− | This is why looking at both the positive and negative reviews is good practice. --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.54.44|173.245.54.44]] 17:57, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

− | It struck me when I read it that it was also suggesting that there are probably other people out there who COULDN'T leave a negative review, because the app failed them and they were killed in the tornado. If the program not working means you're likely to die, then only people with positive reviews will survive to leave reviews, giving the wrong impression: look, the are 3 times as many positive reviews as negative ones! I'll take it!"

− | It seems like there must be some reason he chose something so deadly as a tornado; it could have been anything, and the other reasons would still have worked.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.118|108.162.218.118]] 00:42, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

− | True to life if you've ever checked a travel insurance policy review site. Everything is rated five stars because of idiots leaving reviews that went "I didn't need it, thank God, but the feeling of security is invaluable."[[Special:Contributions/108.162.222.35|108.162.222.35]] 09:08, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

− | Neither the explanation nor the comment seem to realize that the app does not claim to warn of approaching tornadoes. The description actually indicates it notifies of "tornado warnings", which are PSA (public service announcements) broadcasted on TV or over-the-air radio when there's an official tornado detected in a certain area. So technically even the 1-star comment is either wrong or incomplete -- we don't know whether a tornado warning was issued in this particular case. Furthermore, one of positive comments indicates one can setup geofencing locations in the app, and in the case of the 1-star comment we don't know whether this was setup properly or not by the user.

− | Far from blaming the victim, this is actually a real issue on the receiving end of bug reports. Software developers often have to deal with laconic explanations of what went wrong, lacking proper context and details that would make the bug reports actually meaningful. A proper bug report is supposed to give as much context as possible, which a single short sentence in a feedback/rating screen does not allow for.

− | :My favorite bug report I recieved (replaced some terms in this quote): "You need to adapt ASAP so we can adapt spec. <basic feature name> on the <term similar to the tools name> and form thereby a nice looking <type of expected output>" - sent in by a user via email, with no context, greetings, etc. When I asked to please specify the issue, I did not get an answer. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 06:31, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
