Q: Can't review apps (that I purchased through App Store)

The Mac App Store isn’t letting me rate apps, even for the apps that I purchased through it. I’ve tried it with free and paid apps, and I can neither give apps star ratings, nor write reviews. Clicking stars does nothing, and when I click “Write a Review” it just jumps me to the top of the current MAS page and that’s it.

I found in a search that some iTunes users a few months back were seeing very similar behavior in iTunes, but I haven’t come across any threads concerning the MAS.

Before I file a bug report with Apple, has anybody else seen this?

Mac Pro (early 2008) / MacBook Air 11" (2010), Mac OS X (10.6), (...and fond memories of an Apple ][+)

    Apple doesn't want to make too easy i guess. i really like when u d/l some 'free' app BUT u can't use unless u pay? that's not free!

    also, i have the newest ipad, i like that apple wants to nickel n dime me 4.99 for garageband. NO THNX!

    others r complaining too. like book Air n Pro... almost no software comes on it... for $1100-$1800?!

    keep doing it Apple... drive customers away.

    COME ON! Apple's are EXPENSIVE to begin with.

    Okay, I found the workaround -- you can't review it from the most logical place, from AppStore/Purchased Apps.  You have to go to AppStore/Featured, search for the app, select the name, then Ratings & Reviews/Write a Review.

     

    It logically should be available from Purchased Apps - end of story.

     

    I remember the days when Apple actually considered making an excellent user interface to be among their top three priorities and skills...

     

    Love my Nexus 4 and my next tablet will be a Nexus as well.

    Yahoo mail app  Free

    I have been trying to rate this app only to find that it will not allow me to review it.  Three weeks ago I submitted a review and today I tried to submit another but the review form has my previous review text indicating that it was not published.  It is not in the list of the reviews in any of the categories.

    I am having the same problem as MamaLydia in May of 2011, above -- the send button greys out as soon as I type anything in any box on the app review form.
