A snapshot of current reviews for the latest version of the Kobo iOS app – our most well-received release to date! (via Tyler Bindon’s CommentCast iTunes review collector)
I was fairly sceptical about the reception the new ‘rate this app’ dialog in the Kobo app would have, but it appears to be working nicely. For about the first time ever, people who like the app are actually giving us reviews, with the result that it’s now among the highest-rated apps in the Books section of the iTunes store.
As for the annoyance factor of the dialog? Well, talk to me in a month and we’ll see what happens. My feeling is that although I don’t like such things, if you have an enthusiastic user base then it will be seen simply as a friendly reminder rather than a cudgel beating them over the head. And it certainly looks like it’s working…
