@SegaBoy - totally agree. It has to be constructive and honest, otherwise we’ll be shooting ourselves in the foot in all respects. [import]uid: 212232 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138265[/import]
@SegaBoy I agree too. It is hard to NOT give someone 5 stars if they already gave your app 5 stars! I am guilty of that even so I know better. I think in the future I will be frank from the start that I will only 5 stars to extremely well made app (in my point of view of course) and everything else will get 4 stars. If the app need work then I will not give 3 or less stars but contact the developer and make comments to him/her directly.
I think you right that we will shoot our self in the foot if everybody 5 stars…

Can someone accept my request to join the group? I sent it a couple a days ago, name is Jón Helgi.
Thanks! [import]uid: 65415 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138591[/import]
Done. [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138598[/import]
@beckslash, just out of interest - did you do anything about this idea? Sounds quite interesting. [import]uid: 212232 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138174[/import]
The facbook group has done a pretty good job of getting some reviews, but it needs to reach a critical mass. The more people that join and participate the better it will be.

@Rob Miracle - thank you. And are you talking about some particular Facebook Group or just a concept of facebook groups that have done a good job? [import]uid: 212232 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138247[/import]
@MrYeti - this is the group in question, currently at 200 users

I started the following thread back in early 2012
http://developer.coronalabs.com/forum/2012/04/02/corona-indie-developers-united
because I was dismayed that even great app made with Corona were launching with no reviews whatsoever. And I that a shame. I know it still happens because people are not aware of the Facebook group. With 200k (I am sure all not yet subscribers) Corona developers we should have 1000’s of members. I guess we did not do a good enough job to promote the review group. Hopefully we will do better in 2013!
So yes, I have to agree with Rob that unfortunately we did not (yet) reach critical mass.

Thanks a lot! Just sent the request. Kind regards, R. [import]uid: 212232 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138255[/import]
Think this is a great idea in concept - however as mentioned above, we need to make sure we’re not all giving each other 5 Stars.
If we can ensure the integrity of the group (constructive feedback, appropriate review scores, etc…) along with hitting a reasonable number of people then I can only see this as a good thing. [import]uid: 33275 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 138262[/import]

Great Idea. I’d be willing to help out as well. In the mean time I just requested to join the facebook group as well. [import]uid: 203597 topic_id: 29186 reply_id: 145498[/import]
