The app review process is never going to be perfect.
There are 2+ million apps which assuming average 10 updates over their lifetime = 20+ million reviews. Of course there are going to be mistakes, differences in interpetation between reviewers and edge cases.
But situations like this show exactly why a review process is useful. A keyboard app with network access is something that deserves a lot of scrutiny.
- tremon 5y agoIt doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to be accountable. That means the rules must be clearly stated and unambiguous, the reviews should strive to give consistent results, a rejection should be comprehensive and actionable, and there must be an independent appeals process. From what I gather, both Apple and Google are failing at consistency, comprehensiveness, transparency, and the appeal process.
- 8note 5y agoDoes it actually need to be accountable to the app developers? Both Google and apple seem to do fine without that accountability
