I like the idea, especially due to recent Glassdoor misbehavings, but the ultimate question still remains - how can we know we can trust this app? What makes it more trustworthy than Glassdoor?

Yeap, to be honest I just put that title to get more attention, but also I can say that is a crowdsourced list, and I'm not getting paid by any company to submit any data. Unluckily I didn't find a way yet to keep the submission easy enough to keep people sharing their salaries but not too much to prevent trolls to post fake ones. Anyways I regularly cleaning the DB and removing fake submissions by hand, and some people are reporting them using the link at the bottom of the salary details Page. I'm open to ideas to make this site more trustworthy. I think I was to naive to think that people would understand that the only way to help each other is submitting their real salary.
Not operating a business around it makes it seem a little more trustworthy than say Glassdoor to me personally. Then again, you still rely entirely on whatever people enter.
