# Expo StoreReview

A library that provides access to native APIs for in-app reviews.
Android, iOS, Included in Expo Go

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Use this file to discover all available pages.

`expo-store-review` is a library that provides access to `ReviewManager` API on Android 5+ and `SKStoreReviewController` API on iOS. It allows you to ask the user to rate your app without leaving the app itself.

## Installation

```sh
npx expo install expo-store-review
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules) in your project.

## Usage

It is important that you follow the [Human Interface Guidelines](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ratings-and-reviews) for iOS and [Guidelines](https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review#when-to-request) for Android when using this API.

**Specifically:**

-   Don't call `StoreReview.requestReview()` from a button - instead try calling it after the user has finished some signature interaction in the app.
-   Don't spam the user.
-   Don't request a review when the user is doing something time sensitive like navigating.
-   Don't ask the user any questions before or while presenting the rating button or card.

### Write reviews

#### Android

There is no equivalent redirect on Android, you can still open the Play Store to the reviews sections using the query parameter `showAllReviews=true` like this:

```ts
const androidPackageName = 'host.exp.exponent';
// Open the Android Play Store in the browser -> redirects to Play Store on Android
Linking.openURL(
  `https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=${androidPackageName}&showAllReviews=true`
);
// Open the Android Play Store directly
Linking.openURL(`market://details?id=${androidPackageName}&showAllReviews=true`);
```

#### iOS

You can redirect an app user to the **"Write a Review"** screen for an app in the iOS App Store by using the query parameter `action=write-review`. For example:

```ts
const itunesItemId = 982107779;
// Open the iOS App Store in the browser -> redirects to App Store on iOS
Linking.openURL(`https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id${itunesItemId}?action=write-review`);
// Open the iOS App Store directly
Linking.openURL(
  `itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/viewContentsUserReviews/id${itunesItemId}?action=write-review`
);
```

## API

```js
import * as StoreReview from 'expo-store-review';
```

## Methods

### `StoreReview.hasAction()`

Supported platforms: Android, iOS.

Returns: `Promise<boolean>`

This returns a promise that fulfills to `true` if `StoreReview.requestReview()` is capable directing the user to some kind of store review flow. If the app config (`app.json`) does not contain store URLs and native store review capabilities are not available then the promise will fulfill to `false`.

Example

```ts
if (await StoreReview.hasAction()) {
  // you can call StoreReview.requestReview()
}
```

### `StoreReview.isAvailableAsync()`

Supported platforms: Android, iOS.

Determines if the platform has the capabilities to use `StoreReview.requestReview()`.

Returns: `Promise<boolean>`

This returns a promise fulfills with `boolean`, depending on the platform:

-   On iOS, it will resolve to `true` unless the app is distributed through TestFlight.
-   On Android, it will resolve to `true` if the device is running Android 5.0+.
-   On Web, it will resolve to `false`.

### `StoreReview.requestReview()`

Supported platforms: Android, iOS.

In ideal circumstances this will open a native modal and allow the user to select a star rating that will then be applied to the App Store, without leaving the app. If the device is running a version of Android lower than 5.0, this will attempt to get the store URL and link the user to it.

Returns: `Promise<void>`

### `StoreReview.storeUrl()`

Supported platforms: Android, iOS.

This uses the `Constants` API to get the `Constants.expoConfig.ios.appStoreUrl` on iOS, or the `Constants.expoConfig.android.playStoreUrl` on Android.

On Web this will return `null`.

Returns: `string | null`

## Error codes

### `ERR_STORE_REVIEW_FAILED`

This error occurs when the store review request was not successful.
