manipulating user review tally? and no deadline?

I found it in the google play store. I'm not paying to play in this case. Don't like the cheap hustle they are pawning onto people for fake reviews and social media presence. More than that, this print is lacking when compared to the rest of the series.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

wow, nice! I think it's a pretty cool looking print.

This is super sketchy to me. App reviews are meant to be a collection of feedback with actual users' genuine feelings about their experience with an app, to give others insight into whether it's buggy or not, if it has an intuitive user experience, good support, etc. Buying people's reviews with the chance at an exclusive print (which'll easily net 500+ fake reviews) rather than believing in the merit of the app you've created and letting it speak for itself, taking pride in that product... I don't know, it's kinda gross to me. Or maybe that's just the app dev in me.

while sketchy it is actually pretty common, I see restaurants do it all the time where they give you a free item or $5 off if you show them your yelp review.

Yeah they're notifying people via IG stories / DMs. I don't think they've chosen too many winners yet. (Also haven't been picked either.)
