The company came to these findings when developing its recently added “ Love Score” metric for app developers, which is aimed at helping publishers learn what customers really think about the apps they use, and which ones they truly “love.” When it came to the 100 apps with the absolute worst Reviewer Quality, 80% of them were on Android.

However, it’s probably fair to point out, too, that the iTunes App Store is still the marketplace where many developers choose to launch first, in an effort to establish some initial traction for their applications before porting those apps to Android – a process that can still be more challenging due to hardware and software fragmentation issues.Īlso of note, while iOS apps had more fake reviews than those on Android, it was the Android apps that were actually the “ worst” offenders, as determined by a metric Apptentive created in the pursuit of this analysis which it dubbed the “Reviewer Quality” Score. The company speculates that Google Play’s requirement of a Google+ user account could have helped diminish the fake reviews problem, because it requires a clearer notion of identity.
