reviews in iTunes app store is real of fake?
Before download or purchase a app, the first thing I always do is to read reviews. I found most people write reviews in a positive way. But I am a person who is little bit picky for apps, so I am willing to hear what the minority says. For example, one top-rated app I recently used, it got like 20+ 5-stars only 1 3-stars for the latest version. I am very interested to see the 3-stars review. But I can't. I scrolled down, but iTunes didn't show that review. After using the app for 2 days. I decided to write a review. I also rated this app 3-stars. But after I posting my review. I refresh the page, it disappeared.
So now i am skeptical for the rating system. is it possible some reviews are fake? or apple intend to hide the negative reviews in order to gain more downloads?
Why apple store not let as filtrate review(like what is able to do on Amazon.com. when we click 4 stars, the review page only shows 4 stars reviews)?
