If they’re trying to do it in the Google Play Store, it isn’t working. I’ve never seen so many detailed, comprehensive 1 & 2 star reviews for any app. You just scroll and scroll and it’s nothing but people describing in great detail what a turd the app is.
Seems to be all from people who decided to try the official app when spez pulled this crap and discovered that there was a reason no one used it.
I’m taking bets on how long it takes for Google to remove those 1 & 2-star reviews because some automated review bombing algorithm kicks in.
I’m glad they’re not doing it there… the Apple Store has a bunch with nonsense one line sentences with no grammar or punctuation. One of them even references a different app.
I’ve noticed that too after writing my negative review, lots of fake positive reviews. I’ve also seen a lot of negative reviews under recent and the rating is still showing 4.8 for me on the Apple Store
The rating has dropped from 3.5 stars yesterday to 2.5 stars today, and that’s probably still dropping. Lots of paragraph long, detailed reviews.
The 5 stars are being drowned in negative reviews. Filter reviews to 5 stars and sort by recent. Check out the dates and what is said. Not assuming what is happening but it is sketchy.
