Missing app comments on the Android Market draws the ire of developers
Share:
Looking at the Android Market Developer forum, one developer is complaining that half of the comments on his two apps has disappeared. Another had 70 comments on his app now cut down to 28. Another developer lost so many stars on the paid version of his app that it now has a lower rating than the app's free version. Many Android Market 'shoppers' use these comments and ratings to judge whether or not to install an app. Has someone hacked into the Android Market, or is there a more innocent reason for this?

I Think it's related with the new market going on.... now to the writer of the article most of the issues I've seen on the market occur when a considerable number of changes are done to it and the new app among other features floating around are big changes yet you failed to add that as a possible cause? It could be something to notice but idk

I've had problems with my Incredible and Incresible 2. Sometimes I write a comment and rate an app, and next time I look, it's not there. Never had that problem with Thunderbolt though. Hell, with my GT10.1 I can't even write a comment or rate an app.

Go to the market on your desktop and from there you can see all you had installed before and push any app to your new phone.

Being a fledgling mobile game developer things like this is beyond frustrating. Google practically plead with you to develop for their OS, make you pay for the privilege and then jeopardise any chance you have with fundamental and basic flaws like this. When you are trying to build up an online reputation from scratch all you have to rely on are these comments and ratings. I currently have four apps on the market and having talked with friends, family and the dev community my guess is that I've lost 60-80% of comments and ratings which I've worked darn hard for.
Please check out my apps on the market and see if you can successfully leave a comment (preferably a nice one ;) )

I'm frustrated because my app shows 5 5-star ratings, 1 4-star, and 1 1-star, yet EVEN WHILE DISPLAYING THIS, the marketplace says my four ratings average a 3.8 (the first 4 ratings were 2 5's, a 4, and a 1). When will it factor in my other 3 ratings?!?!? It's been well over a week now!
Someone please email me at contact@allergyeats.com and let me know the answer OR what I can do to help get this corrected! Thank you.

It is always good to know whether the Android App Development Company has the ability to think upon an idea for an application or some design and they are capable of deploying that idea in the market. If the company is capable of creating the easy-to-use application and they have got the framework for that, then in that case you will sure have an advantage.
