Most of them will get removed due to ““hate spam”” anyways
Has already happened. Its on 3.9 again.
Might be location based. Central Canada and it’s at 2.6
But they haven’t removed the obvious 5 star spam?
2.6 Germany. The 1 star reviews surpass the 5 stars by a lot!
2.6 in Australia
2.9 in australia
3.5, Malaysia.
oh damn u seem to be in a reddit app country. So far the highest rating in any location
any evidence for your claims? Certainly I woikd assume it can happen that reviews get removed it you actually just write slurs in the comment but that’s just stupid. Other than that I highly doubt google ever removes legit reviews
4.8/5 on the apple store, Lol.
Most likely paid for those reviews lol
By definition, iPhone owners don’t mind paying ridiculous prices for things they can get for free.
I mind a lot, personally.
ok
The iPhone hate is hilarious to me. I used androids for years. Galaxies and Pixels. Without fail before two years old they were slow hot pieces of shit with terrible battery degradation
I decided to try iPhones. On a 12 pro since release. It just fucking works and battery has remained great. Sure it’s dropped to 80% capacity compared to release. But guess what. When it hits 79 apple will warranty it for me
I’ve spent less on phones since switching to iPhone than I ever did when using android
I don’t hate the iPhone. I hate Apple for taking advantage of people who don’t know any better.
At this point they have a captive audience of computer-illiterate users who are trapped in the Apple ecosystem, forced to pay obscene amounts of money when their flimsy chargers die, because they literally cannot fathom how to use any UI more complicated than pressing a single button over and over again until their device does what they want.
(And they hold their resale value really well. And the support windows are insane by comparison. I’m just saying 🤷♀️)
“The new app is broken and frustrating” But they gave it five stars…
Sounds like laptop review I’ve seen yesterday.
“Random restarts”
“Battery doesn’t charge”
5 stars
If you are on an iOS device, be sure to rate the lower starred reviews as “helpful”.
- find the app in the App Store
- tap show all reviews
- sort by most critical, or most recent
- long press on a review to select helpful/not helpful
On Play Store there’s a Yes or No “Was this review helpful?” question below each review.
How does this affect the overall rating?
Despite the API protests, the Official Reddit app sucks anyways. It uses a ton more data and battery than third party apps, so I’d never use it again. The app also has a bunch of tracking built in.
It also stutters like mad even on high end phones. I almost feel like making it work well would have required less effort. No idea why dozens of indie developers all did far better jobs.
Reddit app is steaming pile of shit that doesn’t get better with time, which is fascinating.
I still use (paid version of) Joey and it still works. The moment it stops working I am ditching Reddit and using Lemmy completely.Why wait, tho.
A lot more content on Reddit and more diverse population.
Life is more than what you can consume on a daily basis
I spoke with a kestrel once (a type of bird) and they asked what people consume in general to be able to have this notion
I was using RIF is fun up until today. this morning it just stopped loading anything…so here I am 🤷
Central Europe
And many of the 1 star reviews are really well put with good constructive feedback. So no reason to delete them. Riiight?
Showing 4.8 for me, southern US. I did do my part though!
I hate how they try to force you into the app from the mobile website now.
No I don’t want to use your shitty app. I won’t even download it to leave a bad rating.
In my experience, haven’t they always done that?
We did it
redditlemmy!I did my part just now
In Chile it still shows up with 4 stars 😬🇨🇱
I love democracy

Not in my store.
Idk why they are different for everyone…
Apparently based on region and device.
Kinda idiotic tbh.
Also, what is “region”? Country? City?
The area where milfs are in according to pornsites…
by “device” they mean phone, tv, or tablet.
Filtered by language
Yup. I’ve seen a few of these threads, and our Australian store always looks almost identical to the German one.
I’m starting to wonder if Google is confusing us with Austria.
It’s different depending on your device + location
What it is amusing to me is that I read reviews like “perfect UI” LMAO.
I was surprised by the people commenting the official app is just great when the Reddit protests began. But it’s hard to know if they’re genuine comments or propaganda bots or whatever…
Anyways, it’s been a lot of fun to experiment with the many Lemmy apps showing up recently. I’m enjoying Lemmy way more than I did Reddit. Never coming back.
