Then it looks like your app is crap and the competitors are way better.&lt;p&gt;In prev job, we had few ratings of our app, and avg. of 3.5. After adding the question, we got thousands of 5 stars and went to avg. 4.7 in a few months.&lt;p&gt;Of course the app should give you &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t care&amp;quot; option, and store your answer to not repeat the question.</text><parent_chain><item><author>GekkePrutser</author><text>This article is from 2014, right now my annoyance is more all these apps with low self esteem.&lt;p&gt;Always this stupid question &amp;quot;do you like this app&amp;quot; and then redirecting me to the play store to vote if I say yes or the support site when I say no. And to make matters worse they keep doing it every few days. Once is passable, over and over is NOT.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve started to give 1-star reviews to these apps. So sick of this behaviour. Especially many of Microsoft&amp;#x27;s corporate apps do this (like outlook or teams) and most people download these because they need them, not because of some rating.&lt;p&gt;edit: I mean I do the 1-star thing with the apps which keep asking. If they ask once I just don&amp;#x27;t do the review (If I really &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; the app I would have left a 5-star review anyway). But once it comes up again I do this.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Stop Asking Me to “Sign Up” (2014)</title><url>https://www.gkogan.co/blog/stop-asking-me-to-sign-up/</url></story>

Or at least disallow having an option that expresses dissatisfaction while bypassing the Play Store review system, but sending any positive response along to it to boost the application&amp;#x27;s rating.</text><parent_chain><item><author>GekkePrutser</author><text>This article is from 2014, right now my annoyance is more all these apps with low self esteem.&lt;p&gt;Always this stupid question &amp;quot;do you like this app&amp;quot; and then redirecting me to the play store to vote if I say yes or the support site when I say no.
