## What it is
Armchair is a Swift library for iOS and OS X apps that intelligently prompts users to write App Store reviews. It lets developers define customizable rules so review requests appear only after users have demonstrated satisfaction, counteracting negatively skewed ratings.

## Use cases
- prompt users to rate my iOS app after meaningful usage
- avoid negative-skewed App Store reviews by asking happy users
- customize when review prompts appear in my Swift app
- sync review prompt state across a user's devices
- localize app review prompts in many languages

## When to choose
- you ship iOS or OS X apps on the App Store and want more positive reviews
- you want fully runtime-configurable, rule-based review prompting in Swift
- you need multi-device prompt deduplication or built-in localization

## When to avoid
- your app targets platforms other than iOS/macOS
- you need a maintained solution with active development and modern SKStoreReviewController integration
- you prefer Objective-C without bridging headers
