AppReview
A tiny Swift library for iOS and macOS to request App Store reviews with configurable launch and time conditions.
What is AppReview?
AppReview is a Swift library that helps iOS and macOS developers request App Store reviews from users at appropriate times. It wraps Apple's SKStoreReviewController and adds logic to conditionally show review prompts based on app launches or elapsed time, solving the problem of when to ask for reviews without annoying users.
iOS and macOS developers building apps distributed through the App Store who want to implement review prompts following Apple's guidelines.
Developers choose AppReview because it simplifies review prompt implementation with a clean API, ensures App Store compliance through native integration, and provides smart timing controls to improve user experience and review conversion rates.
