Tired of apps interrupting you with requests to rate and review? This episode with Thomas Domville will show you how to take control.
This iOS feature lets app developers ask you to rate and review their apps directly within the app. While helpful for developers, these pop-ups can be a nuisance , especially if they appear frequently.
How to Disable In-App Ratings & Reviews:
Find the Native Settings app and Double Tap to Open Settings
Now Swipe Right until you find the AppStore button and Double Tap to open
Locate by swiping right until you get to the "In-App Ratings & Reviews" and toggle the switch to the off position (
Remember: Disabling this feature only stops the in-app prompts. You can still search for apps in the App Store and leave ratings and reviews manually if you'd like to share your feedback.

Hello and welcome.
My name is Thomas Donville also known as AnonyMouse.
Hey have you been in this position where like myself I keep opening up different apps and it just seems like one form or another is always popping up hey would you like to review this app and give the app some rating and you know I do this every so often and when I'm in a good mood or whatever not or if I feel like the app really deserved to have a rating I want to go ahead and give that rating but the thing I don't like is that it just keeps coming up every so often so I feel like that there needs to be a balance and I need to and I will vote and give you a rating when I am ready to do that so if you are one of those people you see these little pop-ups and it seems like it's popping up everywhere have no fear there is a nice little settings that we can just simply turn on and off to disable this pop-up so let me to show you where that's at and we're gonna head right over to settings settings double tap to open and let's do that one finger don't tap to open up settings settings and now we are going to to go to the right and she get to App Store App Store button yep it's way down there but once we find it go ahead and do one finger double tap on this allow App Store to access heading now you're gonna keep swiping to the right until you find a button for in app rating and review in app ratings and reviews switch button on double tap to toggle setting all we got to do is one finger double tap just to turn this off off and voila now you have this set off now of course when this is set off you'll never get that pop-up again however now in saying that and I want to make this pretty clear is that I know the developers out there are probably screaming at me for suggesting anything like this to you because I get it because what they want they want you to rate it as often as you can because that gives them more visibility and that leads to more downloads and more sales to them so I get that but I believe in a fair balance that I am able to do a few votes but I don't want to be pester all the time so that is the option why I can turn that on and off and keep in mind there's a lot of apps out there if you just go into the apps that you like and then go into into settings or about area they typically have a little…
