Re:iOS and MacOS Developers Can Now Respond to Reviews

If you're getting 10 calls because all the apps updated at once, it's hardly one app's fault.
If it was an isolated incident sure. If someone cold calls me then I'm going to say "sorry, I'm not interested", but if you're getting 10 calls a day then the response changes. It's a constant problem and I'm willing to lash out at anyone I see making it worse.
As much as we blame it on the app store, we see similar behavior with subscriptions on a heap of websites.
> I mean I hate being nagged as much as the next guy but let's face it: the only reason these apps are begging for reviews is because Apple store discoverability sucks.
Or just not create apps if apple aren't creating a viable platform. It's not something that should be left up to the app developer or the users.
In fact, I'd rather app stores themselves were responsible for review prompts, it would provide better sampling.
