How to Review and Rate an App on the Google Play Store

As a way to appreciate and give feedback to the Developer, we can rate and review the applications they created.

This review is very important for them, to the point, that some "fraud" Developers review the application by themselves or pay users to give excellent reviews.

They do that so that many people would want to install the application. In fact, Google has explained clearly the policy in giving a review on the Google Play Privacy Policy page. This includes fake reviews.

So, if you are an app developer and don't want to get a "penalty" from Google, let the users who really like your application do the review naturally.

Android users can leave a reviews for apps, games, and other content on the Play Store. When you review something on Google Play, the review will be linked to a Google Account and is public.

If you don't want this review to be public, you can delete it.
