Game rating

You can ask users to rate your game and write a comment in a pop-up window (it appears when you ask for the game to be rated, overlaying the app background). The pop-up window isn't displayed to logged-out users or those who rated the game before.

Before asking for a game review, make sure that this option is available for the user.

Check whether the rating option is available

To find out if you can request a rating, use the ysdk.feedback.canReview() method.

The method returns a Promise<Object> that changes its state to resolved. The returned object contains the value key set to true/false, which you can use to see whether a rating request is possible:

• value: true: You can request a rating.

• value: false: You cannot request a rating. The reason for rejection is returned as a string in the reason key:

  • NO_AUTH: The user is logged out.
  • GAME_RATED: The user has already rated the game.
  • REVIEW_ALREADY_REQUESTED: The request has already been sent, not awaiting the user's action.
  • REVIEW_WAS_REQUESTED: The request has already been sent, the user has taken action by either rating your game or closing the popup.
  • UNKNOWN: The request couldn't be sent, an error occurred on the Yandex side.

Rating request

To ask the user for a rating, use the ysdk.feedback.requestReview() method.

The method returns a Promise<Object> that changes its state to resolved. The returned object contains the feedbackSent key set to true/false value, which you can use to see whether the user has rated the game (true) or closed the pop-up window (false).

If you ignored the ysdk.feedback.canReview() method before executing the request, the value feedbackSent: false may result in the use canReview before requestReview error.

Example of a game rating request

ysdk.feedback.canReview()
        .then(({ value, reason }) => {
            if (value) {
                ysdk.feedback.requestReview()
                    .then(({ feedbackSent }) => {
                        console.log(feedbackSent);
                    })
            } else {
                console.log(reason)
            }
        })
