I guess in many ways it is better to mail the dev first if something doesn't work but in reality people (myself included) are quick to review and then move on to the next app. Its a mindset we probably need to get out of - after all, 'real' review sites don't write their reviews in 5 minutes! > I wish there was a way for a developer to contact the author of a > comment using a blind e-mail address so the developer cannot get > information about the user unless the user decides to reply (in fact, > with a proper Reply-To the identity of the user would remain > protected). I agree dev should have means of contacting user at a blind e-mail address (like Google Checkout but for free apps too). This will give users a chance to change their review if either they were factually incorrect or if an upgrade has addressed their concern. I think many reviewers would be happy to revise their review if they found either of these to be the case. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
