On all things software, by Éric PETIT
Public betas of iOS and OS X can lead to negative App Store reviews

Paul Mayne (Day One), has posted a screenshot of a one star review, because the public beta of iOS 9 was crashing his software. Federico Viticci reminds users what the consequences are for applications in the App Store and the Mac App Store:

For third-party developers — the folks who make the apps you use every day — the problem is compounded by the fact that their finished apps can be installed and run on an unfinished version of iOS/OS X and that users can leave regular, public App Store reviews for them. This is the core of an issue that presents itself every year.

UPDATE (July 22, 2015): You can no longer post app reviews from prerelease iOS versions.
