Platform rules

How App Store reviews work

Apple controls how and when users can be asked for ratings. Using its tools well is the most reliable way to improve your App Store rating.

  • Developers can respond publicly to reviews in App Store Connect
  • Apple’s rating prompt appears only a limited number of times a year
  • You can choose to reset your summary rating with a new version
  • Incentivized or manipulated ratings break Apple’s rules

Our review standards

  • We never write, buy or swap reviews
  • We never reward users for positive ratings
  • We never try to remove genuine reviews just because they are negative
  • We report only reviews that break App Store guidelines

Why this matters: App Store detects and penalizes review manipulation. Honest reviews and good replies are what last.

FAQ

App Store Review Management FAQs

How do I manage App Store reviews?

Use App Store Connect to read and respond to reviews, monitor ratings by version and country, and report reviews that break Apple’s guidelines. We manage this for you and share insights with your product team.

Can I reply to App Store reviews?

Yes. Developers can respond publicly to reviews in App Store Connect, and users may be notified of your reply. Helpful responses can lead users to update their rating.

How do I get more App Store ratings?

Use Apple’s in-app rating prompt after users complete something successfully. Apple limits how often the prompt appears, so timing matters. Never offer rewards for ratings.

Can I reset my App Store rating?

When you release a new version, you can choose to reset your summary rating. This can help after fixing major issues, but it also removes your existing rating history from the summary.

Do you also manage Google Play reviews?

Yes. Most apps need both. See our Google Play review management service.

How much does App Store review management cost?

Cost depends on your review volume, the number of locations, products or apps, and how much response and reporting support you need. After a free audit you receive a fixed-scope proposal.
