How to Stop Apps from Nagging You For Reviews

Developers are always trying to get reviews from their users. You probably already noticed that some apps will even ask you to leave a review in the App Store right after you’ve installed them.

While reviews are a useful way for developers to get recognition on the App Store and for you to leave your honest opinion about the app so other people can see it, it gets old pretty quickly to constantly be asked to leave a review for any app, especially if you only plan to use it a few times a month.

What’s worse is that sometimes apps will ask you to leave a review multiple times, even if you already told them that you don’t want to do it.

The good news is that Apple knows this, and it’s made incredibly easy to turn off these requests with just a few taps. Here’s what you need to know.

How to Turn Off Review Requests on iPhone

If you want to stop apps from constantly nagging you for reviews, you can turn this feature off completely. However, keep in mind that you can’t disable this only for specific apps — it’s an all-or-nothing thing, so once you switch it off, you won’t get requests from any app you use.

Here’s how to turn off in-app ratings and reviews:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and go to App Store.
3. Scroll down one more time and disable In-App Ratings & Reviews.

And that’s it. You shouldn’t get any more review requests popping up in your apps.

Should You Turn Off In-App Ratings & Reviews?

As we mentioned before, turning this feature off will make sure you don’t get annoyed by review requests when using your favorite apps. 

However, rating an app is the perfect way to provide feedback for developers. You can let them know what you like and dislike about their app simply by rating them. Not only that, but you’ll also get to help other people so they know if that app is for them or not.

Of course, you can easily do that manually by visiting the app’s page in the App Store without needing to be prompted to go there, so remember to rate the apps you really enjoy or the ones you want to warn people to stay away from. It’s quick and easy, and you can help both developers and users like you.

Stop Annoying Requests From Developers

As you can see, turning off in-app ratings & reviews is super easy to do, and it’ll only take you a few seconds.

While you should always consider rating the apps that stand out to you, you can turn this feature off so you don’t get annoyed by these requests so often.
