iOS 8 is beta, they are totally fine about not supporting it there.

There's a massive problem where people install the iOS betas and then proceed to leave 1-star reviews all of the App Store because programs don't work as expected. There isn't really any way to combat it, either.

I've seen quality programs lose at least one star on the store because of idiots who don't understand what beta means but "ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO" run prerelease software.

Apple disabled reviews for iOS 8 Beta users.

Did they? If so, that's a huge improvement over the iOS 7 beta release.

Although I suspect that it does nothing for those who add reviews through iTunes on the computer rather than through App Store on the device!
