📝 Introduction
Want to ask users to rate your app without leaving it? With In-App Review API, you can show a Google Play-style rating dialog directly inside your Android app!
In this post, you’ll learn how to implement In-App Review using Kotlin and Google Play Core libraries — clean, user-friendly, and no redirects required.
🚀 What Is In-App Review?
In-App Review allows users to rate your app from inside the app itself, using the Google Play rating dialog.
✅ Seamless
✅ Official & Safe
✅ No need to open Play Store manually
⚠️ Note: Google decides when to show the dialog. It may not appear every time to prevent spam.
✅ Step-by-step: Best Way to Use In-App Review (Kotlin + KTX)
🔹 1. Add Dependency
To prompt users only after meaningful engagement (e.g., after 5 app launches or completing a specific task), you can use SharedPreferences to track usage and only call the in-app review flow after a threshold is met.
🔹 2. Track App Launch Count Using SharedPreferences
🔹 3. Request In-App Review (if Threshold Reached)
🔹 4. Call These Functions in Your MainActivity
✅ Result:
- The review prompt will show only after 5 launches.
- It will never repeat after one successful prompt.
