Ratings and Reviews on app stores can't be trusted

[Salauddin1994]

Ratings and reviews in the app Store are unreliable causing many newcomers to have problems google doesn’t remove everything through fake applications and you won’t find the source of most apps in the play store the download link of the source code is given in the description of the open source apps. All other apps will be allowed to be used for free or for a small fee but the source of an app is the developer's own property there will be no interference from you.

Hello guys. Every business endeavours to have this own site and application because it increases sales. So, the first step for it is to find a good software development company which is able to embody your thoughts into the application. I bet it's hard to find

You had Been tagged for this one

I never really trust those ratings and reviews since it could be bias some are getting paid to write good reviews ang give out good ratings to some apps,
While others are destroying it or giving out poor rating even if the app or project is good.

I think it's important to look at the quantity and quality of these reviews. The more there are, the less likely they are fake!

I don't know if it is like that on App Store too but I agree with you on Play Store. There are really many apps that fake comments are distinguished easily in the comments below. We should really be careful before downloading an app. If you don't trust it fully, I don't recommend using it. They can access your private things after giving some permissions to the app and do things that you wouldn't like.

But with most recent android versions you can edit the app permissions by entering into app management setting so you just need to have a closer look at the given permissions to unknown apps and if it is having any permission which is totally unnecessary to the utility of the app then you can consider it as spyware.

I sometimes wonder why the reviewers don't provide evidences to backup their claims/votes. Everyone can just claim whatever they want without a way to verify the claims.
I guess the evidences could be sourced/provided through a fraud-proof manner else this could also be abused.   Maybe one of the ways to do this is to have a feature on the app store to record user's device screen live while testing apps, and automatically upload the recording on the store's review section. Reviewers can then be judged based on the evidences they provide.
