Bug: App Catalog Bug Reports Show up as Feedback for App!

[ Edited ]

I just noticed this the other day when I was attempting to download the new update for "MyQ for Netflix." Last evening, when the update was released the update failed to download continuously even after I cleared it and reset the phone, so I filled a bug report using the built-in "App Catalog -> Bug" feature. Today, when I tried to update the app again (successfully this time) I checked the app's reviews, and noticed that mine had been replaced with the bug report I had filled the previous evening! 

 

Moreover, I noticed that when this happened it removed my name name from the review but didn't replace it with "Anonymous." Reading through several reviews of the app, I noticed many that appeared to have the same error (that is, the name was removed and they were written like bug reports). The unfortunate thing is that these errors give the app a zero star rating so I imagine that it has a considerable effect on the app's overall score!

I can also update this thread to note that I've seen this phenomenon occur in other apps as well- in particular "Grocery List" stands out both because of the Bugged posts, but also because some of the bugs are in German! Crazy!
