AppStore Comment Feedback

I remember seeing a question asking to be able to respond to reviews on the Appstore, but I can't find the thread now.

Do we know if this feature will become available?

That would be really helpful. Many people ask questions in their comments or rate a data field bad, because the think its a widget/app.

i grew tired of the comments despite asking users to come here instead.
So.. Now I ignore the comments unless it comes here.

This is still in the app store team's backlog. I was just speaking to AlphaMonkey about this last week, and we both believe that this kind of feature needs to be upped in priority.

We have suggested making a way for users to contact developers directly and allow developers to reply to those users without exposing developer contact information in the store. While we aren't able to set the development priorities for the app store team, we can push for things we believe are important. We'll get this communicated to the store team--thanks!
