And how long until they start being deleted?

Same for the App Store for the last 3 weeks or so.

Mobile dev here - I gave it half a dozen one stars on both Google Play and iOS

Reddit is 100% already crying to Google about "review brigading" and will get almost every 1star review since the API changes removed. Money looks out for money.

There was a post about the large number of recent one-word five-star reviews recently. I suspect they don't want Google looking too closely at the legitimacy of their reviews.

Didn't think about that! Thank you! Review left.

Most people who've used the app know it's technically challenged. One star is more than it deserves in my opinion.

The official reddit app is a piece of shit spyware. Just watch all the metrics that fly back to home base when your using it.

I can't review it for some reason lol.

Oh. Hey, thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten to place a review for this product, but I feel it's the responsible thing to do.

Wondering if dowloading it just to give 1 star review does more harm than good
