What's up with the TripAdvisor app?

[steve62388]

In the UK iOS App Store, TripAdvisor is polluted with 24,000 reviews of hotels and restaurants. Is it the same in your country? Do you think this is because the reviewers are just incredibly stupid or is there a review link somewhere in the app that is ambiguous? Why on Earth wouldn't Apple filter these out? My reviews never get published immediately so they must go through some sort of human interaction. I can understand why TripAdvisor wouldn't complain, it probably games them up the popularity charts.

And what's up with the pointless bi-weekly updates with no release notes? If they actually change anything in the app (I have my doubts, they probably just resubmit the same code every time) they must have ironed out all the bugs by now.

Cant answer but I use the app for the restaurant reviews, ignoring 1st and 2nd time reviewers mostly, and then check the hygene rating of the restaurant: https://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/
In Wales its law to show the rating prominently and this has worked well: www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/34943449?client=safari
sorry to go off topic hope someone can answer your query.
