Rating own app..

[LinQsta]

Hi guys,

Obviously I know I can rate my own app (and not necessarily write a review) but is it right to?

If the people running for public office can vote for themselves, then I think developers can give themselves 5 stars

I never rated mine. You'll only rate it in your country anyway.

I once got an email from Apple suggesting I rate my own App in response to a review deletion request. They refused to delete a factually wrong review but told me I could instead review the app myself....

Well, of course you can rate your app. But I wouldn't write a review, just because that it is too obvious when a review is written by the dev.

Yes agreed, rate but not review is what I've gone with.

Maybe Apple should hard code one 5 star review for every app, save developers time as a bit of a gimme

I personally have never put a rating on one of my own apps.

Just don't use "Greatest game ever!" In the review, and you will be ok.

The way I see it, rating your own app wont make that much of a difference anyway. I did some for my earlier apps, thing is, eventually you get your 5, and then maybe 10, then maybe more after that. Your app will naturally get to its "real" average rating, and your one rating you did yourself at the start wont make much of a difference anyway.
