    Just a small rant....

    A) I hate the way peeps give an obviouse five star rated game in the App Store a single star and a poor review just because it crashes on them. This should not be a reason to give low rating. Get over it. I suspect the problem is on your side and not the games.

    B) Also in the App Store, some peeps accidently give a single star rating whilst giving a rave review. Please go back and edit your star rating you muppets.

    Both these point must really piss off developers.


    Ok, rant over. Normal service resumed.

    :)

    I also don't understand why people can't simply reboot or reset their idevices when they say "It doesn't play or load up" They could also delete and re-synch which would probably work. Why even bother to rate it if you didn't actually play it? Oh well, the practice is going to continue.

    Not everybody is smart. Half the reviewers are 12 year olds, and their mommy or daddy bought them an iPod for Christmas.

    B is just as much Apple's fault as the poster's. The proper way to do something like that is to leave the star rating blank and just force the user to choose one when they save if they haven't already. But, we all know how much Apple cares about user friendliness (only 9 pages, cough, cough).
