tl;dr: 1) Build a great app, 2) Don’t annoy your users, 3) Ask nicely, don’t beg
In the App Store, app ratings are taken into account for search results, and top chart rankings.
“begging” for ratings became despised and started to negatively impact apps.
Don’t interrupt someone’s experience.
Don’t ask for an app rating after your app has crashed. That’s just stupid.
Do delay asking for a rating until there’s a likely moment of constructive feedback (as you’ll read later), or a positive rating.
What we decided upon is that we would wait to present the ask until the user has opened the app at least 10 times, over the course of 3 distinct days.
Nearly all of the negative app reviews we got were because we asked for a rating.
For Circa we decided to place an integrated rating in the middle of our list of news stories. That way, someone could scroll right past it without having to interact with it, as opposed to a pop up which requires interaction.
If they’re loyal, and not enjoying the app that’s critical to know.
