TurboTax has 4.8 stars on the App Store?

Is Apple allowing fake reviews on the App Store? I find it very unlikely that TurboTax is beloved enough to merit 4.8 stars.

I know this isn’t scientific, but take a scroll through the most recent reviews. They are made up of 1-3 star reviews with complaints of the customer experience.

I may be jumping the gun here, but can we trust no one? Fraudulent reviews are rampant on the internet, but I assumed Apples App Store would be somewhat walled off through the requirement for an Apple ID.

Please share any information HN may have on how reviews work on the App Store and if anyone knows of ways they are being manipulated (like Yelp, Amazon, and Google Maps do).
