Looks like I spoke too soon. The Aryan efficiency with which Apple runs their App Store has finally provided some positive results. Apparently, a rogue app developer, Molinker Inc, submitted over 40 fake five star reviews for their app called NightCam Pro. App Store bigwig Phil Schiller acted with swift and merciless action by not only removing the app in question, but also removing an additional 1900 apps created by Molinker. This is surely one of the few examples that Apples Third Reich approach to their app service actual carries some merit. An open source platform such as Android would probably not have acted as quickly to combat such an offense. Apple’s response to this event should raise a red flag to other app developers who are contemplating similar unethical practices. It is now perfectly clear that the hard fist of Apple will take the measures need to keep the App Store safe, efficient and socialist to the extreme.
