View Full Version : I hate how the iPhone app store rates items.

Has anyone else noticed how awful the app store's ranking system is? Top games are just games that were downloaded more than others -- has nothing to do with the reviews. I miss out on so many decent games because they're flooded by the junk apps that had a lot of downloads. Or at least that's how I THINK they rank them -- sometimes it seems just so completely random.

I wish there was a way to search by top-rated games. Or is there and I'm going to feel really stupid right now?

What you mean is you believe there rated by downloads which they should be rated by popularity I know angry birds is the best games online offline who cares. On the app store PL is rated 3 stars because of the people that keep rating 1 star saying OMG you have to pay $60 to play which you only need $15 but after you buy once you buy more..

I had a guy in PVP call me a "plat buying loser". He was lvl 18 and apparently, poor in real life.

Lol actually, I was so angry after update 1.5 with the insane prices on everything, that I updated my review to one star. But I just went and changed it now, bc I'm over it. I've managed to survive without any of those extras.
