This is the first time I have a friend who is it an adult and I don't know what to.

Saw that days ago. You missed the chain of 7-10 reviews that said “OK” all conveniently on the same day.

Report then, and at the very least, make them as unhelpful.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a repost from other sub but the platform doesn't show that for this post because I changed the link so it shows the image directly on lemmy. Sorry for the post being misleading about the author. :/

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I didn’t mean that as a repost. I mean I actually saw that on the app store a few days ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, gotcha, this sentence confused me then:

You missed the chain of 7-10 reviews that said “OK” all conveniently on the same day.

so this is a real thing huh? i wonder what reddit will do next...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

they're gonna say "It's reddit time!" and start redditting everywhere

announce a redditor appreciation day and give everyone 30 free gold coins

UK Play store keeping it real :-)

Can't afford to pay mods, but have plenty saved for fake reviewers smh

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I... um... Are they trying to code spam bots themselves? Are they THAT cheap, and, judging by the results, THAT talentless?

I almost feel like we should tell them that there are places you can pay to have others do this "professionally". This almost bypasses Funny and goes straight to Sad/Pathetic.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, this is so pathetic. As if five star reviews would make the people more willing to accept and use their steaming pile of shit app. Shit stays shit, no matter how many 5 star reviews.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

This thing basically perfectly described by the "You can put lipstick on a pig" saying.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Jesus fucking Christ that’s pathetic.

Im wondering why they didn’t take the three seconds to make more convincing translations? It feels like Pre GPT AI lol

What do you want to report? Appstores remove bad reviews under premise of "bomb reviews" (or something like that) for corporations to unhurt their fillings. They did it for example with tiktok.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I mean faking reviews is literally violating laws in some countries, so it's not like there's no basis.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Thanks for giving me the idea to go rate the reddit app 1 star

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure apple must have rules in their App Store about this, right? Can they don anything? Like, hiding it in the App Store as retaliation?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do these reviews read like snippets from some sort of Frankenstein-esque Lorem Ipsum created by hitting autosuggest options on my keyboard?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Markov chain maybe?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Went there to leave my own 1 star review and decided to check these out. Even the 5 star ratings are complaining about how shitty the app is lol

Most of them say things like "the ads are intrusive and the whole thing is bloated and slow BUT I LOVE REDDIT AND THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER"

I guess the only thing people hate more than a worthless garbage app is the slight inconvenience of trying literally anything else

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Good morning and I hope you are having a stroke of the week

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Shocking news.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Considering the things spez has done like trying to prevent people from removing their data while breaking the law, this doesn't surprise me at all.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This just in: you were all wrong! The piece-of-shit app is actually great! Guess now I know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Is it maybe because the rating is getting below 4 stars? Does that create any issue ( like its not in the first results or something...)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Report the individual reviews by long pressing on them and report the app to apple by tapping "report a problem" at the bottom of the app description page. If enough people do this maybe apple will take action. Not sure what the steps are on Android but I'm sure they're similar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I opened the play store to figure this out for you and my wrist got tired scrolling through all the 1 star reviews. if they're buying reviews they're paying too much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I saw this posted maybe on Friday and back then people said theyd report those and told others to, so is possible that they got removed already (or maybe there werent many)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same. I don't see anything but one star reviews.

2.2M downloads and only 3.3 stars. You gotta be really shitty to have that low of a rating at that volume.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How can we get this to hit a headline. That’s hilarious

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Make a sentence out of these words. Surprise, big, not.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Big words surprise, a sentence of make out. Not these.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta pump up those numbers for their IPO
