Opinion on music app reviews
I was looking to download SynthMaster Player to fool around with again & decided to look over the reviews page - then, even as I clicked the Reviews tab I thought: 'How many of these reviews from the masses out there can I even remotely bother taking any stock in when I have no idea who is who out there?'
My general opinion is that most of them can't be taken seriously.
I didn't read the review page before I made this post. Probably won't until I get some op-eds...

I read the reviews, then I click on the persons name and look at all the other reviews they have left. Gives me a good sense of if they are an avid music app user. Course no way is full proof.
Synthmaster player is still free to download right? So, do it. I say.....
Hear, hear!
On the larger question, I treat app store reviews like Amazon reviews. General indicators. For iOS music apps, 100+ reviews over the app's lifetime averaging four stars or better, plus a solid update track record equals "highly recommended" - provided said app is the droid you're looking for
Review reviews! Oh, meta.
I pretty much ignore the App Store reviews. I'll look at ratings if there are enough ratings. Has to be well over 100 for it to matter at all.
I think it's pretty clear, when you're reading a review, whether or not the reviewer has any real insight to the perks and shortcomings of a particular app, just from the verbiage. I've often found specific, crucial details in a review that the app (or product) description was vague about.
For example, the omission of an audition key in Patterning's sample edit area. It's something the developer certainly won't alert you to, but someone will mention this rather quickly in a review.
Glean what you can.
The problem with the reviews is that folks are more likely to post a review if they are angry or have an axe to grind, then if they are happy. So they do tend to get weighted. And a lot of them, as was alluded to above, are by folks who really don't have a clue, or expect everything to be free, or had a problem that had nothing to do with the app in question. I do tend to look at them. But I really only buy ones that have recommendations from people I now, have good youtubes, and really fill a hole. I can't say I'm an appaholic, I have bought Auria plugins, and I picked up GeoShred because it looked cool, and is cool.
I actually find Amazon reviews when I'm buying technical books to be quite useful. But apps in the App Store are a whole different thing.
I pretty much use Audiobus forum for reviews, more in depth opinions from people like me, plus I know all you guys by now. (I nonetheless leave reviews about apps I'm fired up about)
Always read the reviews but don't dont necessarily make a purchase decision based on them. Reviews Can sometimes hold snippets of useful information like ... Worked with iOS 8 but not working with iOS 9.2 ....
Positive reviews can't be trusted so I ignore all the positive reviews, consider whether I can live with the negative facts (not opinions) in the app or not. Like broken or missing features. Often those alone turn into a deal killer for me.
i used to read them and put stock in them to varying degrees but now I just do a search on the forum here
I look for reviews (usually negative) that mention buggy, unstable behavior; then I look at the update history.
SynthMaster is amazing.
It is "Best of" for what box it occupies.
It could be argued about what box that is however.
I feel that at times it seems too "sample"based for some moods I get in.
On the other hand the depth and quality of the sounds and accompanying parameter controls seem to greatly compensate for that.
It is an 8 out of 10.
I have not awarded a 10 yet.
1- It just needs more engine generated PURE synth preset banks. Full ADSR and parameter control along with envelopes and wave selection. More like the VST
2- And also a 4 track recorder.
3 - And a sequencer.
If it had those 3 taken care of a 10.
Fixed it for you.
I already had it (and liked it) and deleted it just to save space on the ol' iPhone 5 here, but will from time-to-time I will get apps I've had before and go through them again.
I give this thread 3 out of 5 rating, it started well, and worked ok for some time, but then it changed into something else, had it stayed as it was when it started it would have been 5 out of 5.
App Store reviews are good to read to get some opinions and see what problems people are having, but I really only buy music apps I hear about in places like this, where you can get more in-depth info and discussion. A friend or enemy of an app can't make a good or bad case without it being challenged.
Having said that above, the landscape is always changing. SynthMaster seemed to work better when I first got it, and I bought several IAPs for it. Hopefully, they'll keep working on it.
