Hi, does anyone know why the number of reviews shown on the app store for each app has been behaving erractically over last few days. It seems like the numbers are changing at random. Has anyone else noticed the same?

I read that apple is only allowing reviews from people who have actually purchased the app.

I read that apple is only allowing reviews from people who have actually purchased the app.

Yes, I was aware about that change back in Feb. But there has been more erractic behavior lately. For instance, Stanza reviews went from 1,158 to 0 to 598 to 20,364 over last 4-5 days.

They have been changing the site over the past few days. I assume it's related to those updates as they are being made.
