It would be really developer friendly if Android market showed comments in English as well, perhaps behind a button click if not by default. In a lot of European countries, even though the primary language is not English(eg. Germay, France, Denmark), most users are reasonably fluent in English.
A single 1 star comment (despite above average ratings) adversely impacts the quality perception of an app. With no option of responding to the comment or providing our side of the story, the current systems is extreeeemely biased against developers. --MB On Mar 6, 10:36 pm, Zsolt Vasvari <[email protected]> wrote: > So true... > > On Mar 7, 2:01 pm, brian purgert <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > I get worse reviews from non english speaking people for some reason.
