Ask HN: Is there anything you can do against Play store 1 star review attack?

2 pointsby maxencecornetalmost 5 years ago
I&#x27;ve built an app in a highly competitive market, and everytime my app rise to +4 stars, we get around 5 to 7 1 star reviews the same day - It&#x27;s always a variant of the 2 same messages: &quot;Beware, this app is a scam&quot; - &quot;the developer hacks your data&quot;<p>I always &quot;report as spam&quot; on the Play store, but Google has never removed any of the reviews. I&#x27;m kinda desperate, it takes a lot of time to get genuine reviews, and only one attack of the kind to crash below the 3.5 mark<p>And ofc, as the review system is different on Apple, my rating on the App store is 4.5, which I&#x27;m really happy about<p>Any tricks against 1 star reviews attack ? Is there anything to do or should I just accept it ?<p>Original question on reddit: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;reactnative&#x2F;comments&#x2F;goludt&#x2F;is_there_anything_you_can_do_against_play_store_1&#x2F;
