Do these types of user reviews annoy you? 1. The Bargain- "If you change ________, I'll change my comment to 5 stars instead of 1." (Especially bad on Gameloft/ other big name games) 2. The Lazy- "OMG, this game is like, SOOO hard. It's like impossible. It's not even fun... " (Especially bad on Labyrinth 2/ Jet Car Stunts) 3. The Unclear- "Waste of money" or "Horrible" (especially bad on good-rated games) 4. The Cheap- "This is sooo not worth 10 dollars. More like 2 dollars." or even worse: "I don't like this game, it should be free." (Especially bad on Gameloft games/ cheap games for a dollar) 5. The Confused- e.g. "OMG, Pocket God is such a ripoff of Pocket Devil." (I'm serious, I actually saw this comment.) or "OMG, PapiJump sooo ripped off Doodle Jump" (even though Papi came months before). 6. The Spoiled: "The graphics suck..." on super-polished games. I've seen this comment on Avatar, NOVA, Zen Bound, and even the most-polished graphical game, Enviro-Bear 2010. 7. (by user one f jef)- The Pretentious Aficionado- "People whom I do not agree with or who do not know as much about iDevice video games as me are stupid and annoying and thus their arguments are invalid." These kinds of comments really bug me. Any other types you can add? Let's get a big list!

-Overused emoticons- when a person puts pretty much nothing other than a ton of emoticons and then a word like FUN or CRAP and then more emoticons...
And of course, if a dev adds ________ they never actually come back to update the rating. A variant of this is "If you add feature X I'll give you more stars". Meanwhile, feature X is already in the app. Then of course you have the gushingly positive reviewers that leave 1 star. I especially enjoy those. Personally I don't read comments any more - it's pointless. I prefer getting feedback in a forum or email, where I at least have a chance to reply.
People who want the developper to do things that are highly impossible, example: All-in-one Gamebox: This is a great app and has a lot of games in it, can you guys add the game Monster Trucks Nitro please? *emoticon, emoticon, emoticon*.
general price moaning - either buy it or dont but please dont comment all comments and moaning about open feint and whatever the rest of the leaderboard crap is flavour of the month
I love the: omg! this game is so awesome, it would be cool if you could add twenty more weapons and better graphics and change the controls and make there be bosses and like, these enemies with laser swords and 3 times the levels but it's good anyways lolo
Oh yeah, the people that give the game 5 Stars and are like "THIS GAME IS AWESOME BUT THE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE SO IT'S ALMOST UNPLAYABLE!!!!!!" and use all caps to annoy us all. And as always, the people who say the game would be awesome if they completely changed the game. For example, if you were reviewing a game like Firetop Mountain: "This game would be awesome if they added a first person mode, an actual moving screen so you can see what's going on, fight with buttons instead of dice, and guns and terrorists instead of swords and monsters!!!" Yeah, go ahead, ask for them to turn Firetop Mountain into Modern Warfare 2. It's going to happen just because you asked for it in an iTunes review. And last but not least, the reviews that have NOTHING to do with the game. "OMG OMG I LOVE WATCHING TV!!!!!" *1 star*
Oh yes, and the "Repeat Offender"- Illegal over-used vowels. "This is like sooooo bad. the first one was soooo much better" And how could I forget? The Infamous.... Caps Lock Man! "I JUST PLAYED THIS GAME AND IT SUCKS." Plus, the stupid and desperate "Whiny Refund Guy!" "I hate this game, you don't even do anything. I want a refund."
Or the clearly blatant shilling tactic: "By Sally/Bob/Joe/John/etc. A./B./C./D./etc. This game is so great! You should buy this game right now, along with every other game by (insert developer here)!"
How many of us read reviews? Seriously! I do only whn I want to read some pretty dumb lines... Forums ARE the best place to DISCUSS or Demand features (We have quite a few Active devs around ) Back to topic.... Yes.. they are annoying
