Children In China Submit Fake Reviews To Take Down A Homework App

These children turned out to be much naughtier than what adults might think about them.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has threatened the health of many elderly, children in China might consider it as a good chance to escape school and homework. Even when they have to study online, such a homework app in the story below became nonsense because of their shifty tricks.

In the city of Wuhan, not only other manufacturing facilities have to close but schools are also under the city-wide lockdown. Despite the quarantine they’ve got, they are still tasked with doing homework through an app called DingTalk. Now, they appear to down-vote the app on the app store and shut it down as soon as possible.

In the face of the disease outbreak, schools and teachers across China, especially in Wuhan, started using DingTalk as a tool to deliver their courses online as well as setting homework assignments for their students. Strikingly, these children turned out to be much naughtier than which teachers and parents might think about them.

This looks like a positive review. But wait.. just 1 star, huh?

Getting too exhausted due to tons of homework, the children came up with an idea that aimed to send off the app from app stores. In particular, an app with enough negative reviews will automatically be taken out of the app list. Fake bad reviews then made an invasion to the app’s page and left it flooded with 1-star ratings. In just a few days, the rating score of DingTalk sank from 4.9 to 1.4, followed by its absence on both the App Store and Play Store.

The homework app DingTalk is a product developed by the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. According to a report from the London Review of Books, DingTalk has yet to recover its availability.
