Still We are still hungover over the first Keynote of Apple's World Wide Developers Conference. The Cupertino company presented us with iOS 11, an operating system that, without making major changes, is adding major changes to the operating system, making it more functional and taking away much of the meaning of what until now was the Jailbreak. we have no doubt.
We already knew about in-App reviews as a Pop-Up since iOS 10.3, despite the fact that their presence has been testimonial and not very representative. Nevertheless, With the arrival of iOS 11, the review implementation model within the applications themselves is mandatory.
And this is strictly due to the fact that Apple has modified the rules in the contract and the guide on reviews in the App Store that it provides to all developers within the developer website. This is how they express it in the document:
You must use the API with which we provide developers, so that users can leave a review about your app. This functionality allows users to give a review in the App Store without the inconvenience of having to leave your application. In this way, we will deactivate the notifications that prompted users to leave a review.
This means that the developers will have to definitively abandon the previous method of publication of reviews.
What improvements does the new review system bring
They are evident, not only the fact of not having to leave the application to leave a score, but also it will also help more and more users to leave their scores. This may alter the quality review performance in the iOS App Store for better or worse, but we must wait a little longer to see how the experiment that Apple has proposed is working.
