I suspect that alot of comments... especially on free apps are competitors... not just trolls. I have had people post comments that were entirely untrue about my apps before... in addition, you can never underestimate the stupidity of the average user. I have had some negative comments because the idiot couldn't figure out that there was a menu button on his phone... so they didn't know how to access the features of the app. Another thing that is annoying is "this app does not look appealing"... what kind of comment is that and why would anyone take the time to make such a comment?
