My 2 cents on what I expierenced so far on the Android market. Just wondering if anyone has advice or opinions on the topic.
How do you guys deal with ratings on applications, especially free ones? I don't understand why people would give an app 1 star when the application runs fine but they feel features aren't up to par. I would agree with 2-3 stars but 1? I would give 1 to apps that crash not run without features you feel are necessary. How do you entice the people who are enjoying it to post a rating? Just like tangible good items you only hear from people who have had a bad expierence I want to make it better but can't without feedback. I all for fair constructive criticism, if I deserve 1 star then great let me know why and i'll fix it, or look into why it has to work the way it works. People will either rate 1 or 5 and nothing in between, and most of the time you only get a rating during 'uninstall' and if its within hours of install its usually a 1. The problem with low rating is that visiblity drops on the app. There is no way to make something better if people don't use it and leave constructive criticism. What's troubling is I've written 3 apps to the 1 app I wrote for the Iphone, that doesn't serve any usefulness like the 3 I wrote on Android, it was a 'test' app. But based on ad requests data it gets used a lot more then any of the apps I've written on the Android. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
