Top review on iTunes is a 5 star praise from Evan Williams. It has a clear disclaimer at the top, but I can't decide if I think it's cool or cheesy for a well known investor to do that.

Wait until my mom posts her review. She's really adamant that she doesn't just love Lift because I'm working on it. I'm really excited to see the disclaimer on her review.

Funny that Ev ended up as a top review. He's not really just a well-known investor for us, he's basically a co-founder. We work in his office and he's been a huge supporter. I think he's being honest in that review and I've heard him say the same thing for a long time. Two apps changed his life: Lift and Uber. I guess he left Uber out of his review. But still, he does genuinely like Lift or he would have lost interest in working with us.

FWIW, I'm glad Ev reviewed it and I'm glad he left the disclaimer.
