Great talk at the Partner Town Hall, really happy you're considering more communication with partners. That's a good breath of fresh air for us! @atleeclark I'm glad to hear you're working to address the influx of new apps. Do you have any plans to tackle partners launching multiple apps in the same category with overlapping functionality?

After 6 years TinyIMG passes 50000 active installs on @Shopify ! Thank you everyone who has been part of the journey! 🥳 Next goal - 100000 active installs in the next 2 years!

One thing I learned while working with Shopify merchants - keep backups of every change you make (and the original version). Things break, most often not even on the app end and when we come to the rescue - It's a customer for life! I would recommend this to all app owners. It's better to be safe than with a negative review 😅

As the dust settles from Shopify’s review purge, the algo seems simple: If the store is closed or the review has no text – it gets deleted (with a few exceptions). An improvement would be to manually remove really old negative reviews where the issues have already been fixed by the developer, but the store is still open. Who benefited the most: 1. Apps that improved over time – old negative reviews were removed, leaving mostly 5* ones. 2. Review farmers. Many reviews were removed, but farming still works, so some of these apps kept a lot more reviews than those who worked genuinely. Who lost: 1. Apps in niche categories – harder to get reviews in the first place. 2. Old apps that didn’t actively collect reviews. Overall, it’s a net positive. But It could be made even better moving forward: 1. Do not allow leaving reviews for the first 3 days after install (or at least 24 hours minimum). 2. Let merchants select which features they liked (limit to 5). We already have categories with features, so It's easy to let merchants pick from those. 3. Automatically prompt merchants to contact support if the review mentions "refund". Most apps issue refunds even when the charge is valid. @ShopifyDevs @glencoates Let’s improve the platform through collaboration with app developers, not with a “my decision is final” approach.

Can we get more transparency about what's happening with the Shopify App Store? Reviews are being randomly deleted, and no one, including Shopify support, seems to know why. @ShopifyDevs @ShopifySupport
