App Store collapse follow-up: developers can’t get compensation

In this week's "app-ocalypse" in the renewal, apple says that they have fixed in iOS and Mac to activate the application after the crash Bug, released new updates to the application of alternative to collapse.

But in the developer's eyes, they are more worried about is how to deal with those who have no fault, but because the accident and access a rating of the impact of a week. According to some developers say, their rating is not actually a week from iTunes App Store to delete, and only in the show was concealed up, but this argument seems to let people puzzled. Such as the development of the application of the document scanning Readdle company marketing manager Denys Zhadanov in her own blog just wrote:"Apple has decided to App Store delete all the damage to the application rating, because there are many users for application and anger are a collapse evaluation."

But in fact, App Store on many applications or have a rating, apple just let these application’s home page face reset. Although in the application's home page see these ratings, but as long as the users click on iTunes "version", you can see these are concealed rating.

The user can see several affected applications, as long as the simple remarks, down the page, you can see the number of negative comments. So, apple didn't completely remove a rating.

But apple still takes action on the one rating. Although the review of the text still exist, but these week rating will not affect the application of the average star, it sounds like apple has the effect of a week cancelled rating, but it can relieve a week for the average rating the influence of the examination.

How to tell what a rating because the collapse of the incident, apple will review user's iTunes two average points, the selection of user data and the latest version of history data average version. In the App Store, apple only according to initial version of the situation to show the history review, but when the application has five new reviews, they show only the latest version of the average. But another developers say the same resolution did not in the Mac App Store the announcement, he doubts that because apple iOS App Store take care of the first collapse events.

But in the treatment of the developers emotional problems, apple didn't take out some other appease action. Many developers said apple for the processing means of events that they "martyrdom", and this is also proved that sentence: Apple may not always don't make mistakes!
