I have to say I agree - we have racist abuse on our comments and as far as I can tell there's no way to remove it. We've had numerous emails from people asking us to remove the comment but we're powerless to do anything! Google - please take note, allow developers to mark comments as abusive!

I can see this as a good idea so I've comment ratings into AndAppStore.com, sorted the displayed comments by ranking, and show 5 at a time. It took me a couple of hours to put the code together, so I'd hope that the guys at google can do something similar for marketplace in the next few

Yes it is rediculous, There is swearing, racial slurs, comments about body parts, all randomly out of nowhere. Google needs to kill the comments from being displayed so that only the app creator can see them and the rating system is defunk as well because people are ratting 1;'s because they
