FYI, some people rate apps down when the apps beg for for reviews like that.

I do that if an app does not have a "never show again" button on the prompt, or the prompt shows despite having tapped that button. An automatic 1 star review.

austinl's comment:

> If you're at a company that does scheduled releases (e.g. once every three weeks), you'll need to continually ask people to review the app to keep that rating high.

implies that the best response to such antisocial behavior is to give any pestering app one star. They're mining this dark pattern for publicity.

Pretty much. I downvote any app spamming me.
