Sure thing. It gets a 1 star. Reason? Leave me the fuck alone.

I might do it if they waited for a more opportune time than 13 seconds after I first installed it

I rate it 1 star if it asks before I could possibly have even used it.

It would have to be a truly miraculous app that transforms my life for me to change a review.

If it asks after the 20th or so use, then it gets 5 stars because I obviously open it a bunch and regardless of my feelings, it’s obviously useful to me.

Bank and medical apps get an automatic 1 star because I don’t get a choice in using them and I want them always improving.

And if they use the dark pattern of a fake in-app review, so that they can redirect only the good ratings to the app store while opening a “feedback form” for bad ratings - I will actually go out of my way and open the app store and give them a one-star anyway.

What if it asks after 5 uses… oh sorry I meant after every 5 uses, until you give in? :-P

I give it one star if it does that. Same if it interrupts what I am doing to beg for ratings.

Nagging for a rating is going to get you a zero star rating.

And a comment about it begging for rating.

Seems kinda cringe and insecure to beg for ratings.

Sadly it works if people are prompted to do it. Similar to yubbtub where it’s common to say stuff like “please like and subscribe”.

And as this can help business, it happens a lot.

Saying “like and subscribe” doesn’t cause a modal pop-up to cover the screen and force you to interact with it. If it did, I wouldn’t watch people who said that.

You’re not wrong, I just hate it.

Isn’t that standard business practice so that you’d be able to promote your product? As well to improve?

If I like or dislike an app enough, I’ll rate and review it myself without being begged.

Eh, from my experience it’s most often that people who hate or dislike something are the most likely to leave a review, then less likely is people who love a certain app/product, then the vast majority who are in between, maybe even like but not enough to go review the app without prompting.

I will never, ever, give into Teams asking me to rate it, but precisely because my feedback will not make this app any better or worse than it already is.

Yeah corporate goals are different and sometimes at odds with the need of their users so what’s the point
