There are a lot of spam reviews in China mainland Garmin CIQ store, can CIQ team delete it?

Hi,

I noticed that there are a lot of 5-star spam reviews under some apps.  The reviews are all the same whose content are a purchasing ad(they get paid from the users and pay to the developers and get intermidiate profit).

Report inpropriate doesn't work at all.

This does harm to the rank list. The real hardworking developers will be pushed out of the list cuz of less reviews

Can you clean them?

You can just check all of these in apps.garmin.cn

  • I must say I hardly look at the review content on apps.garmin.cn (why look if you can't reply anyway). Garmin should either provide a way to reply or to integrate the chinese reviews in the main store database (but the latter is probably not allowed)

    As to your remark there is indeed lots of spam, I don't think cleaning will really help, probably a filter to reject reviews containing WeChat or the target WeChat group should probably work better, as that is what to seems to be promoted.

  • Yes,the site apps.garmin.cn is just a branch of apps.garmin.com. And I find the data is isolated totally which means the download count/reviews/app ranking are all in China and won;t be synced back to .com domain. The current status is due to China Network Security Law 

  • The developer self-confession

    All spam comments have been actively deleted .I have been helping Chinese users solve the intractable problems of watch usage. And China can't use PayPal, I help users to complete the unlocking between developers, and has no intention of affecting the ranking system. It's all restored now.

    为用户答疑解惑,向国外开发者代购,都没有问题,但大量广告review会扰乱社区正常秩序,开发者已第一时间清除,排名已经恢复。可以原谅。

    但是像微信公众号“天气开发”这种不思悔改的,恰烂钱的,所有的中国开发者应该共同抵制。

  • * the wechat refrences are not from mashake (unless I'm mistaken).

    * If there would be an agreement between the developer and the wechat group interparty there would be no need to advertise it in the review comments. 

    * Imho it' s a money making model for the wechat interparty.

    * Garmin should set up a filter to automatically delete future references to the wechat group

  • 外国开发者很难理解中国的这个微信里的公众化这种做法,他们从没见过。但是佳明中国区相关人员总知道吧!而且佳明应用商店中国区大陆区,还装模作样地弄过标记为不合适 按钮,说如果佳明审核不合适,会拿掉这些评论,然而,佳明没有一次这样做过。也就是装装样子而已。

  • 我看根本没人看中国的应用商店审核。中国的应用商店的数据是单独存储的。

  • 绝对是这样,对中国大陆应付一下就行了

  • The spam reviews just say "if you search my channel in wechat, you can get an OWM key for free", although which is free all the time. Most Chinese users cannot get a key from OWM website cuz of GFW, they even are unable to pass google's CAPTCHA. There are only wechat related texts rather than any link. So maybe a keyword filtering is a workaround.

    I don't think ciq team will spare any efforts in ciq store China mainland(If ciq team see this someday, please correct me and teach me a lesson with your actions.)

  • I have my doubts

    please also use English when you write in this forum, it's part of the forum rules.
