expo-store-review provides access to the SKStoreReviewController API in iOS 10.3+ devices, and ReviewManager API in Android 5.0+ allowing you to ask the user to rate your app without ever having to leave the app itself.

Installation

expo-linking is a peer dependency and must be installed alongside expo-store-review.

Usage

It is important that you follow the Human Interface Guidelines for iOS and Guidelines for Android when using this API.

Specifically:

  • Don't call StoreReview.requestReview() from a button - instead try calling it after the user has finished some signature interaction in the app.
  • Don't spam the user.
  • Don't request a review when the user is doing something time sensitive like navigating.
  • Don't ask the user any questions before or while presenting the rating button or card.

Write Reviews

iOS

You can redirect someone to the "Write a Review" screen for an app in the iOS App Store by using the query parameter action=write-review. For example:

const itunesItemId = 982107779;
// Open the iOS App Store in the browser -> redirects to App Store on iOS
Linking.openURL(`https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id${itunesItemId}?action=write-review`);
// Open the iOS App Store directly
Linking.openURL(
  `itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/viewContentsUserReviews/id${itunesItemId}?action=write-review`
);

Android

There is no equivalent redirect on Android, you can still open the Play Store to the reviews sections using the query parameter showAllReviews=true like this:

const androidPackageName = 'host.exp.exponent';
// Open the Android Play Store in the browser -> redirects to Play Store on Android
Linking.openURL(
  `https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=${androidPackageName}&showAllReviews=true`
);
// Open the Android Play Store directly
Linking.openURL(`market://details?id=${androidPackageName}&showAllReviews=true`);

API

import * as StoreReview from 'expo-store-review';
