Snapdeal caught in backlash against Snapchat CEO
Sample some of these reviews for the Snapchat app in Google play, which have been left since Snapchat CEO's alleged remarks came to light. Some of these have been edited to remove profanity.
"CEO you told that India is a poor country. I bought countless products from Snapdeal. Don't say like that. Now am gonna delete my account from SD. Hate you and hate your apps." said one user on Google Play while leaving the Snap deal app a 1-star review. ' I think Evan Thomas Spiegel is having very poor intelligence." said another while doing the same
Thakfully, people seem to have realized that many are confused between Snapdeal and Snapchat and giving the former 1-star reviews, so they are leaving the Snapdeal app 5-star reviews in an attempt to, what they say, is 'balance' things out. Here are few:
" Snapdeal and Snapchat both are different apps. Please stop the stupid propaganda of giving 1-star."
"Just for balancing. This is SnapDEAL, not snapCHAT. Do not confuse."
