Just to head off a lot of confusion stirring on the net about this: The person who posted the picture is claiming this woman is doing app ratings, not some outsourced App Store submitted app approval process.
- waterlooalex 12y agoAh interesting, as in: she's the person who rates your app if you "buy" some ratings?
- giarc 12y agoYes. It's funny because everyone knows this has been going on forever, but I guess once they put a picture to it, everyone gets up in arms.

- m3rc 12y agoAnd I bet if you wanted she could rate your competitor's apps as well
- _rpd 12y agoI'm pretty sure a friend's app got a bad rating when he declined to sign up for a service like this.
- bduerst 12y agoHow did that go down? You would think it would be easier to just not talk to someone who solicits this.
- _rpd 12y agoMy understanding is that he got dozens of offers to help promote his app. Some were blatant buy-a-download - just to gain app store rank - some were less blatant, others were more traditional buy-a-targeted-clickthrough. It can be difficult to tell at first glance.
- mikeash 12y agoThanks, that does indeed help head off confusion. I was thinking age ratings, but those are self-reported, and any checking on Apple's end is just part of the overall review process.
- valevk 12y agoBut when you look closely, the screens show different images. Could it be that she is farming some in-game accounts to higher levels? Or dating?
- arb99 12y agoOr it could be ad click fraud
