    Hey, Jeffery Tromp is a friend of mine and I can vouch for his review and confirm that he’s not going anywhere else but he’s

    Saw that days ago. You missed the chain of 7-10 reviews that said “OK” all conveniently on the same day.

    Report then, and at the very least, make them as unhelpful.

      It’s a repost from other sub but the platform doesn’t show that for this post because I changed the link so it shows the image directly on lemmy. Sorry for the post being misleading about the author. :/

        Oh I didn’t mean that as a repost. I mean I actually saw that on the app store a few days ago.

          Ah, gotcha, this sentence confused me then:

          You missed the chain of 7-10 reviews that said “OK” all conveniently on the same day.

      I… um… Are they trying to code spam bots themselves? Are they THAT cheap, and, judging by the results, THAT talentless?

      I almost feel like we should tell them that there are places you can pay to have others do this “professionally”. This almost bypasses Funny and goes straight to Sad/Pathetic.

    Wow, this is so pathetic. As if five star reviews would make the people more willing to accept and use their steaming pile of shit app. Shit stays shit, no matter how many 5 star reviews.

      This thing basically perfectly described by the “You can put lipstick on a pig” saying.

      What do you want to report? Appstores remove bad reviews under premise of “bomb reviews” (or something like that) for corporations to unhurt their fillings. They did it for example with tiktok.

    Pretty sure apple must have rules in their App Store about this, right? Can they don anything? Like, hiding it in the App Store as retaliation?

    Why do these reviews read like snippets from some sort of Frankenstein-esque Lorem Ipsum created by hitting autosuggest options on my keyboard?

    Went there to leave my own 1 star review and decided to check these out. Even the 5 star ratings are complaining about how shitty the app is lol

    Most of them say things like “the ads are intrusive and the whole thing is bloated and slow BUT I LOVE REDDIT AND THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER

    I guess the only thing people hate more than a worthless garbage app is the slight inconvenience of trying literally anything else
