App Store sorting reviews

Have to agree with most people that the new App Store layout it horrible.
How do you sort the order of the reviews? They seem to me to be in no logical order and I want them in date order.

I know what you are talking about pagemakers2! The appstore has become so confusing! And the reviews issue is just one point-.-
One is no longer able to sort the apps by their release date... How am i supposed to see new apps, if i can't look at them?? I don't want to scroll 2h to find them in the categories!
I hope this will be fixed soon

You say I must purchase app from app store to review. I did!

I got the free tower defense game "Midieval Defenders Saga" from the App Store. It shows in my apps. When I go to review it, it says I must have purchased it from the app store to review it. I downloaded from my purchases after reformmating. What the heck?

On your phone (from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311):
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

App Store Sorting Loop Holes

Looks like some developers are taking advantage of a bug/loop hole in Apple's sorting algorithm in the App Store on the device. If you put a space or some other other special characters in the front of your Application Name then you get sorted at the top of the list when viewing applications by Categories on the device. Look at the Games category in the App Store on a device and you will see a blatant example of what I am talking about.

Yes companies have played games with the yellow pages forever, but I do not think that putting a space in front of your business name would get you at the front of the yellow pages listing.
This technique seems to really work to boost sales, the " Solitaire City" that is right now at the front of the list, (do not know how long it will stay there before they get leap frogged), has been steadily creeping up the Top Apps list. This game is $9.99, certainly not cheap for Solitaire.

App Store sort of in french???

I have just got an iPod touch an when i connect to the app store via wifi some of it seems to be in french ie. the download button and other features how can i change this to english?
Any help would be great thanks!

Check that Settings, -> General -> International -> Language is set to English.
Or it could be that you've got one of those sneaky French/Canadian iPods.

How to app store sort

Hi eveybody,
I need some help, if so, I'll very be appreciated.
I wonder what are the criterias in apples's app store to rank first in search results, I mean, I want to be listed in higher places whenever users search puzzle games. What can I do to be ranked higher in these search results?
Regards,
Volkan Yasa

As far as I am aware there aren't any settings/defaults that you can change for the App Store app - if it's something that you'd like then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I can't write reviews in the app store

I want to review apps on the app store, but it won't let me.
many months ago I reviewed an app. my very first review. and since then I haven't been able to submit reviews.
the review form doesn't have the "name" part, and I don't know why. the name part is usually by the title part, but it's not there.
sorry if this is in the wrong community, but please help me.

Hi
I am having the same problem. When I go to the App store to review an App the review section tab dead ends with a blank review screen. I cannot view other reviews nor add a review. Haven't had this problem before in reviewing Apps! Help! Does the problem reside with Apple or me? Someone please respond!

Why does the side scroll in the app store drop down?

Hey everyone,
I figured I'd post a question in relation to something that has been nagging me...
Everytime I go to the app store and review the scrollable screen shots on the details tab, the screen drops down after each pic.
Is this a iPhone 4S thing after the iOS 6.## due to the larger screen on the iPhone 5 or is this a glitch within the app store?

The general answer is to go to the app store, log in to the Apple ID you used to purchase the apps (or if they came with a new system the AID you registered it with) and go to purchased apps and download
For specific questions you need to contact the app store support

App Store white screen Flash Builder

Hello,
I'm developing a full flash app with Flash Builder 4.7 that is always rejected by the App Store review team.
In fact, when I develop with Flash Builder, I don't have any error from the console or the debugger.
But when I send the app to the App Store review team, at the second screen, they have a white screen, that can't allow them to use the app.
I have review my appon iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPad 2, 3, Air, iPod Touch 4G, always with the latest version of the OS.
Could anybody tell me how can I see this bug, or review the app for sending it to them and finally validate the app ?
Thanks by advance
Regards
Mr Camacho

I have to precise that I contacted the App Store team review but as it's in AS3, they don't want to help me.
So I hope anybody could, because it's been a month that I try to upload this app
Thanks
Mr Camacho

How is "most helpful" determined in App Store Reviews sort field?

How is "most helpful" determined in each apps Reviews sort field In the App store? I use this field to help make decisions. I like to see how buyers feel about their purchases. But, as a buyer, I've never been asked which review I consider most helpful.
I'm finding some really poor apps with high ratings. Help, please! If this has already been answered, I was directed to begin a new discussion. Thanks!

Yes, most people download from there iOS device. But there are over 1,000,000 who Do it from there computer.
In the itunes store.

App Store reviews are useless without being sorted in reverse chronological order.

This is an important question, as it goes to the fundamental usefulness of app reviews in the App Store. Recently one of my favorite ios apps was updated and done so poorly that it went from a 5 star to a 1 star app. Subsequently, the developer did a minor tweak, creating a newer version that did not fix the major issues, but has resulted in the many, many negative reviews written after the disastrous update being buried in all the high rating reviews created for a great previous version that no longer exists. Why are app store reviews no longer sorted by latest review first, i.e. reverse chronological order? It makes no sense for a review written in 2012 rating a a much older version of the app to be well ahead of 2014 reviews that relate to the disastrous update that occurred only a few months ago. I wrote a very negative review but now that the developer has made a trivial update, my review is buried very deep in the older version section well behind reviews written in 2013 and 2012. That makes no sense whatsoever and defeats the purpose of user reviews. I can only believe that Apple has done this for the benefit of app developers, as I see no logical reason how it can benefit the Apple iPhone and iPad consumer.

Why do my App Reviews and Ratings don't show up in the App Store?

Hey everyone..
    I've been having trouble for at least a year now where whatever Review I write does not show up anywhere. I have done a lot of research on this subject prior to opening this Thread here, and have obvioudly not found anything on the subject.
I am aware as I read somewhere that for a review to display, the app needs to have at least 5 reviews, (which I also find obscure). We are talking about apps that have loads of reviews already posted.
It's needless to say HOW annoying it is to spare PRECIOUS time to review an app, (whether for positive, negative, neutral), and find out that it just went to waste. I never had this problem till about 1 year ago, where I noticed that no matter where I wrote a review, (from my macbook, within the store, from my iPad mini, from my ipod touch), it just NEVER showed up even after days or even weeks when I checked back.
Before I start wrting the review it asks for my Apple store password, (so far so good), after I'm done with the rating and Review, I press submit and .....nada....I don't get a confirmation or something that will say it's under Review from the App store. When I try to repeat the process, get out of the app I'm trying to review, and go back to write my Review, what I wrote is just simply sitting there, together with my Rating as if nothing happened.
I am aware that others have written before about this issue to no avail, now can SOMEONE please put an end to this MADNESS and answer one and for ALL the very, lately, disappointed, Apple fans that keep accumulating....? Can Apple give us an OFFICIAL explanation/solution to this very annoying issue? Or does it prefer to conveniently leave it as is for some "obscure" reason...?
Any replies will be more than appreciated...
Cheers

Ok everyone...
So, after going through a hundred steps to manage and contact Apple Support via e mail, I sent them an e mail and got a reply saying that they will get in touch with me within 48hrs. Today, (24hrs), I received a reply telling me that they understand my frustration and has been an "on going issue". He wanted alse to verify what my nickname was for my the Reviews I had given.
   After revisiting for the millionth time my iTunes store Account, to go to settings, and manage Reviews, (which is what I always did to check and see if they show up), to find out if my nickname had changed for some reason, I pressed on some older reviews, (like from 2010, which I remember had shown up), to check out my nickname.
I verified my nickname being the same as I remember. The 2nd app I checked which I knew I had reviewed, but from last year, was not showing. So, it dawned on me to press the “All Versions” options on the reviewing section of the app…and…voila….there it was. So, I took it further and looked at other even more recent reviews I had written and I also found out that they showed under the “All Versions” option.
   Then I checked my last 3-4 that I did within the last few months that I knew did not show up and the apps also had no Upgrades that I knew of. Then, I discovered the sorting options , (on the right side), for showing Reviews. It seems like that it automatically sorts them out by “Most Helpful”, (which is odd), so I chose “Most Recent”…and….voila again, my review was beautifully sitting there with my nickname and everything…I couldn’t believe it.
Now I’m going to try and find if there is a way to have the “Most Recent” always as default…is there…? But it makes me wonder if all of you guys have the same problem and if the solution is indeed the same, (sorting out by most Recent or whatever other option will make your review show up). Give it a try and see how it works out for you. Please take the time to post your findings here. It would be helpful for everyone else as well. I wonder why Apple has not picked up on this?
I have to give it to them for the quick reply though..(mind you my e mail was quite.."angry"..).
Thanks again for reading..

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,
Nathan

English reviews in non English app stores

In the past it was possible to see the English / American reviews in non-English app stores. It would be more than nice to get that ability back. In small countries there are often not that many reviews and also English speaking people in non-English countries should be able to read reviews.

Are you referring to the Customer Reviews? iTunes doesn't distinguish which language is used by the customer in writing the review so it can't filter out those you don't want to see. In fact someone could write one review and use many languages in it, but it seems those that speak German are the most vocal in the Swiss store.
This is also a user forum. Responses are from other users of Apple products. It is mainly for other users helping you with a problem that they can fix. If you want to give feedback to Apple select Provide iTunes Feedback from the iTunes menu from within the iTunes application.

ITunes will not open on my iPod touch - jumps to App Store review page

When I open iTunes on my 8gb iPod touch, it starts to load (you can see the 'music', 'video' 'search' etc options at the bottom) but before anything actually loads, the screen closes, and then re-opens always on an Angry Birds review page in the App Store. I can navigate away from this page to other areas in the Apps Store, but it is always the same when i try to launch iTunes.
I have double checked my iTunes on my computer (PC - running XP)and i am running 9.2.1.5 so i believe i am up to date. I can sync no problem on my computer and can see everything in iTunes when i'm connected to it. Oh, and iTunes tells me my iPod software is up to date.
I am hoping there is something i can try before having to revert back to factory settings. I have only had the iPod about 2 weeks. And i have tried shutting it off, turning it on, etc.
thanks!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup
- The try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
