With Balcassa, we have found that we are getting far fewer reviews than with the Idiot Detector. I would like to believe that this is because people are not removing it from their phones ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something I would like to see would be a way for developers to comment on reviews. I have seen a few good apps with very bad reviews simply because the reviewer did not understand what they were buying or because they thought a feature was &amp;quot;missing&amp;quot;.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5700302300790578476/2022344586116715569/comments/default/6867812958309219985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5700302300790578476/2022344586116715569/comments/default/6867812958309219985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.openplanetsoftware.com/2009/05/serious-business-of-idiot-detector-part.html?showComment=1253551257450#c6867812958309219985' title=''/><author><name>Gavin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16270460871883483985</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.openplanetsoftware.com/2009/05/serious-business-of-idiot-detector-part.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700302300790578476.post-2022344586116715569' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5700302300790578476/posts/default/2022344586116715569' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-527670989'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700302300790578476.post-6550555857924331535</id><published>2009-09-10T04:17:32.296+01:00</published><updated>2009-09-10T04:17:32.296+01:00</updated><title type='text'>On the ratings side, you have one very big thing w...</title><content type='html'>On the ratings side, you have one very big thing working against you - any time you delete an app, you automatically get an instant popup asking you to rate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I imagine that most people who delete apps do so because they don&amp;#39;t like them... so all those people who didn&amp;#39;t like the app get an easy way to express that opinion.
