Like if you're trying to compare the reviews and ratings from 2 different sources, what would be a good alternative to the Google Play Store reviews themselves? I don't have a problem getting apps from there, and in fact I'm not even going to completely ignore the reviews.
It's more like if someone's just mad at the company for some other reason, most likely they're just going to leave non-specific one star ratings on ALL their apps rather than just one. However, I've actually seen a review on one game, specifying flaws that (Game 1) has and even pointing out that (Game 2) from a competitor doesn't have those flaws. So I get (Game 2) only to find that it does in fact have exactly the same problems that the review on (game 1) was complaining about.
The kicker is that it was even a 3 star review on (Game 1) giving false praise to (Game 2) as opposed to a 1 star review.
So, I'd think that someone just "review bombing" an app or a specific developer, wouldn't have matching reviews between Google Play Store and other review resources (especially if that other resource specifically had countermeasures against review bombing AND apps couldn't "reward" users leaving 5 star reviews on that site like they can with Google Play Store - or some apps appear to "offer" such awards anyway. Not that I've tried that)
TL;DR: What's a good additional review site, as an additional data point / reference to the Google Play Store reviews?
