Not manipulated in the sense that anyone is told what to write. But several people I know left repeated scathing reviews that kept disappearing mysteriously. They would write a review, it would disappear, they write another, it would disappear - write, delete, repeat.Am I missing something? Most of CM's apps on Google Play has great reviews. Are they manipulated?
I agree. I am learning that now. I use to rely on these tech sites saying the product was the best ever then I got it and it sucked badly even returning a few. Now I don't trust these shill paid tech site reviews. I also can't even trust the reviews on Amazon no more. Many of them get the products for free for a "honest" bogus review. I rather watch real users review the products on YouTube which are more honest and then after I decide if it is worth it to buy it or not.Also, you simply can't trust reviews, not only by ordinary people, who should not be expected to be experts or do real testing.You're gonna get wildly up and down reviews from them, it's just the nature of the beast. But even those by people who should know better, like tech sites and tech bloggers, often can't be trusted. They apparently just write what they're told to write to appease advertisers, they are not technically competent to do their job properly, or they just don't care and don't put in the effort. They simply don't do their homework on stuff. Of course many do a great job and many thanks to them!

Read this and the links in it. Then ask yourself:I understand the dislike for the new owner.
However, did they do any actual harm in their first release?
Read this and the links in it. Then ask yourself:
Is this a company that I want to support in any way?
What will they do with QuickPic in the future?
