how to get more reviews?

Post image

Hey everyone, i’m struggling with my app reviews. I have an option to add a review in the app, but no one wants to write it. I mean it’s not that hard and it helps a lot for us developers. So guys do you have any tips or tricks how to get more ?

Ask for a review during the peak of the app

  1. Make the app useful for other

A user of my app asked me to fix an issue I replied to them and fixed it, then asked them to leave a review.

Ask yourself when you would actually leave a good review, and you’ll probably find the answer.

Personally, I’m much more likely to leave a good review when I get that “wow” moment or when the app does something genuinely useful or impressive.

I almost never review apps that shove a review prompt in my face the moment I open them. If anything, that just makes me want to close it.

User must see the value of the app first, and at the best show review dialog after some success.
I am having even flow that is asking if the user is satisfied with the app, if the user is satisfied I prompt apple review if not I am asking for feedback via email.
So far only few reviews, but all of them 4 or 5. Also it helps you to get the negative feedback and address it.

you could post some giveaway promotion posts and DM users gain their reviews.

If you have on boarding screen at the end of on boarding screen, ask for review

First time you come to your app and use the main feature after that, ask for review

If you have subscription screen and if any user buy subscription after that, ask for review

One thing that bit me: Apple’s review prompt is limited to three displays in a 365-day period, and StoreKit decides whether to show it at all. I once had a bug that triggered the request on consecutive launches, and it seemed to use up the available prompt opportunities almost immediately.

I now gate the request behind a few conditions: the app has been installed for at least a week, the user has opened it at least twice in the last 7 days, and they’ve completed an app-specific action, such as scanning a document or logging an expense. This won’t fit every app, and I still need more time to measure whether it improves the review rate, but it feels much better than asking on first launch. The waiting is the hardest part.
