The marketing website totally sold me on it, but as soon as I opened the App Store and saw that it's only 3.9 stars I decided I don't really want to pay for it. The only reason I bother to start using apps under 4.1 stars is if I have no choice. 3.9 stars hints that there is a major problem with the app that the developers haven't addressed. Meanwhile, the similar app Textastic has 4.8 stars.

My 4.8 star rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) had 1 stars on the Germany store for a long time, because one guy gave a 1-star "App is terrible. It isn't working." review.

I responded as soon as I noticed the review (App Store doesn't notify me for some reason) and the reviewer never responded back. The issue was most likely on his side, because some keyboards send the wrong Command event (Left instead of Right)

Screenshot (it has 4.3 stars now in Germany, thankfully because of other 5 star reviews): https://cln.sh/mmWPd8

Just trying to say that you shouldn't put too much price on the reviews. A lot of the most vocal reviewers are those that don't understand what the app should do and give it 1-3 stars because they think they were robbed when the app doesn't do what they expected.

They don't even know that they can ask for a refund within 14-days of the purchase and nothing is lost.

Not sure if this is satire or not

In other words, you only support apps that bothered to pay for good reviews

Would it not be better to just read the low score reviews instead and decide then if those apply to you?

On the Norwegian store it's got 4.3 stars.
