Rate Your Android App using Google In-App Review API

 


In this article, we are going to learn how to implement in-app review functionality within your Android application using the newly introduced Google core in-app review API.

When a user is interacting with your application, you always want to get feedback from the user about user experience and UI/UX, etc. Feedback will give you hints about what your users think about your application.

Having superior reviews in your application makes a lot of impact on your app like good ranking in the play store and it also impresses a new user to trust and download your app more.

Step 1: in-app review recommendation and determination

One of the main advantages of in-app rating APIs is that you can ask the user for a rating anytime. Like most things, the best time to ask a user for a rating is when they’re most likely to respond the way you want. When we talk about app ratings, we want 5 stars for our app. Anything less is a miss. The best time to ask for a rating is when they have the most tremendous feelings about your app and users have successfully experienced your app’s primary goal. If your app is transactional-based, then you can ask for a review when the user completes a transaction within your app. If your app is content-based, it’s when they’ve viewed the best content they enjoyed and users get something from your app. These “best moments” are times when the emotional connection between your app and user is on the top, the user is very engaged with your app, and at this time the user provides genuine feedback about your app.

Here are some other in-app ratings best practices recommended by Google:

  • Don’t interrupt a user in the middle of a task or any process. Wait until they’ve completed the app’s primary task and reached the last step of the task.
    •  
  • Don’t give a rating prompt too early. Users will take some time to make a solid connection with your app before they can provide a meaningful review.
    •  
  • Don’t do it too frequently. Since users can choose to skip providing a rating, you will want to prompt them again after some time. But don’t ask again too early or too often, it will frustrate the users and can be given a poor rating. To protect the users from asking users frequently for review Google added limitations in the in-app API.
    •  
  • Beautiful UX design will reward you with positive ratings.

We have seen mistakes in apps developed by other IT companies that violate all these best practices recommended by Google. They ask for a rating at the very beginning of the app launch when you use the app and exactly in the middle of trying to complete a primary task. All this accomplishes is getting even more bad reviews.
