## What You'll Learn

* Request app reviews at the right moment with conditional prompting
* Configure smart timing constraints to avoid annoying users
* Handle platform review quotas (iOS 3x/year limit, Android restrictions)
* Use confirmation dialogs to protect against quota waste

## Why Rate My App Matters

* **Business impact**: Higher ratings improve app store visibility and conversion rates
* **UX impact**: Native dialogs feel integrated and trustworthy to users
* **Technical impact**: No custom native code needed - works on iOS and Android

## Tutorial Roadmap

1. [Setup](/features/rate-my-app/setup.md) - Enable the feature and configure rating constraints
2. [Usage](/features/rate-my-app/usage.md) - Auto-show vs manual prompts, confirmation dialogs, and timing
3. [Testing](https://github.com/voxelbusters/essential-kit-docs/blob/master/tutorials/v3/features/rate-my-app/testing.md) - Simulate in editor and verify on devices
4. [FAQ](/features/rate-my-app/faq.md) - Troubleshoot common issues

## Key Use Cases

* Show rating prompt after major achievements or level completions
* Request reviews when users demonstrate positive engagement patterns
* Protect review quota with optional confirmation dialogs before native prompts
* Re-prompt for ratings when new versions ship

## Prerequisites

* Unity project with Essential Kit v3 installed and Rate My App feature included in the build
* iOS or Android targets with app store IDs configured in Essential Kit Settings
* Understanding of platform review quotas (iOS: 3x/year max, Android: limited but undisclosed)
