rookie | 15 years ago | on: How to get 4 to 5 stars on the App Store

I also had awesome results from asking for reviews using appirater. I have mine set for 20 days and 20 uses. (They will not be asked to review until they have been using it for at least 20 days and have used the app at least 20 times)

I now have over 50 reviews for the current version with a 4-5 star average.

rookie | 15 years ago | on: Why your child's school bus has no seat belts

Yeah, and not only extremely expensive but because of things like misuse, what if the addition of seatbelts actually results in more deaths?

rookie | 15 years ago | on: Why your child's school bus has no seat belts

> "six children die each year in bus accidents"

Those seem to be ridiculously good numbers and back up everything stated in this article. I would worry that making ANY changes could actually increase that number.
