Rate and review mechanism

[harry2345]

Hello,

I want to get more reviews for my app to be able to promote it in the store through DVLUP.
To get that I want to use a rate and review mechansim. I tried to use the RateMyApp Nuget package, but the app crashes on Windows Phone 8.1. Is there a thing that works on Windows Phone 8.1, and how do I need to use it?

Thanks in advance

first add

using Windows.ApplicationModel.Store;

then this

await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(
                new Uri("ms-windows-store:reviewapp?appid=" + CurrentApp.AppId));

I mean that you get a popup after you have opened the app for the 5th time, that asks if you want to rate the app and if you press no you can give feedback.

You could write a Method with a counter for that count up to 5 and then display a message dialog. Else you could use ReviewNotifier search for it in NuGet.

Use the NuGet package "apppromo" https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Improve-app-ratings-with-a-6139caa5

You needn't to know the URL, just call
MarketplaceReviewTask task = new MarketplaceReviewTask();
task.Show();
This will navigates the user to the Review page.

I am showing this prompt on app start and record the date and time the prompt was displayed to Isolated Storage. Then it is not displayed for specific period of time (let's say a week) not to annoy the user with such prompt on each app start. Once he confirms the prompt he is navigated to the review page using the code above and I also record that he has provided the review not to prompt him at all.

Yes, but this only works in Silverlight.
