I've just sent feedback via the Developer's Console and captured this screen. Cannot understand how suddenly a lot of people find my app is terrible... I've lost 0.25 points of rating since this little help from Google to get more people rating. Incredible.

Any news regarding this issue? I don't know if I didn't pay attention before or if it's a brand new feature of the Play app. Now you can rate an app immediately after tapping Install (or Buy), *before* the install completes! How can you have an opinion for an app you actually didn't use at

I'm still far from being top or even mid-tier in terms of app downloads but this morning I also got my first 2-star mystery rating for a paid app of mine - no comment and no Google+ name I could respond to. That didn't happen to me so far since most users tried the free version first and then

Ugh Google needs more prodding I guess. I sent this to the feedback form on the Dev Console: *Since dec 10 or so, the ranking for my app has been in a steady decline.* *Many other high rated apps see the same.* *Other developers have tracked this down to a new feature you introduced in the

Hello, We've experienced a very similar dramatic increase in 1-star ratings in the last couple of days, from less than 5% to near 20% (over a sample of app. 200 ratings). There seems to be no natural explanation: - No update has been released in this period. - No change in crash logs (crash

+1 to this. Showing good will to continue conversation via email is the best way to revert negative ratings. IME sometimes one can give a brief explanation but not in order to engage in a conversation. It all depends on the tone of the comment El martes, 7 de enero de 2014 08:45:30 UTC-3, b0b

Well for low or normal rated app this can be only half bad or good. For very high rated apps the result is catastrophic when a 4.9 rating 5 star rating is the only way to get known over competition this change that generate lot's of false rating is just killing some apps. Google have to do
