What problem does it solve?
App Store ratings behave in ways most developers learn the hard way: ratings are isolated per storefront, resets destroy rating counts permanently, and unphased releases can turn one bad build into a 1-star flood. This Skill provides the strategy layer for protecting and growing an app's rating.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Per-Storefront Rules: Explains why ratings never transfer between countries and how to plan prompting and review seeding when entering new markets.
- Reset and Release Guidance: Details why the ratings summary reset is almost always a mistake, and how phased release plus manual release limit damage from bad builds.
- Prompt-and-Reply Loop: Covers when to trigger requestReview, how replies convert updated 1-star reviews into higher scores, and how to audit ratings posture per storefront.
- Use Case: You launch in Japan and see no rating despite 2,000 US ratings. Use this Skill to build a localized prompting and reply plan for that storefront instead of assuming social proof carried over.
Quick Start
