Finally. The ratings on the App Store used to be kind of a joke. First anyone could rate any app. Apple then restricted the ratings to someone who had actually bought the app. Now we get a Amazon style breakdown of the number of people who rated each star.
I like it. There are always the disgruntled users who rate 1 star without understanding or really reviewing the app. This artificially pulls down the ratings for quality apps. Now we can see and remove such reviews.
I find it interesting how the reviews are subcategorized into versions. I don't know if it is that important to rate each version. Unless an update breaks the app, it should theoretically only get better.
What I really would like to see is a way to demo the apps. Right now publishers revert to releasing "Lite" free versions. This is clunky and should be addressed. With in game transactions in version 3.0 coming, maybe you could download the full game for free and then buy it if you want to go past a certain level.
