App reviews and ratings

Hello I was just thinking would anyone be interested in reviewing each others apps that are on the appstore and rating them. I think this could be beneficial for us buzztouchers to get rating for our apps fast especially right after they are released. I was thinking for every one of your apps I rate you rate of mine. Any thoughts?

There is a lot of mutual camaraderie from the BT users Feraco, so we're all thinking alike! Basically, if it's a free app, I'm there with bells and whistles. If it's a paid app, it really depends on if I'm actually going to use it, lol! Having 'not' published my first app yet (but oh so close) I 'understand' there are a certain number of 'discount' (read:free) codes provided with your Apple App Store submission, and usually a few of those are posted here in the forums to give other BT'ers a chance to download and review. It's a great idea, and I'm on board! Cheers! -- Smug

Well I would make all my apps free for the day that we would be reviewing them. Maybe having a app review day or party where we can exchange reviews.

That's not a bad idea! P.S. Users who download an app through promo codes cannot rate & review an app. Nicholas

We can choose a day to make your apps free. Then we can exchange reviews. How many reviews do you need so that it shows the average ratings on the AppStore? I have some apps that have 5 ratings and it says not enough ratings to show average ratings. Lets see how many people are interested. Then we can set a day to do this.

5 is usually the magic number from my experiences. However, the 5 reviews have to be from the same country (i.e. 5 reviews from Canada would appear in the Canadian "version" of the App Store).
