The majority of my ratings are 5 star too but in fairness would you

Well, as a developer, yes, I would. :) NetFlix isn't really a good
comparison, because how you rate apps in the store doesn't really affect
what's recommended to you.
A lot of Netflix users may not look at it that way. Many I've talked to
just feel like they are armchair critics. It effect the Netflix
heuristics on what they recommend to you but as a film buff I only pay
some passing attention to what they recommend because my tastes are too
broad for them to nail down. Most of their recommendations happen to be
films I've already seen and some that I even own. I actually just go to
the new releases section each and start at the end page clicking back to
the front to select films of interest.
I'm would be pleased with a 3 star and a 4 star.
When I was at PlayFirst, they talked about wanting to have a lot of 5's
and a lot of 1's. If users review your apps with a lot of 3's, then it's
not exciting enough. They need to be excited by it in order to buy it --
or at least keep playing it.
Typical way marketing would look at things. I'm asking if you were a
real critic, let's say CNET hired you to review apps, how would you rate
them?
Not sure if this applies outside of the world of games, but there it is.
