tvOS app rating is not being shown

I am not able to rate tvOS app in appstore. Facing same issue as reported in How do I rate tvOS apps? - Apple Community


Application is free & available for download in appstore. What I wanted to know is

  1. Is this a bug in appstore app (I understand apple wont commit to ETA from end user) OR
  2. Apple has deliberately disable (if yes why) OR
  3. There is something I am missing (if yes what is that)?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

The rating system is for third party apps, not for (bundled) Apple apps.

Apps have to be rated in the iOS App Store. That excludes app that are exclusive to tvOS, or have a different App ID for tvOS.


Furthermore, the rating system is flawed (e.g. being ‘gamed’ by incentives from certain [game] developers), and is therefore quite useless. 5 stars doesn’t mean it’s good. 1-2 star may indicate dissatisfied users for issues unrelated to the app itself.
