Anonymising podcast review queries

Hey folks, so I wanted to leave an anonymous (but constructive and in no way offensive) review on a podcast. Through checking out this forum I've seen how to edit the nickname which is great but I also feel that after clicking on my name and seeing things previously reviewed they would likely be able to work out it was me. Any way to hide that?


For the time being if I just give it a star rating and don't enter a review as such they can't see what username the star rating came from?

Hey FBalor,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


We see from your post that you're wanting to know how you can remain completely anonymous when leaving a podcast review in Apple Podcasts. We'd be happy to give you information on that.


For now the only way to change your name is the way you had mentioned and changing your nickname using these steps:


Account > View Account > Settings > Edit Nickname when you open iTunes. If you are not seeing the option, go ahead and try to review an item. This will give you the option to create a nickname and then you will have the option to change it available in iTunes.


If you just rate the podcast with the star rating, it will not show your name. Only if you leave a review attached.
