In-App Rating Dialog API

Ask your users for a Google Play review: trigger a native "Rate this app" dialog from your web app via rateapp:// or let WebViewGold show it automatically.

Positive Google Play reviews are one of the most powerful growth drivers for your app. The In-App Rating Dialog API of WebViewGold lets you ask your users for a rating at exactly the right moment — for example, right after a successful purchase or after they completed a task in your web app.

Option 1: Trigger the rating dialog manually from your web app

Call the following URL from an HTML link or from JavaScript to show a native "Rate this app" dialog:

<a href="rateapp://">Enjoying the app? Rate us!</a>

window.location.href = "rateapp://";

If the user confirms the dialog, the Google Play page of your app opens so they can leave a review. For this to work, set RATE_MY_APP_URL in Config.java to the Google Play URL of your app:

public static final String RATE_MY_APP_URL = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yourcompany.yourapp";

Note: If RATE_MY_APP_URL is empty, rateapp:// calls are ignored. The title and message of the dialog can be customized via the rate_title and rate_message entries in strings.xml.

Option 2: Let WebViewGold ask automatically

WebViewGold can also show a "Rate this app" prompt automatically after the user has used your app for a while. Configure this behavior in Config.java:

• SHOW_RATE_DIALOG — set to true to enable the automatic rating prompt (or false to disable it).
• RATE_DAYS_UNTIL_PROMPT — minimum number of days after installation before the prompt is displayed.
• RATE_LAUNCHES_UNTIL_PROMPT — minimum number of app launches before the prompt is displayed.

Typical Use Cases:

• Ask for a review right after a positive interaction (completed order, level up, successful booking).
• Show your own custom "Do you like the app?" flow on your website first, and only send happy users to rateapp://.
