Apple puts an end to dishonest iPhone developers
Posted by: Phat^Trance in iPhone, iPhone Apps
Recently, Apple has taken a series of actions against developers who do not play along the App store lines. The latest example involves a developer who calls himself Molinker. He put up more than 1000 applications on the App Store, almost overnight. The fun part is that none of the apps were of high quality, yet they received five stars in scores from almost all users.
It was remarkable that all the positive reviews appeared within a few hours after the apps were launched, which made competitive developers suspicious and start thinking Molinker is cheating. They contacted Apple and the rest is history.
Apple found out that Molinker hired a staff of people who had the sole task of providing good reviews (5 starts) to his apps. In return for the good reviews Molinker gave the users free promo codes for the apps.
Apple’s response was to immediately remove all Molinkers programs from the App Store
