Looks like they’re paying for fake reviews.
How could you possibly doubt the word of uh… Jefferey Tromp and his good friend Romaine.
Those look so fake
I’m interested in the second one shown. It’s 5 stars but they’re sorry it doesn’t work…?
This is the way
The official app deserves 1-star regardless of the API shutdown. Even Jerboa and other Lemmy apps in their extremely buggy alpha state have a better user experience than the official Reddit app.
Thanks for reminding me to actually go give it its 1-star on Google Play!
Like honestly I wouldn’t be too mad if the official app was actually good, but it’s basically unusable.
After seeing this post, I went to the play store to give my 1 star review. Then I saw that I already put 1 star back in 2017 stating that the app is crap xD
Good Riddance.
The last major time something like this happened was with the Robinhood trading app. Not sure about iOS, but Google very helpfully declared that negative reviews made during a major scandal are illegitimate and removed them all, artifically bringing the app ratings back up. So keep an eye out for if Reddit’s ratings suddenly recovers on Google.
