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.

    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.

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

    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.

    My problem with a lot of systems that ask for user ratings is that they expect you to write a message to go along with it.

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

    Click yes and when it takes you to the page to rate it, click back. It won't bug you again

    It has been my experience. Google Play has no way to communicate back that a rating has been made, so all apps I know just assume you rated and never bother you again.

    Maybe you're just using really sketchy apps, but for me it worked every time.

    I've had apps pop up asking me to rate them out of 5 stars. I always click 1 and they don't bother me about it

    When something ask for a review I always rate 1 star, I don't care if its an app, customer service or Ebay. I never give a positive review when asked.
