Dear app developers,
I have never had the desire to review an app. Prompting me to leave a review doe not make me want to do it any more. Making me click multiple times to dismiss your "nudge" and get back to using the app just makes me want to uninstall it.
Sincerely,
Every smartphone user ever

@malwarejake Apps that persistently nudge me to leave a review get a one-star review: "nagware, forces you to leave a review, DO NOT USE".

@cstross @malwarejake @chetwisniewski I especially detest the apps that nag me for a review *as part of the initial installation*, before I have ever used the app!

Free PSA for App Developers:
If you ask me for a review of your app, before I have exited the App Store during the installation process; you WILL get a One Star review. 😡😡😡
Your app may very well be the best app in the history of apps, but that kind of desperate begging for a rating and review; will absolutely backfire on you.
