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 dont understand apps or there is a german online book being rated ones because people are commenting its stupud because its in german... what do u expect even the descripion is German if u cannot see this was in German dont rate it poorly.. these are all situations and issue that need to be worked out. or require atleast a 300 character comment inorder to rate lower than a 3 so people are not just rated unfairly because of immature people.
