While this does happen sometimes, the more expensive the app the higher the app rating (in general).
Free apps, people will download haphazardly and then delete, leading to many 1-star reviews.
With more expensive apps, people are much more likely to appreciate the app as they do the research before spending their money.
Source: taking a look at the App Store plus my own apps.
- bruceboughton 16y agoAlternatively, you could conclude that the difference is in the apps. 75%+ of free apps in the App Store are junk. Paid apps tend to be much higher quality offerings in my experience.
- glhaynes 16y agoThere might also be an effect of people wanting more badly to like the app and "deluding" themselves... if I pay $0.99 for an app, I don't care too much if it works or not, but if I pay $29.99 I'm going to want to like it for reasons of self-validation.
