If you will open Mac AppStore, go to the apps mentioned and click on a 5 star review for example the one given by the username "HerbertTFoulk" you will notice that this user is reviewing both apps and other apps only with 5 stars reviews. After a closer look at this system the guys who has this platform are simply promoting your app on their platform and are paying the users who are downloading and reviewing your app (recommending you to review it with 4 or 5 stars.

They used a pay for review system provided by the (BestReviewApp). Scheme 2 noticed on many developers such as Solaz Dazen Srl or Pocket Bits LLC both of this developers are selling "Antivirus" and "BitMedic Antivirus" apps. In this days he is creating lots of Apple AppStore usernames and he downloads the app - because it is for FREE.Īfter he has lots of AppStore usernames with his app downloaded he is starting to self-review his app with 5 stars reviews - as far as I noticed he is reviewing not more than 3-4 5 star reviews per day.
BITMEDIC ANTIVIRUS MAC REVIEW FOR FREE
When he is launching the app or update he is offering the so called "security app" for FREE for a few days. I am the only one who is seeing that something is really "fishy" here?) Scheme 1 noticed on the developer named: YONGMING ZHANG (btw this guy contacted me after I posted on other forum and told me: "We are not manipulating the review system" YEAH right, have a look on the AppStore with search adware how is possible that among 7-8 adware apps only YOUR app has 100+ reviews. So far so good, if someone wants to pay to clean the browser it is not a problem, but what I also noticed is that most of the developers are using, pay attention, a system to self-review their apps using and the scheme they are using is pretty simple: They are just cleaning the browser cache and restoring your browser, things that you can do easy without paying. This caught my attention since I know that in order to provide a great product that will protect the Mac for sure against malware you must have a good team in order to collect and extract malware signatures.Īdware Doctor - Remove adware malware blah blah blahĪdware Removal - Remove adware malware blah blah blahĪntivirus.this is just an example and the list can continueĪre not even scanning for malware/adware. Recently while I was surfing on the Mac AppStore I noticed a high growth of the app such as adware removal, adware cleaner, adware doctor and antivirus.
