One of my apps received more than the usual number of "can't open"
comments within the last week.
I guess the word "widget" in its title isn't understood for some
reason...
Do yourself a favor and add a default Activity that shows a message
explaining this. It doesn't matter how clearly you explain this in the
description - some people still don't get the concept of a widget.
You are probably right, but the reason I haven't done it yet is because
I expect Market comments along the lines of:
"A widget-only application for some stupid reason appears in the
applications list!!!!! One star!!!!!! Fix ASAP to get a two-star
rating!!!!!"
For now I've included instructions on how to add a widget to the home
screen right in the description (those measly 325 characters that have
been discussed so much here). Seems to help somewhat.

Wouldn't call it useless, as much as "flawed". There is value to
getting feedback from users and seeing an overall rating for an app
for users to determine if it's worth their time. However, with no way
to respond to individual comments and no expiration on comments (why
is a 1-star rating from a year ago still considered valid?), the
system is certainly not as good as it EASILY could be.
Very much agreed. I'd really like to see a way to publicly respond to
comments, and have responses show up within the same message stream.
