A drop-in button or label to politely encourage users to review your app on the App Store. Created by Pat Murray and inspired by Marco Arment's Overcast app:
The problem with how iOS apps ask for ratings has been long discussed online. Marco outlines, in his post How Overcast asks for reviews, a less intrusive way of asking for ratings. I implemented this is my app NCIS: Gibbs' Rules to much success.

Overview
Briefly
PMRatings can be used in two main ways:
- As a
UITableViewCellsubclass for adding an Overcast style button to your settings screen - To return a
NSStringto be used in your own controls.
PMRatings can be used in both locale independent or locale focused mode. Locale independent gets ratings from the US store, locale focused gets ratings from the user's local store. PMRatings caches the most up to date ratings count in NSUserDefaults.
Current State
Current version is pre-0.1. Much work is still to happen. I would not reccomend using this in any app (shipping or not)
