[android-developers] Re: How to deal with negative anonymous reviews?

The problem is that there are ad services that charge per app
download, but they demand a minimum rating. So, for new apps, if they
start off with a rating of, say, 1, unless enough people take the
trouble to try it in spite of the rating (not everyone looks at
ratings as objectively and critically as you do), the app will be
stillborn.
