Tip: Don’t force your customers to rate your app

Tips Add comments

Back in the early days of the App Store, adding a dialog box to your app asking the customer to review your app on the App Store was a great way to get more reviews. And if you timed the dialog in such a way that it was only shown after X number of app launches, it was very likely that the customer was a happy, repeat user of your app.

Today however, with almost every app trying the same trick, these dialogs are just annoying.

Here’s some good advice from Shade Schick of FierceDeveloper: Enough with the in-your-face app review requests

    As a regular user of several apps I have to agree with Nick. I have also either not given an app a chance or deleted it because of all the garbage you have to get through before you can actually use it..
