Thats the reason we didn't bother with a star rating at AndAppStore, one 
persons 5 star app is another persons 2 star one. A pure comments system 
means that users have to take the time to think about the problems with 
an app and put it in a form the developer can understand rather than 
trying it, not liking it, and clicking on the 1 star option.
