Medium: Circa’s secret to getting 90% 5-stars. tl;dr: 1) Build a great app, 2) Don’t annoy your users, 3) Ask nicely, don’t beg
Since Circa News has been available in the App Store, we’ve done quite well with our app ratings — nearly every major version has ended up with a 5 star average. That’s no accident.
