Let’s face it, while app reviews in the Android Market might be helpful to developers and potential customers for finding out some of the best and worst features of the current release of an app, they haven’t been altogether too informative, and could be skewed to show the app as being worst/better than it really is. Old reviews can still weigh heavily on the user’s choice, especially if those reviews mention glaring bugs that had been fixed in recent updates or that were only present on older Android phones. Also frustrating is when developers see a review with good feedback that they would like to save/share later, only for it to get lost in the thousands of other reviews for that same app – going back in to find it later is like trying to find a specific needle in a pile of other similarly formatted needles.

Around here we don’t judge people for their choice of smartphone OS.  We might point and snicker, but it’s all in fun.  Having said that, there are more than a few people making the leap from an iPhone to an Android phone.  There’s a world of difference, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out the “android way” of doing things — especially if you’re used to iOS and their different, “Apple way” of doing things.  AC forums adviser, and all around guru of guides milominderbinder has you covered once again.  He’s taken the time and broken everything down to the basics, with an eye for folks switching to Android from iOS.  It’s a beautiful read, even if you’re not an ex-iUser — you’ll probably learn something.  Be sure to hit the forums and check it out, and give milo a big thanks for his hard work!

I agree.

I popped open my market app, tapped Music, hit top Albums, CHECK, tapped top Songs, CHECK.
