How Does Google Play Value Reviews

Hi developers,

Reviews are one of the most valuable things your app can get to rise in the ranks. But, are the reviews all the same?

In a recent study, I read that Google Play doesn’t value all the reviews in the same way. Reviews that come from “one-time users” won’t really be valuable and taken into criteria, as much as a review from an active user.

This said, I would like to focus the attention to the places where you can buy and exchange fake reviews. Let me tell you to don’t ask too much for reviews from people that you know it will only review your app because you asked or gave something in return. Sometimes it will only harm your credibility.

Despite of avoiding the negative effects of the fake reviews, this won’t really make your path easier to promote your app and won’t be enough. You’re still needing reviews to boost it. Here’s my suggestion: put your app here and we, members, will nicely review the ones that we like and will use. We all know how difficult it is to raise in Google Play ranks, and having a great app is far from being enough. No one will dig deep enough to find it.

Hope to see great apps here!

I’ll start with my app (of course). Use this template to put yours:

Reviews that come from “one-time users” won’t really be valuable and taken into criteria, as much as a review from an active user.
