    I thought reddit killed third party apps? Or are you paying the $10,000,000 per month or whatever it is?

      It just scrapes for data, you can’t log in, post, or comment so no need to use the API

      Or recipe reviews.

      “I didn’t have flour, so I substituted lard. I also didn’t have sugar, so I substituted salted cod. Worst cake ever. 1 star.”

      I read somewhere that the best places to eat are Yelp 2 star places where the reviewer whines about service. It suggests the reviewer wanted to give a 1 star review because they were mad but had to concede that the food was good, hence 2 stars.

    I hope there’s a way to have the review removed for being irrelevant. I love your app btw, please keep it up. The only issue that’s kinda annoying right now is that I lose my place in the feed when I swipe back out from a post.

      Probably. I have no experience with the Google Play Store end of things, but we’ve gotten non-reviews written by crackpots removed from our Google Business profile by just pointing out to Google that they were either off topic or from someone who we could not identify in any of our records as being a person who actually did business with us.

      For example, there was one guy who went around copy-pasting the same one star rant to seemingly every retail business in the city whining about mask requirements during COVID, which didn’t have jack monkey squat do to with us and was in fact a state government mandate that we did not control. As a public business we have to comply with the law. Google took that one down when we reported it, although I still see examples of the same screed from the same guy attached to other businesses who apparently didn’t have the wherewithal to complain.

      I imagine “app that serves third party content the author doesn’t control and reviewer is complaining about the content not the app” is a situation that is very well understood at Google. Whether or not you can make them give a shit is a different question…

    You’re responding to a Steve sock puppet account. It might not be him on the other end, likely it isn’t, but it’s his. He wants all the money and doesn’t like to share because he’s a greedy little pigboy.
