So I want to know if I'm the only one who sees these spam reviews, they seem to appear mainly on apps and games (well from what I've seen).

I'm sure you are not the only one seeing those spam reviews. Just a heads up that I'm going to delete that photo from your post since it only adds to spreading of the spam content.
 
Yes, everyone sees them.
Do everyone a favor: when you see them, click the spam flag on the review.

Ok, I was only using it as an example (so people knew what I was on about)

I wish they would have left it up since I'm not familiar about what you're referencing. I guess I don't DL any game apps.
 
Report em as you see em.... Google gives you the option to thumbs up/down or report reviews as spam. I am sure they have some filters designed to catch a lot of them, but spammers are always looking to get around the system.
 
By spam you guys are referring to falsified reviews, posted by the developer to increase star ratings?.. correct?
 
No. Spam are the "reviews" that have nothing to do with the app. True spam.
False reviews are just that, false reviews.
 
Yes, I see spam reviews quite often... They are quite annoying, especially when you are trying hard to verify that the app is giving users positive experiences and you then have to scroll through all the yucky spam to try and find actual reviews.
