I really question what developers are doing to get so many F/C
comments (and I see them on other apps all the time).

I have a crash/bug reporter integrated into my app. It's not a very
good one - it just uploads exception stacktraces and some data to my
server when the core logic code crashes, so it doesn't even cover UI
bugs.

I have hundreds of reports from the wild (about 25k downloads). So
obviously my app does fail. Yet, the comments on the app are all
glowing, and people are remarkably willing to give 4 or 5 stars even
when it didn't do quite what they wanted. I really wonder about the
buggyness of apps that get significant numbers of F/C comments.

It must be frustrating to see comments about bugs that you can't
reproduce, but at the same time, I think some people here believe
writing software is easy. It's hard. I did all kinds of testing with
my app, including disrupting its network connection at various points
as it runs, repeatedly sliding the screen to force activity
reconstruction etc. Some bugs still slipped through, fortunately the
crash reports identify them quite well as most people with problems
will never even leave a comment, let alone email you to help you
figure out the problem.
