![]() If there was some automatic weight to showing well rated products then Got Friends would have nothing to worry about with these rubbish products flooding in. ![]() It has to evolve but seeing as they are still taking (up to and over) 3 months to approve items I think any deeper changes to the way that marketplace operates are sadly a long way off. There are measures that can be taken by the store to minimise that if they cared to, and I suppose the only way at the moment would be for the developer to get loads of people to actually BUY the product to be able to rate it so that would quickly cost them more than they will make back even if they are getting 70% back haha). It should have some weighting to the reviews and push those with better scores to the top, like any of the mobile app stores do (there is a lot more to it of course, and anything like that opens it up to people gaming the system - but with FREE apps like on mobile it is a lot easier to cheat. ![]() I think the whole store needs a good redesign in terms of visibility and discoverability. I didn’t realise MScenery had rushed out that many copters already! How has your experience been with their rotor craft thus far and what else should marketplace integrate to help developers retain visibility? In the last two weeks, this developer has had 3 helicopter releases appear on marketplace. The team is anticipating a Marketplace release in a a few weeks but nervous considering the Wilga had roughly 2 months between an external website and marketplace release due to a Marketplace QA backlog since SU11 had launched.Ĭurious what your thoughts are when QA allows submission with a thumbnail that quite literally has the skids in the ground, meaning contact points were not set correctly. GotFriends priced their Mini-500 $15 to be a go-to chopper for anyone considering their first rotorcraft payware. It’s easy to say “price your product for what you think its worth” but if you really look at the data in the background, numbers don’t come from honesty, but rather competitive pricing. At the same time, for general exposure and visibility, other developers end up lowering prices to compete with products like these. Some vendors have consistently held low ratings and have been discussed within the community. We wait for marketplace to QA items prior to release.
