How do I stop repeated email notifications from Apple for a developer's response to my app review? I left a review for an app about a week ago, and the developer responded. Apple emailed me a notification to let me know. No action required, just an fyi. Since then, I’ve received 7 more of the exact same email in the last two days. How to I make it stop without turning off all notifications? [Re-Titled By Moderator]

Are Apple spam filters are breaking down? I am suddenly receiving a lot more spam breaking through apple's filters. I assume Apple has some global blocking options? They are short messages with an image offering stuff like TV rewards and such other junk. I have been reporting them to apple and blocking their addresses, but they still come through though they go to a spam folder if I have blocked them. Anyway, a lot of them have a similar format, though the email source senders are all sorts of addresses. Does reporting them to spam@icloud.com do any good? Or help Apple update their filters?

Apple keeps deleting my (positive) review on the App Store I gave a 5-star review for an alternative calendar app some days ago, positively referring to the clear interface design and to some initial iOS 17 related compatibility problems for with the developer has offered a workaround in the meantime. A few hours later I received an e-mail stating that my review "is not in compliance with the Apple Media Terms and Conditions, Submissions Guidelines under Section C" and that my review had been deleted. After some hours I tried the same again, payed double attention to what I wrote (no violation recognizable at all to me), and this time I made a screenshot of my 5-star review before posting. Now I have received the same automated Apple e-mail again. No further explanation provided. What is going wrong here, and why does Apple keep deleting positive reviews? Original review, taken from screenshot: "Clear and easy design Best iOS calendar app so far. Design is very clear and easy to use. Especially week lavout is a problem with original iOS calendar, much better here. After initial iOS 17 iCloud issues there is a workaround now." The app is called "OneCalendar".

I disabled all notifications from the App Store because it just became annoying. I get spammed with notifications and emails of this and there doesn’t seem a fix other than to delete the review.

I have received at least ten emails in the last two or three days - thank goodness I only left one piece of feedback! 😂
