        @reneritchie @brentsimmons Not sure how I feel about Apple sending that explanation to be posted publicly.

        @atomicbird @brentsimmons My understanding is that it was reluctant and only after attempts to resolve it directly with the dev failed.

        Also included an FAQ addressing why developers shouldn’t worry about bad competitors review bombing them. http://www.imore.com/whats-happening-dash-and-app-store …https://twitter.com/reneritchie/status/785600852849487873 …

        @reneritchie Ok, I am feeling less confident in my support for them now :(

        @jamesthomson The devs statement was hard to ignore, but Apple would be foolish to push back this hard if they weren’t 300% sure?

        @reneritchie If true, somewhat odd. Dash is an excellent app—it certainly didn't feel like it needed a boost from fake reviews.

        @mtabini Sounds like there was a second account with ~23 other apps that was the issue.

      @reneritchie Sad to see developers resorting to unfair practices to boost their ratings.

        @reneritchie Trouble is, all the customers have lost an app they paid good money for. Win for Apple who keep 30%. Hardly seems fair. 😠
