on the other hand...
I really hate it when developers use their friends or partners to give their apps glowing reviews. The new satellite dish pointing app, for example, has (when I checked last) 4 5 star reviews (all glowing, well written reviews), one 3 star, and 5 1-star ratings.
Now, there is no competition that I can see for this, so spending $20 to give this app a 1 star rating doesn't seem to make any sense unless they really didn't like the app, and were upset with having had to pay so much for them. But why would there be such a huge discrepancy between ratings?
So I did a little google search for satelliteguys.us (the first reviewer with 5 stars) and it turns out that they're hosting the support forum for the app itself. I didn't bother with the other 5 star reviews, but they all looked like advertisements for the app as well.
Maybe its just me, but that turns me right off of buying from companies like that, and really makes me wonder about the quality of their apps.
