Please vote on all OpenStore apps that you install on UT!

Not only that, but reviews are forever, while bugs can be fixed. The review would then remain and give a false impression of the current state of affairs.

Anyone can update his review in the OpenStore when a commented issue is fixed.

Nexus 4. Signed up a while back so I signed in... but I can't rate anything!

-
@opolork That's right, but it would also be interesting for voters to go to the repositories (github or gitlab, most often) to see if an issue is not already open before giving a sharp criticism.
-
@domubpkm Yeah but I would guess only 1% does that
I think it's fine to review asbugif the app is really buggy and unusable but it there are a couple of bugs, it's better to file them in their repo. -
@opolork Is there a way to follow up with people who leave comments (and don't report issues or email the developer)?
-
@kugiigi Good point. :thumbs_up:
-
@arubislander It'd be great if the reviews had date stamps.
-
@domubpkm +1
-
@totalrando Did you scroll down and click on the right hand part with reviews?
How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS
-
@domubpkm Fair enough.
-
@kugiigi Indeed.
-
@boogaloo Sorry, I don't know.
-
I would be happy to comment on applications if there was an easy way to do so, however Github and Gitlab are incomprehensible labyrinths to me.
-
@opolork They do already. Not sure if they're updated when the review was edited though.
@cliffcoggin It's simple to create accounts in Github and Gitlab. You don't need to understand how it works for developers if you are not. This way, you can also help the developers for logging, confirming and investigating issues.
-
@cliffcoggin You can just leave a comment on the https://open-store.io app instead.
-
@kugiigi Under the 'Reviews' section, I see comments but no dates.
-
@opolork You must ALSO have a Github or Gitlab account to review an app on the OpenStore !
-
@domubpkm Hi. No, as I stated in my 1st post - you can log in via a GitHub/GitLab/Ubuntu One account. I went the Ubuntu One account route.
-
@opolork Right, you can also use an Ubuntu One account ! But we must have an account (Github or Gitlab or Ubuntu One as you said) which is the mandatory bridge to review an app.
