Since the publication of this article [1] it has come to my attention that it contains an error in which the y-axis in Fig. 1 was inverted, thus incorrectly displaying a weak negative correlation rather than a weak positive one. This error was introduced as the order of the data on which Fig. 2 was based [2] was misread. The corrected version of Fig. 2 can be seen below, in which a weak positive correlation is now displayed. This does not change the general point, that app users and app stores appear to take little notice of the source of information on which apps are based. I apologise to readers for this error.
自本文[1]发表以来，我注意到其中存在一个错误，即图1中的y轴被倒置了，因此错误地显示出弱负相关而非弱正相关。这个错误是由于误读了图2所基于的数据[2]的顺序而产生的。下面可以看到图2的修正版本，其中现在显示出弱正相关。这并不改变总体观点，即应用程序用户和应用程序商店似乎很少关注应用程序所基于的信息来源。我为此错误向读者道歉。
