i wonder if there will be a possibility in the future where the OS runs app telemetry, looks at things like how long a user spends on an app, parts of the app that the user clicks on, looks at, the text and non-text elements of the app, and then applies a statistical model to determine quality and hence rating of the app. that could obviate the need for "human rating" which is inherently gamable.
- throwaway2048 7y agoNot sure why you think that isn't game-able as well, they already use massive racks of real phones. Ill sit out being spyed on even more intensively in the name of "telemetry" thanks.
- broth 7y agoI feel like this approach would eventually become gamed since you could still have human participants act as engaged users.

The secret weapon is Heap Analytics, which allows define data points collection on the fly without recompile the app and republish with hard-coded predefined event hooks.
- nitwit005 7y agoIt might up the costs, but you can always record the behavior of real humans and replay it with randomization elements. You'd can fairly easily fake a bunch of engaged people.
