Is it just me, or could some app makers be faking their positive review counts?
I was looking at an app in the Play Store that I thought might be good to have. It had 1500+ 5-star count reviews so I read through a few and it all looked good. Being the cynical old fart that I am, I loaded a bunch more "Reviews" and after about five pages of lengthy ones, I started getting one or two-word 5-star reviews. I counted to ten-pages and still they kept coming so at that point I quit looking further as it sure as hell was not getting installed on my X.
Now, to this cynical old fart, those one/two word-ers looked like paid-for pluses.
As always, before installing apps, Caveat Emptor.
Thoughts?
