Lots of bad apps on Apple App Store also have surprisingly high average ratings.

My best guess: the app asks the user whether they're enjoying it, if yes, asks for a review, if no, nothing.

Om the other hand, negative experiences would lead to a review earlier. You know, the loud negative majority.

Firefox users are more informed and militant in how to make an effective evaluation on the site. Chrome users are governed by lowest common denominator.

This has been disallowed on the App Store for a couple of years now; but of course is completely unenforced.
