Problems viewing Developer response on the App Store

By Ali Colak, 26 September, 2019

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

Hello everyone,
Recently I wrote on the appstore about a problem I had been having with an app. When I try to view the developers response by doubletapping on my original comment to open it up it doesn't work? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Do you know if this is something recent with the appstore, or has it always been the case? I haven't cominucated much through the appstore so I am not very familiar with it.

I normally see the devs responses out of order, that is, at the very top o reviews. I'm not sure when that change took place as I almost never reachout via the app store.

Moved forum topic.

It does seem that this a voiceover problem, so I thought maybe I should move to accessability advocacy and bump it up a bit.

Has anyone else been having the same problem, other than those who have allready posted of course.

I've only seen it after the user review where it says developer responce.

If there is one, it will read it, if not, it just stops reading.

A bug

By Piotr Machacz

There is a bug with reading reviews which has been around even back in iOS 12. VoiceOver always ends reading by saying developer response, but this doesn't actually mean the review has one. This confused me for the longest time. If a review does have a response, then VO will just read it automatically when you focus the review along with the time it was posted.

Thanks Piotr

I've had this issue as well, but I get email notifications from Apple with the developer's response. Still, it would be nice if Apple could fix this issue with the app store.

Developer Responses

I’ve never had an issue when developer responds. Voice over automatically reads response if developer responded. There’s no need to double tap your review to activate.
I get an email from Apple when developer responds. However, that email can come days after developer actually responded.

That's strange. I haven't

That's strange. I haven't been able to read the developer responses to my apps via the app store. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Not only can I not do it on the iPhone, but I can't view them on the mac either.
