App Store reviews now require purchase - And that’s a good thing!

by Eating Apple on October 5, 2008

Want to write an App Store review on that shiny new game? Well now Apple is making it so that you have to actually purchase the damn thing first. What are they thinking!? Nah, I’m kidding, we don’t see why this wasn’t included from day one; it’s pretty strange, actually.

To be honest, we were getting pretty damn tired of seeing the same reviews from people that disagreed with an app’s functionality just based on its description or what they’d heard, or even worse, some people were reviewing just to “balance out” other reviews they deemed unfair. And that was not good. Nope.

But now all of this has changed. For the good. Thank you, Steve.
