Developers need their apps for the iPhone to get noticed if they’re going to have any chance of catching on. With the flood of stuff hitting the market lately there’s little chance of standing out. Therefore many turn to any number of iPhone app review sites which feature submission forms developers can use to get their app reviewed.
We’ve tried that also.
I was a little surprised by the response from one site, a well known site. They requested that we pay 50 dollars to get our app reviewed. This fee would “expedite” the process and ensure we get a review. Yet no where on their web site do they disclose that they’re get paid per review.
We didn’t pay and our app didn’t get reviewed.
It seems the opportunists have setup shop. So much for ethical reporting.
