Good luck proposing, nobody's listening :s > to the market rating system where a rate of 1 or 5 > must include comments What you'll get is : 1 star ratings with the following very helpful(but short to type) comments : - lame - wt wrk - awful - meh Even worst : Upset that they can't post their one star rating without a comment they'll make it count by being even meaner :s And for the 5 stars ratings they'll be the same as now but a lot fewer since they require more work. So you'll have the worst of both world :D If you really want feedback on your app, you should probably simply implement it in your app and ask for it when people press your Quit button(that you really shouldn't have because it's against android policy...but anyway :) Not sure if this advice applies to you but this type of rating system exists since arpanet or so and works very well. In the long term, 1 star-jerk rating are just overwhelmed with the 4 and 5 stars of people who took time to actually test your app and understood it. So wait a few weeks and it won't matter anymore And one last thought, even though it is tough to see them appear in the comment list, 1 star-jerk rating means nothing about your app if they are not the norm in your ratings. They just give you a clue about the lazyness and attention span of the 1 star-jerker :D Oh and one last-last thought : If your last comment out of 3 comments in total is this 1 star-jerk rating, did you know you can download your app, rate it and comment it under your google market account ? Every time you change your comment it will come back to the top. Take care.
