Usage

1.Setup SwiftRater in AppDelegate.swift. After setting up, call SwiftRater.appLaunched().

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 7
        SwiftRater.usesUntilPrompt = 10
        SwiftRater.significantUsesUntilPrompt = 3
        SwiftRater.daysBeforeReminding = 1
        SwiftRater.showLaterButton = true
        SwiftRater.debugMode = true
        SwiftRater.appLaunched()

        return true
    }

If you are using SwiftUI, create AppDelegate class that inherits UIApplicationDelegate and configure SwiftRater there. (Thanks @markgravity for the suggetion)

@main
struct YourApp: App {
    @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate

    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {
    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
        SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 7
        SwiftRater.usesUntilPrompt = 10
        SwiftRater.significantUsesUntilPrompt = 3
        SwiftRater.daysBeforeReminding = 1
        SwiftRater.showLaterButton = true
        SwiftRater.debugMode = true
        SwiftRater.appLaunched()
        return true
    }
}
Property Description
daysUntilPrompt Shows review request if daysUntilPrompt days passed since first app launch.
usesUntilPrompt Shows review request if users launch more than usesUntilPrompt times.
significantUsesUntilPrompt Shows review request if user does significant actions more than significantUsesUntilPrompt

You can set properties you want to apply.

Property Description
debugMode Shows review request every time. Default false, need to set false when you submit app to AppStore.
conditionsMetMode Possible values: .any, .all (default)
Setting this to .any allows the prompt to be shown when any one or more of your criteria have been met.
showLaterButton Show Later button in review request dialong, valid for iOS10.2 or before devices.
daysBeforeReminding Days until reminder popup if the user chooses rate later, valid for iOS10.2 or before devices.

2.Call SwiftRater.check() in viewDidAppear of ViewController where you want to show review request dialog. If conditions are met, SwiftRater will show review request popup.

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        SwiftRater.check()
    }

3(Optional).For significantUsesUntilPrompt, you need to add SwiftRater.incrementSignificantUsageCount in siginificant action for your app.

func postComment() {
    // do something ..

	SwiftRater.incrementSignificantUsageCount()
}

4(Optional).Call SwiftRater.rateApp(host:) to let your users to review your app on the App Store/in your app directly.

func rateButtonDidClick(sender: UIButton) {
    // do something ..

	SwiftRater.rateApp(host: self)
}

Example

This example states that the rating request is only shown when the app has been launched 5 times and after 7 days, remind 5 days after if later selected.

SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 7
SwiftRater.usesUntilPrompt = 5
SwiftRater.daysBeforeReminding = 5
SwiftRater.appLaunched()

If you wanted to show the request after 5 days only and remind 7 days after if later selected, you can set the following:

SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 5
SwiftRater.daysBeforeReminding = 7
SwiftRater.appLaunched()

If you wanted to show the rquest after a user performs 10 significant actions before 5 days or 5 uses have passed:

SwiftRater.conditionsMetMode = .any
SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 5
SwiftRater.usesUntilPrompt = 5
SwiftRater.significantUsesUntilPrompt = 10

Customize text

You can customize text in review request dialog for iOS10.2 or before devices. Set text in following properties.

  • SwiftRater.alertTitle
  • SwiftRater.alertMessage
  • SwiftRater.alertCancelTitle
  • SwiftRater.alertRateTitle
  • SwiftRater.alertRateLaterTitle
  • SwiftRater.appName

Country code

If your app is only avaiable for some coutnries, please add country code at Setup phase.

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 7
        SwiftRater.usesUntilPrompt = 10

        SwiftRater.countryCode = "fr"

        SwiftRater.debugMode = true
        SwiftRater.appLaunched()
        return true
    }

App ID

Optional, you can set App ID explicitly. If not, SwiftRater will get App ID from appstore by bundle ID.

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        SwiftRater.daysUntilPrompt = 7
        SwiftRater.usesUntilPrompt = 10

        SwiftRater.appID = "1104775712"

        SwiftRater.debugMode = true
        SwiftRater.appLaunched()
        return true
    }

Demo

You can find Demo app in this repo.
