# Ratings and reviews

## Best practices

**Ask for a rating only after people have demonstrated engagement with your app or game.**

**Avoid interrupting people while they’re performing a task or playing a game.**

**Avoid pestering people.**

**Prefer the system-provided prompt.**

**Weigh the benefits of resetting your summary rating against the potential disadvantage of showing fewer ratings.**
