Like I said above people are more likely to give 1 *s or 5 *s. If they leave 1 * they are not looking for help, if they were they would have mailed you first. They are just venting their frustration and moving on to the next app. Another popular rating is 4 * - e.g. 'will give 5* once such and

Yes I use that too! Still get the 1* ratings though. I have an average of 4.59 - so I must have mostly good ratings. Usually the users with issues who rate 1* can have the problem solved by using Taskiller or a quick setting change but like I said, they are not asking for help, just wanting to

Would be great if there was a way to embed the rating system within an app. The number of ratings would rocket! Going back to the point about knowing which device was behind the rating, I totally agree. At the moment a rating is tied to a user account. Wouldn't it be good if a rating was tied to
