Rate my app button

Hi All,

I was wondered if I could get some advice on the topic of, including a "rate my app" button, within my game. I had a look through the forum and tutorial sections, but haven't found anything so far.

I've been testing using CocconJS, and I'm hoping to eventually release on both Android and iPhone.

I can work out how to create the button, and I know I'll need to re-direct users to the appropriate URL (Android or iPhone) so they can rate the app.

What I'm not sure of is how can I tell which URL (Android or iPhone), I should use. Is there a way I can determine whether the app is being run on an Android or iPhone?

Any advice you could offer would be very helpful.

Thanks for your help.

You can add url to your market link with "web" object in c2.also i use it facebook/twitter sharing :)

I was looking for something similar for iOS.

What I ended up doing for iOS is follow these new guidlines from apple:

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1633/_index.html

Basically it's using a link in this format,

   "http://appstore.com/{app or publisher name}"

without any spaces or weird characters in the name.

So, for example on my app "'BANG! Sound effects' I have C2 action that calls a browser action to http://appstore.com/bangsoundeffects

It works for iphones and ipads.

guero, bon4ire, thanks for the really useful information. I'll give those tips a try.

For Android enter your URL in this format:

"market://details?id=your.package.name&write_review=true"

It will launch the actual Google Play app rather than a web browser as in the format : "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=....."

It looks much more professional.
