App store link for rate review this app

Question

I want to put a  rate review this app  feature into my app   Is there a way to link directly to the screen in the app store where they review the app   So the customer doesn t have to click through the main app link   Thanks   EDIT  starting a bounty on this due to the lack of response   Just to make sure it is crystal clear   I am aware that I can link to my app s page in the store  and ask the user to click from there to the  review this app  screen   The question is whether it is possible to link directly to the  review this app  screen so they don t have to click through anything

All previous links no more direct to  Reviews  tab   This link would direct to  Reviews Tab  directly     https   itunes apple com app viewContentsUserReviews id AppID  or    itms-apps   itunes apple com app viewContentsUserReviews id AppID

If your app has been approved for Beta and it s not live then the app review link is available but it won t be live to leave reviews    Log into iTunes Connect Click My Apps Click the App Icon your interested in Make sure your on the App Store page  Go toApp Information section  it should automatically take you there  At the bottom of that page there is a blue link that says View on App Store  Click it and it will open to an a blank page  Copy what s in the url bar at the top of the page and that s your app reviews link  It will be live once the app is live

EDIT  iOS 11 Solution  This is the solution to my original answer  see below   When using the iOS 11 the following link format will work   https   itunes apple com us app appName idAPP ID mt 8 amp action write-review   Simply replace APP ID with your specific app ID  The key to make the link work is the country code  The link above uses the us code but it actually doesn t matter which code is used  The user will automatically be redirected to his store    iOS 11 Update   It seems that none of the solutions presented in the other answers to get directly to the Review Page works on iOS 11    The problem most likely is  that an app page in the iOS 11 App Store app does NOT have a Review Tab anymore  Instead the reviews are now located directly below the description and the screenshots  Of course it could still be possible to reach this section directly  e g  with some kind of anchor   but it seems that this is not supported   intended by Apple    Using one of the following links does not work anymore  They still bring the users to the App Store app but only to a blank page   itms-apps   itunes apple com app idYOUR APP ID action write-review itms-apps   itunes apple com WebObjects MZStore woa wa viewContentsUserReviews id YOUR APP ID amp onlyLatestVersion true amp pageNumber 0 amp sortOrdering 1 amp type Purple Software   Everyone how still uses these links should update their apps ASAP  because referring the users to a blank App Store page is most likely not what you intended    Links which do not refer to the Review page but to the App page  still work however  e g    itms-apps   itunes apple com app idYOUR APP ID    same as above  but without write-review parameter    So  you can still get the users to your apps Store page  but not directly to the review section anymore  Users now have to scroll down to the review section manually to leave their feedback    Without a question this a  great and awesome benefit for User Experience and will help developers to engage users to leave high quality reviews without annoying them   Well done Apple

Solution for iOS 11  Short App Store URLs do not correctly open the  write a review  interface in the new iOS 11 App Store  For example  this does not work   https   itunes apple com app id333903271 mt 8 amp action write-review  The workaround is to include a two-letter country code and app name in the URL  such as this    https   itunes apple com us app twitter id333903271 mt 8 action write-review   or    itms-apps   itunes apple com us app twitter id333903271 mt 8 action write-review   You can get the full URL of your app from here  https   linkmaker itunes apple com   This successfully opens the  write a review  interface in the iOS 11 App Store   Edit  As  Theo mentions below  the country code does not need to be localized and the app name in the URL does not need to be updated if the app name changes   Hopefully Apple will fix this soon for the shorter URL  See rdar   34498138

quote from Apple Developer Documentation     In addition  you can continue to include a persistent link in the   settings or configuration screens of your app that deep-links to your   App Store product page  To automatically open a page on which users   can write a review in the App Store  append the query parameter   action write-review to your product URL    So the URL would be the following      itms-apps   itunes apple com app idYOUR APP ID action write-review

Starting in iOS 10 3   import StoreKit  func someFunction      SKStoreReviewController requestReview       but its has been just released with 10 3  so you will still need some fallback method for older versions as described above

All above approaches are correct  but nowadays using SKStoreProductViewController leads to better user experience  To use it you need to do the following     implement SKStoreProductViewControllerDelegate protocol in your app delegate add required productViewControllerDidFinish method   -  void productViewControllerDidFinish  SKStoreProductViewController   viewController      viewController dismissViewControllerAnimated  YES completion  nil      Check if SKStoreProductViewController class is available and either show it or switch to the App Store   extern NSString  cAppleID     must be defined somewhere     if   SKStoreProductViewController class     nil      SKStoreProductViewController  skpvc     SKStoreProductViewController new  autorelease     skpvc delegate   self    NSDictionary  dict    NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject  cAppleID forKey  SKStoreProductParameterITunesItemIdentifier      skpvc loadProductWithParameters  dict completionBlock  nil       self  viewController  presentViewController  skpvc animated  YES completion  nil     else     static NSString  const iOS7AppStoreURLFormat     itms-apps   itunes apple com app id       static NSString  const iOSAppStoreURLFormat     itms-apps   itunes apple com WebObjects MZStore woa wa viewContentsUserReviews type Purple Software amp id        NSString  url     NSString alloc  initWithFormat     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion floatValue   gt   7 0f    iOS7AppStoreURLFormat   iOSAppStoreURLFormat  cAppleID       UIApplication sharedApplication  openURL   NSURL URLWithString  url

There is a new way to do this in iOS 11   new app store   You can open the  Write a Review  dialog directly   iOS 11 example   itms-apps   itunes apple com us app id1137397744 action write-review   or  https   itunes apple com us app id1137397744 action write-review   Notes    A country code is required   us    It can be any country code  doesn t matter  Change the app id  1137397744  to your app id  get it from iTunes URL   If you want to support older iOS version  pre 11   you ll want some conditional logic to only link this way if the OS version is great than or equal to 11
