This app became a universal app for iPhone and iPad and the code continued to work fine even on the iPad. Now I have another app which is iPad-only. It looks like the page at "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=APP_ID&onlyLatestVersion=true&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software" only exists for iPhone and Universal Apps and so this doesn't work anymore. Do you know of any alternative urls? Maybe an url that opens the app in the app store but scrolls down to the user ratings section? I use the appirater code for an iPhone app for a few months now.

So... it's not really a good system. Reminding people to rate, and bringing them to the rating screen is perfect. Even if they don't rate, it's still good to know a lot of your customers are going to at least see the reminder.

I added this recently to an app (awaiting approval), since people need a little reminder. The apple docs only mention opening an "http://" link to launch the App Store but that seems to open/close safari quickly before going to the App Store, so this is a nice improvement. Nice.

Like every other dev I am a user too and from experience I can attest that leaving reviews isn't a priority at all :/ I still have a todo to write some reviews. Sadly Apple makes this unnecessarly cumbersome. Writing on the iPhone is a chore which favors short reviews and iTunes doesn't allow you to write more reviews at once from your Applications area.
