If it doesn't work, it gets rated low. If it takes hours to set itself up (I'm looking at you local-radio-cache-app) it gets given up on and rated low. (Hours of downloads, on a link that can pull an entire ubuntu dvd in a few minutes..) Any app that goes all FC after the first page (ahem, awesome-looking monster card game list) gets low ratings..
I think the biggest two problems with the -number- of reviewers is that getting an app to actually install is a mess (I have only had one install via ADP app, and one that wouldn't install at -all- after trying half the weekend) and not that many people know it is there to begin with..
