I am wondering why they don't require comments? There should be like a minimum of 2 or 3 words (and checked so that they are real words) before the comment pushes. Also, there should absolutely be a way to contact a commenter.. at the very least, the ability to reply to a comment and have a gmail like conversation tree layout for more comments. They should have some sort of option to report a bad review.. like if someone posts 'your app sux.. this one is way better'.. it's not a constructive post nor is it possible to tell if they are just friends of the author of the other app and trying to promote it or being jerks. I suppose thought with millions of apps it would be impossible to monitor comments and I am sure there would be way too many reports of bad posts to handle. Maybe they can come up with some sort of comment AI to rule out useless comments.. heck they can make cars drive by themselves and avoid people and stuff!
