Developer Esper Mishaal Rahman Discover Announcing the new waiting time on the Play Store. The notice states that Google wants to use the waiting period to detect and possibly remove misleading reviews.

Both the review and the answer will only be published in the Reviews section of the Google Play Store after the waiting period.
end of last year Google decided It will only show Play Store users ratings and reviews from other users from the same country.
