I do it all the time. If you have your app installed on your device the Android Market will detect it as "Installed" and allow you to rate it and comment it as if you purchased it. Your app may not always show up in your Downloads list, so you may have to search for it, but it works. (I'm using G1 with 1.6). That being said, I do not agree that this is a good way to respond to comments. You can only have one comment up at a time so trying to respond to hundreds if not thousands of comments in this fashion is simply ridiculous. > > >> 4.

As is I have to butcher the English language and leave out features due to the lack of space. Why it's so difficult to increase this limit is simply baffling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
