What’s with the flood of fake reviews on the Discourse iPhone app today? Just started my trial and it ain’t a good look.

My only guess is that by reviewing legitimate apps it makes your bogus reviews seem more credible.

Or maybe it’s just non-native speakers who really love the app.

Most review scammers don’t just bombard the app of their clients, that would be too easy to track. It’s common practice sadly. Apple doesn’t allow developers to remove negative reviews, would be surprised if you can eliminate positive ones.
