What a rebel.
LerryV2
That and notification ads.

If the app asks you if you like it. Always pick the “no” option. Most of the time it won’t even ask for a review and will stop asking.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Why'd you rate us less than 5 stars? Hey! Why? Hey! Come on, answer!"
NachoPete
See... this is exactly why.
ACSwineburne
Like YouTube ads asking me to up or down vote... I've downvoted every last one of them, sometimes don't even know what the ad's for.
localdisturbance
Thank you for the idea!
Sammyv17
It's annoying when you've used the app for 5 minutes and it asks you to rate it.
mecirae
Got an app that wants me to give it ”5 stars or rate later”. Hate it but need the app.
INeedAnUserNameButNoneIsFree
I give a 1 star and leave "WON'T STOP BUGGING ME TO RATE THIS APP, SO HERE. 1 STAR ENJOY."comment.
sfr33man
that's super helpful
ryoshibill7
Same
powernapsRgr8t
give it 1 star, it remembers it, never opens, then you are saying to yourself; this was the best app ever.
Thatoneguywayoverthere
Oh you scoundrel
UhDurDurDurDur
Do you at least tell them why?
DanJonesKing
Unless it's a game and they give extra goodies for a 5 star rating. And once you get the goodies you change it to 1 star.
BazzyBaz
I bet you had to pay a pile of money for that free app as well.
BunnyBooBear69
Ahhh, the popups. Wanna know a good way to make me not wanna go to a website again? Ask if you can send me push notifications. Big. Nope.
glassweaver
You can permanently disable all sites from soliciting them under advanced settings > content settings in Chrome.
Brocktooon
OK if you paid for the app, but you're a dick if you do this for a free one.
woogigooie
thankfully they generall have a "dont show again" button so i dont have to rate something

I automatically thumbs down YouTube ads. Fuck you I just want to watch disneyworld videos.
Sugarblade
I dislike any YouTube video that asks me to like it.

Make sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon. We noticed that 78.9% of you are not subscribed. Please do so since that would really help.
SillySnowFox
Same. Also apps that abuse notifications to push ads at me.

Not right now.

1 I do that with Amazon purchases when the seller keeps nagging me. Look bitch, I just got your fucking item. I'll write a review
spaghettiThunderbolt
My favorite are when they send mass emails to handle product questions, so 90% of the answers given are "I don't know, I don't have one."
nicilaskin
those messages are send on auto , has mostly nothing to do with the seller . You are just making amazon punish them ( each one star counts -
If you rate the seller badly yeah, but if you rate the item badly how does that punish the seller except for the item not being well rated?
Skreamies
I usually get those messages before my product even arrives and I'm on prime next day.
2 after about a month when I've had time to actually use it.
angrybook
I write a review when a product / seller is either really good or really bad. If a nagger sends three emails they get a bad one. That's spam
Ungodlylongusernamefornogoodreasoninparticular
I like when I get bugged to review before it even makes it to my door
Valkyr1987
That's a guaranteed bad review
Upierczi
What if an app asks you explicitedly not to rate it?
Rawrwha
Then of course I'm giving 5 ???? and a wordy review.
Do not paypal me $20. That's an order.
ArcadeAnarchy
Don't send nudes please.

I only get this petty if the app ask for a rating in the first 2 minutes. FFS let me at least get it set up first.
flassk
ESPECIALLY if it keeps asking me after i fucking gave it a rating.
VaultDweller
Yuuup. Every 5th time using it.
i'm lookin' at you, Outlook
ISaidSarcastically
As a developer, I don’t blame you. But it’s really the only way to maybe get positive feedback. No one rates an app until they hate it
This is why I like apps that ask once with options "yes, no, don't ask again" and makes the choice persist even if uninstall / reinstall.
HardcoreAlGore
He said, sarcastically.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
It's kinda cheating to ask if the user likes the app before you redirect them to the rating page. Also it interrupts use and changes the...
active app to the app store or web browser and you have to hike back to where you came from which is EXTREMELY frustrating.
Maybe query a flag on your web site so you can stop asking once you have sufficient positive ratings.
This is what I do with receipt surveys. There's a restaurant I go to once a day. Gave them zeroes for 2 weeks straight due to bad service.
TrekMadone
Fair enough. I get surveyed as well and I didn't my best to earn a good rating
And on that note, I wish more people would take them. Name dropping is such a quick, easy way to give someone meaningful props.
(It's McDonalds. Only one around. 4/5 times, order was wrong. Complaining didn't change anythng, but shitting on their survey scores did!)
HappyBucket
Why? I get it if they are extremely pushy with it, but asking for feedback to me is appreciated AND *very* important for the dev.
Also, I'm not a fan of when apps(games in particular) ask me to rate it prematurely. Do it when I'm invested into the game.
Not when I'm still figuring shit out and hardly got a clue what the hell is going on.
ifyouthinkthatswierdwellletmetellyouimfrombosnia
It's a bit funny but as an multimedia design student these ratings have a purpose. We adjust and tweak based on research meaning that 1/2
if people keep falsely rating things we have no visible indication on how to improve an app that you are using, so next time you have 2/3
an app that doesn't work or has some stupid functionality, you can thank people like OP who make developing stuff much harder
Corona688
Here's one way to improve it: Stop pushing notifications. People really hate those.
Here's one way to get rid of a notification. Just rate it once, and it probably won't pop up anytime soon
So it rewards me for giving it an automatic 0/5? Awesome
Seriously, if you want honest reviews, incentivize it somehow. Force people and you get shit data.
