Microsoft has revealed today that they have added somenew improvements to the Windows Storeto help control the large number of spam reviews. Last year, Microsoftenabled app developers to reply to reviews, but now developers and other reviewers can also report spam reviews.

When a developer reports a review as spam, it will be reviewed by one of the Windows Store team members. In addition, Microsoft has also added a feature to the Store that will automatically detect and delete many of the spam reviews that are annoying and unhelpful.Developers now have a little more control over nonsensical one-star ratings without comments or spam comments which are irrelevant to the app itself. Hopefully this will solve some of the spam cluttering the Store so that customers will read reviews that lot more helpful and informative so it’s easier for him or her to give the app a shot.What do you think about these new features added to the Windows Store to rid spam reviews? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
