Left has over 2.8K reviews on the App Store, with a 4.7 rating my method for getting reviews is simple and it works. no dodgy tricks. it respects Apple's guidelines and the user experience, and you don't need to measure and stress with "aha! moments" or reward triggers I tried all of that before and honestly I don't think any of it worked. the biggest jump in reviews (and in positive ones) came in the last few months, after this change, I know because I track it here's how: 1. make a "What's New?" screen that shows after major updates. not after every update, only a few times a year, when you ship something big like a major new feature. I version my app as 2026.XX.YY so whenever XX changes it appears this screen 2. make your own review screen. show reviews from other users and community proof (if you have them!) 3. connect the two. show the review screen right after the "What's New?" screen every time, unless the user is in a cooldown because they already left a review this gets you 5 stars almost every time because: - it never interrupts someone while they're actually using the app - it shows up right after good news about new features, which shows you care about the app - only people who actually use your app see it, because no one else opens the app after an update two more tips: - notice the "Send feedback" button under the CTA button, pretty explanatory - after rating, people can close the screen or tap the CTA button again. it now says "Write a review", so they can add a written review if they want. never force it try it and let me know how it goes!
