Handago Review reliable??

I bought a software from Handago, tried to give a comment/review (quite negatieve one i agree) about it and it had never been published!
I tried 4 times...😡

I think Handago is not fair and just put the positive reviews on their site!!
That's are gangster manier, they censured what is not good for their business, and all the idea of that reviewsystem is just made to make those software looks beter then they really are... That can be called fraud if you ask me!
😡

Why don't you post your comments on community sites like AAS, NewLC and/or others ?

You'll have more chances to be published

Handango has very strict rules for publishing reviews.They can't let anyone bash developers if they just feel like it.

Just accepting positive critics is called censure.... 😞
That's lying to the public and buyers by just showing people (real or fake) who says they like it without letting those who didn't like it to the word.

The only thing i can conclude about this is that Handago cheaters are and surrely NOT reliable, because the comments you see are not a mirror from the reality, the review are just there to make sell not to inform.

It goes on a lot at handango, particuly if its one of their better selling apps. I made a review about 6 months ago. I didnt totally bash it or the developer and it did include a few possitive comments but they were mainly negative, and supprise suprise this review never for posted. Yet they will accept a possitive review for a piece of crap.
Thats why no matter how good the reviews are you should never buy before you try.

Although being quite satisfied with my purchases from Handango, I always had a feeling that those reviews were either fake or plain one-sided.

As unwillingly stupidly entertaining I find Blue Lingibullitut or whatever he feels like calling himself tomorrow, I strongly agree with his complaint towards Handango, if the accusations turns out to be true. And it looks like they quite well could be.

I think it would be great - and very much in the interests of Handango - to clarify this matter. I for one, would find alternative (legal) ways to obtain my software if Handango is guilty of such (stupid) misconduct.

Language has nothing to do to this matter. Look at the present reviews on Handago, not all are written by (pretentious like you) english speaking people.
It's not the way you are writting that matters but what you are saying. Make it beter because it's well writed? That's for sure not thrue.
I could write this in 4 languages and you?

Just try it yourself, write a negative test about a software and you will see.
This is just censure in the first degree.

Wrong.

Communication is about language. And Lulu, the language you use to communicate is not helping you at all. On the contrary.

You made a good point, I think, in your criticism of Handango but why for the name of God do you continue to behave so stupidly writing that last post of yours trying to flame Ghost Dog with some downright childish stuff like how many languages he speaks etc. What is the point?

If you want people to take you seriously then try and behave as if you were an adult person. You get what you give.

Like Ewan said,if its well writen and unbiased it will be published on AAS.

Understood.
I still think somebody from Handango should step forward and explain (or am I missing something here in the bigger picture?).

Communication is about content not the support...
What you are saying is much more important that the way you are saying it. Prove? You understand me very well !

If you only try to communicate in a language wich you are good in, then you will stay communicate with a very small part of the world.
You all understand me and english is only my 4th language.

But like you say.. my point was something about te way that HJandago censure some review. Just do the test by yourself !

From a strict communication point of view you are right.

But Lulu, take a look around you. Do you have a feeling people here like you and the WAY you communicate? No? Have you ever wondered why? Ultimately people will stop to even pay attention to you. You know why?

I think you know the answers to those questions.
And if you are fine with that, then be it.

Enough of this.

Thanks for the support Contour.I really do think that it matters how you say it.

BTW:I'm not a native English speaker.
