That usually means that the advertising is not attracting the right kind of customer.

Nope. It often means users are too reflexive to not figure out something in one second and leave one star review. And it's about survival in the app stores where everyone else has 4+ rating and few of them are certainly bots.

App stores are a form of advertising which attracts these "reflexive" customers.
