App Store reviews not posting...WTH?

I'm one month into owning my iPad...and given that, I feel it's time to start reviewing my experiences with Apps.
Specifically, I'm trying to reveiw weather apps, radar apps, and news apps. What you'll typically find with these apps is that there are anywhere between 1,000-8,000 reviews, giving the app nearly a 5 star rating. I'd guestimate that 90% of those reviews are 5-10 words average in content. BY NO MEANS HELPFULL.
I'm very critical on product purchasing. I do my due diligence in reviewing apps prior to purchase, and seek testimonials to make a decision. Lately, I've tried to provide a service to App Store shoppers, and leave very detailed reviews regarding apps that I like and dislike. Over the course of today, I attempted to review 3 apps that I saw as extremely dissappointing and in need of a "call out". MY REVIEWS ARE NOT POSTING!!!
Apple, please explain to me why this is happening. Apple, please explain to me how you preceive this as a service to App Store shoppers. There are various threads touching on this issue, dating back 2-3 years now! Why is it not fixed? Why are reviews not posting?

Same here. When try to read review it will kick me back to my phones home screen.

Anyone else having issues with app store reviews not showing up?

I have maybe about a 50% success rate in posting reviews. The conspiracy theorist in me notices that I have never had a positive review not post, and that negative reviews for apps in the 'featured app' sections seem to never post.
Anyone? Anyone?

Hey rachelfromsheffield,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with connectivity to the iTunes and App Stores. The following resource may provide a solution:

Itunes/app store reviews not showing up on iPhone 4

Is anybody else having trouble reading the reviews for the app store and itunes? I can see the number of starts and number of reviews, but when I try to read them my iPhone 4 doesn't show them. I am able to read some reviews, but for the most part it doesn't show them. I'm trying to find out if the problem is with my iPhone or the app store/itunes.

Why app store is not working without card details

My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
i MADE a new one .

What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :

My app store will not open. when i try to open it i get an error that reads "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete". How can I fix this?

I am having the exact same problem. MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple. After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged." There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon. Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion). Did not work. I also updated the software from "Software Update". Rebooted.
I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was. I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
Anyway, anymore ideas? Even Apple is stumped.
(In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

Just did some more reading. I was going by the icon in the dock. When I checked in Finder, there it was, fixed and brand new!! Thanks, anyway.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

The App Store is not supported in this country

Hi, everyone I live in Hong Kong, and I bought my Ipad in US. When I click on the App Store. It said "The App Store is not supported in this country' How can I solve this problem? Thx for help =]

The Apps Store on your iPad will not work until the iPad is officially released in your country. However, you can buy most apps in your computers iTunes software/account. Type iPad in the apps tab search box, choose "show all" in the iPad tab and scroll through the list. You can also visit a site like appshopper.com and review the apps for iPad and choose the ones you would like. Return to iTunes and search for the names of the apps you want. Some of the "Apple" apps and third party apps(i.e. iBooks, ABC Player, etc.) will not be available until release in your country, however, you can download most.

My app store will not open on my mac

my app store will not load on my mac

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Since I uploaded the new OS X Mavericks the App Store, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Maps and Preview will not launch/open. In Finder cannot find my files. Most crucially cannot upgrade OS X Mavericks software. I had two apple ID's, the old one not used

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

App Store has not up date for over 24 hours now, it was updating as usual early AM Nov. 6th, I have changed nothing, App Store will not let update or purchase happen now. Anyone know why? Thank you.

Change name that shows up when submitting app store reviews

How do I change the name that displays when submitting app store reviews (e.g. reviews for apps)? I can't find anywhere to do it!

iTunes>Store>View My Account>4th box down>Edit Nickname...what do you show there, if anything? Also, are you postive the name being shown is not associated with your account or used with the account to obtain that app?

Mac app store does not accept my apple password

The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

App Store Review Guidelines problem

App Store Review Guidelines says:
iPhone apps must also run on iPad without modification, at iPhone resolution, and at 2X iPhone 3GS resolution.
Does it mean we are not able to submit apps from Adobe Flash CS5 which supports only 320X480 px resolution?

The 2X is automatic, I don't think that you can create an app that won't comply with that.
