One of the annoyances that we can see in the apps that we download from the App Store and the Mac App Store is that We receive app review requests in these stores. Each app can only do this three times a year, but we have so many apps installed that it feels like we’re constantly being asked to post a rating. It’s usually something that completely interrupts what we’re doing, so it can be irritating.
The good news is that as users, Apple allows us to prevent developers from asking us for these reviews. Let’s see how to do it on iOS / iPadOS and Mac.

In the window that will open, you have the option ‘Ratings and reviews in the app‘, which you will deactivate so that no one can ask you for these evaluations:
Ready, if we keep these options turned off on all of our devices, apps won’t be able to ask us to review them. Developers do it because a set of positive reviews allows you to stand out in the catalogBut we have long heard complaints about the inconvenience caused by such requests. Fortunately, Apple itself gives us options to block it.
