    in the last day or 3 i've been reading game reviews and writing a few myself, when in so many different apps in the review sections i see the same review saying -

    Download Unlimited Itunes Content


    all the same massage and by different peeps all the time. im in the UK and, for instance, looking at the 4th user view of Fling. or the 3rd review of Shrek Kark.
    or maybe the 1st review in skysmash 1918.

    this is riddled all over the app store in hundreds of app userviews by the looks of it.

    surely Apple could sort this out?

    If it's not a review of the app, report it.

    Apple supposedly reviews the reviews before they're live - a good handful of complaints might help the reviewer review how they review reviews. ;)

    I hate to say it but I stopped reading reviews in the appstore ever since I realized 99 percent of them are utter crap. Not that this is any better,

    Guess I'm neutral

    Yeah I noticed this last night, the weird thing about the one I saw (dunno if they're all the same) was that I couldn't even tell what it was advertising... there was no product name, no URL... so what's the point?
