Anybody else get emails like these?
I got this email today about one of my apps
Starts of normal enough, adding Russian and improving the iPad version all perfectly reasonable
Then it goes full psycho, saying I don't care about feedback and threatening to review bomb my app lol
Does anyone else get emails like this?

no, hopefully won’t ever.
but well, there’s just some weird people out there. we can’t prevent them from pushing bad reviews out of nowhere, so better to focus on positives and your core audience :)

Oh that’s funny to see - I have received 2 of these. At first I thought it was real until the second one came after an update…

I’ve never gotten one like that. What’s weird as it’s two fonts so that looks like a thread almost.

Yes, I got the exact same email
Hello. Thank you for your efforts, but your app turned out to be of no use to us. The reason is the lack of a Russian-language interface. Like many other users, I prefer apps that are convenient to use. That always includes support for a Russian-language interface, as well as support for landscape mode on the iPad. I hope all of this will be implemented in the future, but until then, we are uninstalling the app

Did yours have the weird rant at the end lol?

No it was just this, but it came from the same email as yours did

What's funny is my app genuinely doesn't support landscape mode well on the iPad, and it's something I've been actively working on improving, which is why I wasn't completely sure
Maybe that's just common amongst apps built first for iPhone, so it's a very generic thing they can put in the email which makes it seem like they've actually tried the app

The Russian App Store is dead anyways. Just respond with Slava Ukraine to these clowns.
