I used to work for a cable company whose name rhymes with “bombast”. Our iOS app was barely rated above one star, with many reviews along the lines of “I gave this app one star because you can’t give an app zero stars”. Bombast regularly sent out company-wide emails requesting employees to download the app and give it five stars. I don’t know exactly how many employees they had but it obviously wasn’t enough to make a dent in the awfulness.
They had also just won the Consumerist “worst company in the world” contest (while being the runner-up the two years prior), and they sent out emails telling employees to download that spreadsheet and vote for any other company. Thank god for BP and Deepwater Horizon!
