Announcing new Pro Course: Android In-App Review

It's frustrating, isn't it? Months, if not years, of your hard work and dedication on an app all comes down to one thing: getting those positive ratings on the Play Store. And, paradoxically, people who absolutely love your app are the least likely to leave a review. It's madness!

Make your way to more five-star reviews in our new Android In-App Review course!

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor Filip Babić:

Why should I take your Android In-App Review course?

"No matter how good your code is, once you publish the app on the Play Store, its quality is determined by user reviews and ratings. Sometimes these reviews can be overwhelmingly positive and give your app a boost. Other times, they can be negative reviews from frustrated users. Sadly, most users won't leave a positive review unless you encourage them!

Your ratings are important, so it's crucial that you engage your users and ask them for reviews. App reviews are usually done through the Play Store, meaning your users have to leave the app, write a review and then come back to whatever they were doing at the time — a lengthy process that most users won't bother to follow.

But with the In-App Review feature you'll learn about in this course, you can speed up the entire process, by showing a review prompt directly in your app. By learning how to utilize IAR, you'll be able to increase your app rating by engaging your users more effectively!"

How have you used In-App Review in your projects?

"I recently implemented the In-App Review feature for our raywenderlich.com app, and we've seen many positive reviews come out of it.

Because users feel more enticed to rate the app, right after finishing a course, our app now has a much improved rating. Instead of having to manually engage with every single user, and take up more of their time, it's far easier to engage through a dialog that's directly bound to the app!

Can you please share a cool In-App Review tip with us?

"By caching the reviewInfo, which you use to show an In-App Review dialog, you can be sure that you are able to show the dialog at any point in time.

You can prefetch the data using the following snippet of code:

Using a simple requestReviewFlow() call, you can fetch the data and check if the process was successful. If it was, you can store the info for later use, or decide to immediately request the In-App Review dialog!"

Are there any final tips to share about your Android In-App Review course?

"Make sure to follow best practices when it comes to using the In-App Review feature. Find a really good place in your app, where users receive recognition about their actions, and make sure to direct those positive moments into asking for reviews. You're more likely to gain a high rating that way.

This is a simple user experience trick that you can use to increase your overall Play Store rating and gain better traction for your app!"
