There is just as much possibility of reviews being skewed (especially by business owners) as there is on App World.

I think there should be a fix on the App World where you cannot review an application until you have downloaded and installed it.

When I leave reviews on the App World I take the time to write full, concise reviews. Most reviews I see are ‘ya its good u should get it.’

I also agree that competition can skew the reviews easily, so something definitely needs to be done to prevent that.

The App World is a neat new addition, however, if left unchecked can become a jungle like an unfiltered internet.
