[Q] My app on play store is being spammed with 1 star rating continuously - General Questions and Answers

My app on play store is being spammed with 1 star rating continuously. I don't know why. I have not received any crash reports. I have not received any kind of complaints from users. I don't know what's the reason. Only one person who voted 1 star has posted a review. After that all are spams. It all started on May 3rd, 2013.
Please guide me what to do.
Since this app is very much domain specific and is a college app made by me to keep students informed about latest news.
Please help. I would accept 1 star ratings only if i actually deserved.
P.S - Check the attachment image.
I am new here and i can't post outside links. So please look up in google play store for "ITM University". Thanks.
Any kind of help would be appreciated as there is no response from google. They are not doing anything for spam control.

I think this thread is COMPLETELY off-topic for this forum.
It reeks of advertising your blog, and nothing else.

I'm sorry if that's how you feel, I thought I was helping out the community by providing legit access to paid apps and games, which might other wise be stolen. From there people who like the apps will spread word to their friends, generating much more income in theory.
Why don't hold the giveaway here on xda? Seems like you want to generate traffic to your blog and harvest email addresses. You didn't even describe how winners are selected.
I only require emails to contact them if they've won. I don't use the emails for anything else.
Winners are selected at random, I posted that in the initial giveaway and forgot to put it in the second. I use random.org to generate a winner.
As for posting this on XDA, I use the blog because I don't always have apps to giveaway, so in the meantime I update it with other articles. This takes some time and energy on my part as well, corresponding with dozens of developers trying to work out some deal, so yes I do hope it generates traffic.
Your not actually giving them away,people need to win them..the title is misleading.
No, the apps are being given away, there are just limited copies available so it's only fair that the winner is choosen randomly.

Hello to you.
I wish you luck with this
But i have to say that it does not sit right with me when people here beg for "please rate 5 stars"
I think most people rate what they think your work is worth, leave them to it.
With that said, i do hope your work is good and people think it´s worth to rate 5

I'll review your app

Hey guys!
After launching my first android game I realized how hard it is to get decent reviews and exposure for your app. A lot of hard work goes into a app and I feels terrible to not get some sort of appreciation. For me feedback is the best form of appreciation because regardless of the feedback it tells me that the person took their time to look at my work.
XDA forums allows me to post my release whether I'm a new user or not and so that is why I decided I will give back to this community by checking your apps out, rating them, and also reviewing them. As android developers I feel we should help out each other in this way. So post away your app here with a google play link, App Name, and Package name and I will review and rate it ASAP...
If anyone here would also be interested in checking out my app and reviewing it that would be much appreciated but that is not requirement I'll do it regardless.
App Name: Pyramid Mover
App Link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ADP.pyramidmovers
Package Name: com.ADP.pyramidmovers
Thank you

[APP][4.0.3+] Riilo is in Beta, feedback is greatly appreciated

Hello ladies and gents,
We have developed Riilo, an app which (we hope) will create a new way of interaction between individuals. The idea is to allow anybody, to reach any location on Earth, and interact with people from that specific place.
For example, Riilo allows anyone, no matter where they are, to talk to people who are in Times Square, New York, or who pass by Times Square.
Similarly, Riilo enables one to interact with local people and find useful information, just by asking. For example, if one wonders whether the local groceries store still has a particular product, he/she can just ask people who are at the store right now.
We are in the very beginning and we need feedback on the concept, as well as the app itself. It would be greatly appreciated, if you joined Riilo Beta Community on Google Plus (just search Riilo Beta on g+). Once joined, please follow instructions on how to download the app from Google Play.
Our little app is quite easy to use too; here is how it goes (refer to the attached image):
1. The user on the left (with nexus 5) taps the map at the Eiffel Tower and asks what the fox says
2. People from around the Eiffel Tower can see the post
3. Somebody from around that location (the user with HTC on X) will reply to the post
This is how Riilo aims to bring the world closer together, by giving individuals the power to reach the entire World!
Many thanks to everybody who joined the Riilo Beta Community and even more thanks to those who installed the app, you are great!
Based on the feedback we received so far, we will be working over the weekend and will release an update late Sunday, or early next week.
More feedback would be even better, so we would be super happy if you wrote us what your thoughts are, on the concept and app in general.
You can do it here, on the community wall, or write to [email protected]

Bug found
The following bug has been reported by two users running KitKat:
After completing the "tutorial/introduction" a black activity is shown (see attached screenshot). Can anyone help reproduce this?
Many thanks!
Many thanks to all great people who downloaded the app!
We would very much appreciate it if you wrote us a couple of words saying what you think of the concept as well as the app.
You can do it here, on the community page (search for Riilo Beta on Google Plus) or send an email to [email protected]

New Update
A fresh update is now available on Google Play. We have fixed a few things and done minor improvements.
The NEW thing: on the map, you can now see some silhouettes. They are meant to show in which areas there are users or where users have been. As more and more users install the app, and the more the app is used, the more silhouettes will be shown on the map.
Nonetheless, you should still post to places that have no users shown on the map; even if the app shows there are no users in that place, people could still have the information you seek, and so they will be able to help.
If you have any questions or feedback, we would love to hear from you! :cyclops:
Riilo is published
I have now published Riilo on Google Play. You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riilo.main or just search for Riilo in Google Play.
Feedback is greatly appreciated!
If you like the concept and you think the app is worth it, maybe you can +1 the app on Google Play or perhaps even leave a nice review
Many thanks!
New Update
Riilo on Google Play just received an update. It contains a redesigned UI, as well as some optimizations and bug fixes.
Let me know what you guys think :cyclops:
This is a very interesting concept. I will have to look more into it soon

This is such a cool concept. Don't know if things functionality is in yet but the ability to send pictures to back and fourth would be awesome.

Unfortunately you cannot add images, videos or audio files yet. They will come, although it will take a while as it does require quite a lot of work.
Thanks for your suggestions :cyclops:

[Review exchange] I'll review your app on google store if you review mine.

This is quite a popular idea on other android developer forums and I thought I'd bring it here as well.
We all know how hard it is to get downloads these days, and how it's even harder to get reviews. Since there are a lot of us developers around here, we should try to help each other out.
Reviewing each other's apps is beneficial for us all, and it should help us get ahead in the google rankings.
Just post your link to google play/ link to facebook here and I'll rate 5 stars, give google +1 and facebook like and also keep your app installed for at least one month (I have a lot of free space on my sd card).
In return I ask that you do the same for my app. You should also ask me to use certain keywords in your review, as I am told this also helps with app store optimisation.
Ok, so my app link is [Moderator edit], my facebook page is [Moderator edit].
Please use the words "memory" and "attention" when you review my game.
Let's get this thread started .
EDIT: Just so you know I'm not lying, I've already rated quite a few apps 5 star without expecting compensation. You can check my posting history.
