Leave an App Review 5
by Adam Marks Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:34 am EDT
When you go to purchase an app from the App Catalog, do you usually read the reviews first to determine if the app is worth the price? Well, if you find other's reviews helpful, you should be sure to leave your own reviews for the apps that you have purchased or downloaded. It only takes a few moments to rate and write up a review, and other users (and the developers) will appreciate it.
There are a few different ways to access the screen to leave a review, and remember that you need to have purchased or downloaded the app to be eligible.
- On any webOS device from the original Pre on webOS 1.4.5 to the TouchPad on webOS 3.x, you can load up the app in the App Catalog and then find the Reviews section.
- -- On phones, you then need to tap the "Reviews" button on the right-side of the screen, followed by the "Review" button on the bottom-left (note that the button will say "Update" if you have already left a review.
- -- On the TouchPad, a review section is always visible below the app description. Once you rate the number of stars for the app, a text field will be displayed for you to write your review
- To find a list of installed apps in webOS 1.x, open up the App Catalog and press the shopping bag icon on the bottom-right. Then just tap an app to be brought to the app description page and follow the directions above.
- To get to the list of installed apps on webOS 2.x or 3.x, you need to load up the "Software Manager" app. Them, you can tap on any app to see a App summary screen that has, among other things, a "Review App" button that will give you instant access to leave a review
Now, go leave some reviews for your apps!

As a developer, just a couple of things to help create useful reviews:
-Keep in mind that while the developer can read reviews, they really can't reply to specific entries. If you have a bug or feature to report, I'd recommend that you contact the developer first. This will increase the likelihood of it actually being fixed or implemented.
-If the developer does add a feature or bug fix, please update your review. Users making a decision on something that's been fixed or updated, but not reflected in a review, isn't all that helpful.
-If an application won't install, it's NOT an issue with the application. Sorry, but the framework for installation is up to HP and your device, even if it is just happening for a specific application. HP does have information about this on their support pages.
I stopped leaving reviews when I noticed that my reviews disappear from time to time. What's the point of writing a review only to have it disappear?
Information given is incorrect. You cannot review an app from the App Catalog - only from the Software Manager utility. Plus you must have the app you want to review installed or you cannot review it. I discovered this by purchasing a game called Puzzle Sphere which refused to install on my Touchpad. My support requests were ignored, both by the developer and by HP. When I tried to leave a review about my experience, I was not able to do so. Needless to say, this makes me reluctant to purchase any more apps. I'd file a chargeback with my credit card company, but it's not worth the effort for $1.00.
oh boy! Free stuff. I've been through Atlantis Sky Patrol 5 times already- Ready for something new
don't forget homebrewed apps. All aps installed will show in preware or
if the app store is down n you need a quick way to see what you have (n a quick way to delete it if you see one you meant to unload by touching the app title here) is
-tap launcher button
-tap the upper left corner or screen(over word launcher) to get a dropdown menu
-tap list aps
any of you troll-tards feel free to leave a comment on how we ALL already knew this n will never forget this fact. I enjoy ur b.s.........
