We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback, and we'll keep it in
mind as we work to improve Google Play.


Wow... hot off the photocopier, methinks.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I can only recommend - since it is clear 
you're not going to get any help from Google on this - that you rely on the 
common sense of the average user. If I see a low rating with no comment, I 
generally ignore it. I would only take note of a low rating if the 
accompanying comment looked like it had been constructed carefully and 
presented comprehensive points, as opposed to simply ranting.


Like the subject of licencing and cracking, sometimes the best approach is 
simply to put the effort into making the apps good and useful so that the 
good people buy them - and don't waste valuable time and effort on trying to 
stamp out the negative, since no matter how hard you try, there's always 
someone around the corner who's going to undo your hard work.

[android-developers] How to deal with negative anonymous reviews?

2012-05-09 Thread FractalBob
One of my apps is the victim of repeated negative reviews by an
anonymous poster. No comments are made, just a star rating of 1 done
twice, probably by the same poster. I reported this to Google, but
they don't seem interested in doing anything about it. Here is their
reply to an e-mail I sent on the subject:

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your note.

We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback, and we'll keep it in
mind as we work to improve Google Play.

Regards,
The Google Play Team

Has anyone else experienced this sort of abuse and if so, what have
you done about it?
