[PLUGIN] - Rating Prompt (native mobile)

Hi,

Just outlining the details for another new mobile plugin, it’s called Rating Prompt (native mobile) and lets your app ask users to rate it on the App Store and Google Play, from a single action. It works on iOS, Android, and inside a web wrapper (BubbleGo).

There’s not much to it really, you simply pop the element onto your page as you would do with any visual element, and then run the Request rating action whenever you want to direct users to the appropriate store for them to write a review.

Video for iOS
(on an Android device, it will open up the Google Play store)

At some point in the next couple of months, I’ve been told Bubble will add in the “expo-store-review” library. When this happens, the plugin will automatically detect it and be able to display the native cards without redirecting, as shown below. Right now this is not possible until it’s added.

There’s a mode setting in the action which will allow you to change this behaviour. It defaults to “Store redirect” now, and the “Native prompt” option will be available soon.

Setting Description
Mode How the prompt behaves. “Native prompt” attempts the OS star card and falls back to a store redirect when the card is unavailable. “Store redirect” always opens the store review screen. If left blank, the plugin behaves as “Native prompt”.
App ID / package The app’s identifier for the store. On iOS this is the numeric App Store ID (for example, 1234567890). On Android this is the package name (for example, com.yourcompany.yourapp).
Web store Only used when the app runs inside a web wrapper, where there is no operating system to detect. Choose “iOS” to send web users to the App Store, or “Android” to send them to Google Play. Ignored on real devices.

Hope it’s of some use!

Paul
