Dear Android Market Commenter,
As an aspiring developer, I deeply value your feedback!
H O W E V E R...
It would be great if you could please stop doing the following things:
1) Stating that you have withheld "Stars" until a specific feature is implemented.
Why you should stop: It makes developers MAD! It gives the impression that you think your review (probably one of hundreds) is so important, that it is equivalent to your holding the dev's next of kin hostage until your demands are met.
What you should do instead: If you would like to see the app improve... Send the Dev a politely worded email.
2) Writing "UNINSTALLED" at the end of your negative review.
Why you should stop: Because DUH!!! Of course you uninstalled the app if you didn't like it... What does this add to the review? Are you trying to hurt my feelings? Because, you haven't.
What you should do instead: If you would like to see the app improve... Send the Dev a politely worded email.
3) Asking the developer a question in your review.
Why you should stop: THEY CAN'T ANSWER YOU!!!! Google provides no method for contacting the authors of Market comments.
What you should do instead: If you would like to see the app improved... Send the Dev a politely worded email.
4) General rudeness.
Why you should stop: Just because you can't see me doesn't mean that I don't exist... I am an actual person. If you didn't like the drink you got at Starbucks (which was probably more expensive than my app) would you be so rude? Probably not... you know why? Because in real life, you could get your face slapped off or a generous helping of saliva in your cafe americano.
What you should do instead: I think you can probably guess.
Thanks for your time!
Sincerely,
Every Android Developer on Earth
