More Bogus App reviewers and reviews - update 1

Well it has been almost 2 weeks since we broke the story on the 300 plus bogus app reviews in iTunes, who the App reviewers were and what apps were apparently paying for said reviews. It has been over 9 days since Apple replied they were reviewing. And sadly Apple has yet to take any action.

That said - We will keep finding those that are doing paid app reviews and those apparently paying for said reviews and exposing them here. This way you know which reviewers not to trust and which apps not to buy. Since the original story broke - Link to Original Post - There have been more reviewers and Apps reviewed. Here are the new ones:

Thanks for compiling this list and raising the warning to the community. I hope Apple cleans this up. They need to execute better on community support issues and governance. I vote for you to be on the governance board as a community member. Apple has to get serious about listening and acting on these issues, which are many and growing.
