Stop iPhone apps from asking you to rate and review once and for all
Apple’s iPhone is more than just a smartphone. It’s more than a camera and portable gaming system. The iPhone has become ingrained in pop culture through sleek design and clever marketing.

How often have you found yourself engrossed in an app only to be interrupted by a prompt asking you to rate and review it in Apple’s App Store? This can be annoying, especially if you use many apps daily. Well, there’s a way to stop those prompts, and we’ll show you how.
The review is up to you
Ratings and reviews are essential for developers to gauge their audience’s likes or dislikes about their apps. In-app review reminders get more users to enter the app store and voice their opinions. Others use these ratings to decide whether or not to download the app in the first place.
You can rate and review an app whether you love or hate it. But there should be no pressure or obligation. In-app review prompts can pop up at inconvenient moments. You may be deep into a boss battle in a game or putting fine touches on your artwork in a sketching app.
