Comments on: So, you got a bad review? http://www.zx81.org.uk/computing/opinion/so-you-got-a-bad-review.html Photography, opinions and other random ramblings by Stephen Darlington Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:20:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jesper http://www.zx81.org.uk/computing/opinion/so-you-got-a-bad-review.html/comment-page-1/#comment-45915 Jesper Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:03:41 +0000 http://www.zx81.org.uk/computing/opinion/so-you-got-a-bad-review.html#comment-45915 I'd just like to note that the intent of my post wasn't to invalidate Daniel Jalkut's post. By and large I agree with it. However, I wanted to be frank about one of the reasons why I don't demand money for any of my applications; I intended it as documentation of my own reasoning, not necessarily as advice. I believe in "reviewing transparency": the fact that people review your software should ideally only serve to help the customer. A good feature request is a good feature request regardless of if a reviewer made it or not. Mostly, this works, since reviewers are actual users and since, for software that people actually use, it's hard to pervert honest opinion.
