IPhone app review shakedown
- gizmo 17y agoMaybe I'm missing something here, but where's the shakedown? 1. It's $20. In every company I know you can give and accept $20 gifts from clients and customers without it being considered a bribe. 2. Paying $20 to have a link to the app store at the bottom of a review is good value for money. It will encourage impulse purchases, and it doesn't cost the review site anything. 3. The email explicitly states that the $20 don't affect the review process. So you're not paying for a positive review. Why would the review site risk their reputation by asking for $20 bribes? 4. You can just say "no thanks", so it's not a shakedown. Geez, people.
