Why are (appropriate) negative app reviews ignored?  Only positive reviews are posted?

I postes a negative review of the Intuit ItsDeductible app when it lost all my data and it was never posted.  In the interim, five positive reviews posted.

First time poster.  If I've posted in the wrong forum, your help is appreciated.
Recently, I purchased an app from Skylab called USA On-Device GPS Map ($10.00) for my brand-new Playbook (first-time RIM customer).  There was one review with glowing feedback that suggested this app would meet my needs.  I was very excited to finally join the tablet community, and was looking forward to use my tablet as a GPS device, but the app has not worked once.  I contacted the developer for assistance and several weeks later I'm yet to receive a response.  I went back to App World to leave a negative review, by then there were several dissatisfied customers.  Today, I checked back to see if my review had been posted, but instead, all negative reviews had been deleted.  There isn't a single negative review posted.  Skylab has conveniently deleted them.  I tried to re-post, but now I can't.  This is UNETHICAL!!!
I'm afraid others will spend their money on something that is useless.  I contacted RIM support to report the shady practices of this developer in hopes that they would contact them, but they said they couldn't do anything about it.  How can RIM allow its customers to get ripped off?  This does not inspire confidence in the company.  Now, I'm reluctant to buy any more apps from App World.  How can you distinguish the ethical from the unethical developers if negative reviews can be easily deleted by them?  I think RIM is making a mistake.  Apps is one major reason why people buy tablets.  I like my Playbook and hope to have a better experience once the Droid Market opens to us.  Until then, I'll  take the $10.00 loss as a lesson, and not buy any more apps from App World.  How disappointing!

  • Are extension developers allowed to keep only favorable reviews by claiming negative reviews of their product are "misplaced bug reports" and deleting them?

    Twice Georgio Maone deleted my negative, 1-star reviews about NoScript, claiming they were "misplaced bug reports." Is this acceptable Mozilla practice for developers to keep their ratings high by deleting low ratings?

    I have found that everything on Mozilla is subject to censorship and lots of it. If they dont like what you say then either your account will be disabled or the comment will be removed or both.

    What to du? Uninstall the whole CC package and start all over? Or what?

    Erin I am sorry you are facing difficulty downloading the Creative Cloud software.  It can be frustrating when you do not have access to high speed stable Internet.
    You can attempt to download the base installers and updates by following the directions listed at:
    Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
    All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Windows | ProDesignTools
    You may want to attempt to utilize some form of download management as the main issue seems to be the stability of your connection.
    There is not currently a method to resume downloads within the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  There is download management included though it may not be enough to compensate for the current Internet connection.  If you are curious you can find additional details on how to resolve download errors at Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

  • Garageband app - false number of positive reviews?

    It claims to have 17 for the current version - but there are only 2! And 20-odd negative reviews!

    Apple has been caught doing some shady things in the past, just check the law-suits...  Conspiracy to fix raised prices was one of many incidences in the recent past. We can go on and on, but I think you're a little too paranoid in regard to the voting thing.
    It is true that studies in the past showed unfair and hugely biased ratings by game magazines, correlated to how much $$$ the publishers were willing to spend to advertise in the magazine. But I have yet to see this by Apple. In fact, look at OS X Server, I almost never bought that due to the hugely negative reviews and votes that it's been getting. I believe it probably is still at 1 star at the moment.... If Apple were cheating, you'd think that's one of the first thing's they'd try to clean up.

  • Why my chinese input app fails?

    When I switch from English Input to Chinese Input, I can't input anything to several apps including Mails, QQ, Evernote.
    But I can input Chinese in Chrome and other apps.
    Not only character keys are disabled, number keys and delete key are also disabled.

    Thanks for your attention.
    It works well in TextEdit.
    I've tried Simplified Pinyin (the original Chinese IM included in OS) and Sogou Pinyin IM, but neither work.
    Til now, only Mails, QQ and Evernote are affected. However, if I set English IM before I open QQ app and switch to Chinese IM after QQ's setup, Chinese IM becomes OK. But this doesn't appear in Mails and Evernote.
    I tried to create a new account but the same problem appears.

  • HT3702 I only download things that are free from App Store, but sometimes it doesn't let me download something saying there is a problem with a previous purchase?  So why won't it let me??

    Why won't the App Store let me download things that are free, just because I don't have money on my card sometimes, it's free so I just don't get it??

    You can try to make a new account on iTunes Store if you didnt have yet.
    I had the same problem with iTunes Store, the only thing you can do is to put some money on that credit card you are using with you account. iTunes Store already keeping some money for the last purchase you made you can see all info on the Account option and then Purchase history ...

  • Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

    OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    Details

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • My apps, photos etc on my iPad are only partially backing up on iCloud. Anybody know why? It's only backing up 1.7GB even though I have 13GB of stuff on it.

    My apps and everything on my iPad are only partially backing up to iCloud. It's only backing up 1.7 GB but I have 13GB of stuff on my iPad. I have 200GB of iCloud storage so I don't know what the issue is.

    Apps are not part of the backup. In app data is, but backing up the apps would be redundant as they can be re-downloaded from the store for free. Media (music, movies, podcasts, etc.) are also not part of the backup for the same reason.
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article What can I buy from the iTunes Store in my country?.
    Photos and videos on your iOS devices
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device.
    It doesn’t include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
