I'm the other poster, and I believe you weren't Technically Lying (http://lesswrong.com/lw/11y/not_technically_lying/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/11y/not_technically_lying/) but why did you bring up that you hadn't used the driving directions? Maybe this had nothing to do with deceiving people into thinking you weren't associated with the product but I find it doubtful. A more honest self-review (if this really is accepted practice on iPhone) would just say why you think your product is good. It seems you're skating a little over the edge at best.

I don't think there are hairs to be split here. It's going to be deceptive as long as I don't announce who I am in the review. It occurs to me that signing the review might be the most effective thing to do - at least I would be unique.
