CHAPTER 17: The Android Market

Rating and Commenting

If you've installed an app, you may want to go back and tell other users how well it
works. Even a comment verifying that it works on your model of phone is helpful. The
first step is to rate the app.
The ratings area is at the top of the app's
detail page under the My review section.
Tap the Stars icon, and you'll see a rating
screen resembling the figure on the right.
Indicate the number of stars the app
deserves by dragging your finger from left
to right. Once you are finished, tap OK.
Once you've rated an app, you'll see a link
to post a comment right under your rating.
You can only comment on apps you've
rated.

Installing Apps Outside the Android Market

In most cases, the Android Market is all you need to find apps for your phone. However,
developers aren't required to offer their apps through the market. App developers in
countries that don't yet support paid apps through the Android Market may want to sell
paid versions of their apps outside the market, for example. This also allows developers
to create alternative app markets, like SlideME (http://slideme.org). You can download
apps from other locations, but you need to enable downloads from unknown sources to
authorize this ability.
