Competitor is giving many bad reviews in the app store

My competitor in the iphone app store is leaving many bad reviews and directing people to his app. What can I do?

I feel your pain. People can leave bad reviews without even trying your application. they can leave reviews that are in a broken english that actually make ZERO sense (on the US appstore) and give you 1 star. You can click the report a concern but I have never seen Apple actually take a review down.
Any high school kid who's mom bought him an iPod Touch can leave a review like "this should be free"...1 star. And there is nothing you can do about it because Apple did not think far enough ahead about this whole AppStore process because they were in such a rush to get it out the door.
Basically, us developers are OUT of luck and just have to let our applications speak for themselves.

  • Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store?

    Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store? Every review that is longer than 6 lines has three dots, indicating more, but nowhere to click to see the rest of the review.

    Thank you.  I only saw the word "More" on one review of one app that I looked at, and I knew to click on that. But many reviews of several apps had three dots at the end of the sixth line without the word "More".  And it was obvious there was more written because it was, for example, left in the middle of a sentence.

    You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:

    I want to purchase an ipad 32gb in the larger size buy have read many bad reviews that they have problems staying connected to wifi.  I don't want to have to buy a data package so I only want the wifi one.  I already pay apple for my iphone data and I can't afford more money.  Why are there so many bad reviews and are the newer ones that much better, according to many reviews they are not.Please help

    I already pay apple for my iphone data
    You pay your carrier for data, not Apple.
    Why are there so many bad reviews
    Where? Regardless, there are always going to be a handful of people having some sort of issue with any given device, but I would not therefore assume that you would be one of them.

  • Why can't I leave a review in the app store?

    I have many apps on my iPad, but I have never been able to leave a review.

    I currently have the same problem on iOS 7.1 on 4th generation iPad. This is happening over a period of weeks and multiple apps that I cannot submit reviews for.  I can go back in the "write review" of the app and the info is still populated and hit submit again but it does not work.  There is also nothing inappropriate in my reviews either.  I have done everything people have suggested to no avail like resetting my iPad.

  • 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!

  • Frequent problems when trying to leave a review in the App Store

    Why does the App Store repeatedly ask for my password, not letting me leave a review for an app?  It's very frustrating.  The app asks me to leave a review, but I can't write one because I'm in an annoying circular pattern of being asked for my password, I enter it and it repeats.  There's never a problem with my password when I'm purchasing something!

    It seems to me that your nickname from the iTunes Store on a computer does not necessarily carry over to the App Store on the iPad.
    So I suggest simply re-entering your nickname.  Surely there is no harm in doing that.

  • Can't rate or write reviews in the App Store !

    I can review apps I've downloaded or purchased trough iPhone but not those from my PC and not only the paid apps, the free ones too.
    This is very weird...Any advice ?

    Thank you.  I only saw the word "More" on one review of one app that I looked at, and I knew to click on that. But many reviews of several apps had three dots at the end of the sixth line without the word "More".  And it was obvious there was more written because it was, for example, left in the middle of a sentence.

  • I can't write a review on the App Store. When I try it says I have to download or purchase the app first even if I already have it. What can I do?

    I have tried to write reviews for both temple run 2 and tiny monsters and they both didn't work but I just thought it was because the review was too long so I tried it again with a shorter review but it still didn't work and then just on a random other app that I didn't really want to review and it still didn't work. Can anyone please help me, Thanks.

    Make sure you are signed into the account that purchased it. If the app is on your phone but you are signed into an account that didn't purchase it then it won't let you review the app.

  • How can you fix the too many http redirects on the App Store

    Each time I use my App Store and click on top 25 or categories it says too many http redirects and I need help fixing this problem. This problem has been occurring for about 1-2 weeks

    I never had happen on app store but try this:
    Removing or clearing stored Safari content
    To clear your history from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History
    To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
    iOS 5 or later: To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data
    referenced artilce HT1677. If it still does not work just use a computer and sync apps over or call apple support (you most likely will have to pay for it though).

  • Removing offensive reviews from the App Store

    I'm wondering if it is possible to have a review removed if it contains offensive material. I don't care if the rating still affects the "score" of my application but there were comments posted that are not relevant to the application and are patently offensive to the audience of the application.
    (Search for DV Awareness and examine the reviews and you'll see what I mean)
    Do any of you know if there is any recourse for this situation?
    Thanks!

    That's what "Report a Concern" is for, like you asked in your other post.

  • 3028 Lion reviews in the App store.

    And yet none available to read!

    Bearing in mind most users will have had an hour or two to use it, I wouldn't think their reviews will be worth much anyway!

  • 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..

  • Lovoo app by k2g media ltd is spam advertising and keeps opening the App Store, how can I stop it

    How can I stop this app from hijacking safari.

    It is the site you are going to.
    The advertising they are using is giving safari a URL for the App Store, causing safari to open the App Store.
    Stop going to the site using this kind of advertising, it will stop happening.
    I had this is issue with a Mac news site.
    I stooped going to their site, it stopped happening.
    I also used the contact us link on their site to tell them I was leaving and why.
