Hi everyone,
Is there a better way to have someone rate your app other than redirecting them back to the app listing in store? I ask because redirecting them wouldn't actually let me know if they left a rating just that they launched that URL. I wanted to incentive them to rate the app but I would need confirmation before issuing that incentive.
Thanks,
David

Re: Google Play Rating
I would hope that the only thing we can do is to launch the Play Store to our app and let the user take it from there.
Any API for users to do ratings from within an app would likely not actually require a user to trigger the action. Then bots take over and ratings become meaningless.

Re: Google Play Rating
I suspect Google thought the same thing, since I've never seen an Android app that didn't redirect the user back to the Play Store listing.

Re: Google Play Rating
Thanks for the replies,
I guess I'll just have to take the launching of the URL has a strong indicator they actually left a rating.
Thanks again
