Write Review on iPhone App Store (iOS 10.1.1)

It's an issue with the nickname. I just trouble-shooted this issue with co-workers who were'n't able to write reviews on their iPhones or iPads.

If you try to write a review from your iOS device and your nickname has already been taken, your device does not tell you that. The work-around I figured out, is to launch iTunes on your desktop. Add 'Apps' (screen shot below) to the drop down menu (select Edit Menu) if they don't show up along with Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, etc.

Select Apps, then search for your app in the Search bar at the top of iTunes. When you find your app, click on it and then click on 'Ratings and Reviews'. Then click 'Write a Review'. If your nickname has been taken, it will show you that and all you have to do is create a new nickname and then submit your review.

Nice find, but this is no work-around!! I have tried to leave reviews for a number of apps on my iPhone with no success. As a developer, I have also asked some family and friends to check out my game and leave a review/rating, and the large majority of them that cannot successfully post their review or rating. What point is there in only allowing Mac laptop/computer users to leave reviews through iTunes when the app is only available on iPhones and iPads?

I have seen this complaint on numerous forums for years and have yet to see a viable solution for iPhone/iPad users, which is incredibly lame. C'mon Apple - get your act together on this!!

I just wanted to write a review I’m pleased with iPhone 6 but it slowing down just so I’ll have to buy the newest model makes me want to go to Android I’m too far from a Fkin Apple store to get it “fixed so it goes faster it used to charge fully within 30 mins or less now it’s a **** hour

Apple is a horrible horrible horrible company gave my phone in for repair and they saying they not got it after first telling me it's repair and ready to send back to me.

Horrible horrible company

Just lost a I phone ×

Hello,

I had a similar issue to this. Every time I would attempt to leave a review, I was unable to. I would give a certain amount of stars, put in a title, and a description. When I hit the ‘send’ button, I got a text box that came up and said, ‘Enter a nickname’. I typed in two different nicknames, and hit send. Both times that I attempted this, the box would close but the review would stay up.

I closed the App Store and reopened it, then typed in my review again. When I did it the third time, I used another nickname, and was able to finally submit it. After I pressed send, the review closed and it gave me a confirmation that said my review had been submitted.

Hope this helps!

I had this issue too but i found that it’s due to the nickname you use. The app will not allow the same user to write multreviews so if the name you choose is really common like “annoyed user” or “John” it will not post. Try adding random numbers or characters for you post to go through.

Seriously Apple! Get your **** together. Implement a pop up to tell the reviewer why review won't go through (username is already taken).

I'm not able to see the "Apps" option. Any workaround for that too? Seems they have removed it in the iTunes version 12.7.2.60 😟

I’ve attached the screen recording of app reviewing.

Users are trying to review my app. They write the review and click send. The send doesn’t work. What is happening?
