iRate is an Objective-C library for iOS and Mac apps that prompts users to rate the app on the App Store after a period of usage. It automatically looks up the app via its bundle ID and displays a rating prompt, but the project is now deprecated.

Use cases

  • prompt users to rate my ios app after a few days of use
  • increase positive app store reviews from regular users
  • add an app store rating prompt to my mac app
  • automatically ask loyal users for app reviews
  • look up my app store id from the bundle identifier

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS or Mac app already using it
  • you need a simple, zero-configuration rating prompt for an old deployment target

When to avoid

  • starting a new project, since the library is deprecated with no future updates
  • you need SKStoreReviewController's native API on iOS 10.3+ or modern Swift solutions
  • you need bug fixes or ongoing support
