If your app was released with bugs and received negative reviews, purchasing positive reviews can rebalance your average rating.

Ultimately, the best way to get good reviews is to create an app that users genuinely enjoy, which leads to organic, high-quality feedback. The Verdict

Implement Apple’s StoreKit to ask for reviews at the right moment, such as after a user achieves a milestone.

Buying app reviews is a high-risk, high-reward strategy. While it can offer a quick boost for a newly launched app, the threat of being banned by app stores is severe.

New apps without users often struggle to establish trust. Buying initial reviews helps you overcome the "empty app" syndrome.

Encourage your early beta users—who often become loyal fans—to leave genuine reviews upon launch.
