The app also has a bafflingly high number of positive ratings, leading some to suspect subterfuge
they could be hesitant to do so for an app whose developer is a sovereign state.
But there is no evidence that anyone on the ArriveCAN team is trying to manipulate the Apple Store numbers, and given that the app is mandatory anyway they wouldn’t stand to receive any financial gain for doing so . The number of ratings may also seem outsized because app developers on the Apple Store are allowed to “reset” their ratings whenever they release a new version. So while ArriveCAN has simply been racking up ratings since its introduction in April 2020, major players such as Twitter and Facebook are constantly resetting the clock on their rating counts, making it appear as if ArriveCAN has more.
Google Play doesn’t allow such resets, which might explain why ArriveCAN’s ratings on that platform aren’t as disproportionate. Total Google Play reviews for ArriveCAN stand at 215,000 while for a major player like Snapchat it’s 31 million.. There are now dozens of stories of travellers being denied entry into Canada or ordered into quarantine simply because they missed a step during their ArriveCAN registration.
This prompt, which shows up while users are inputting their ArriveCAN details, requires only a single click on one of the stars for a “rating” to be registered.there’s the distinct possibility that there are legitimately a few hundred thousand people who love ArriveCAN.retty easy to use I’m hoping they drop the vaccination status eventually it’s my first time coming to the country I’m super excited I can’t wait to visit.
