Updated App Store Review Policy
Both developers and consumers on the iPhone App Store will be glad to hear some good news coming out of Cupertino today: you can't review an app until you've purchased it.
This is great, especially for apps that have a high price tag (or even any price tag) as the reviews section would often become filled with users complaining and giving low ratings for the app due to its price without ever having used the app whatsoever.
This is a small step, but it's good to see Apple adjusting to the way the app store is used.
Now, all you need to do now Apple is to help out those poor developers that spend months working on apps simply to be turned down at the last hurdle because it competes with your own plans.

elp out those poor developers? hahaha
shutting the community voice is a terrible idea!
If they wanna charge anything, they better accept the booing comments. at least!
this is the internet, where freedom speaks louder. Anything can and should be found for FREE and anyone can speak their mind everywhere.
Those who feel bothered are those who deserve it. This is the true nature of the internet and there's no coming back.
CHARGE MY ASS.
