Is there code that I need to create to have the review stars appear in the google market search results? If you type in the name of my game in the Market or GooglePlay search, no review stars appear under the pricing of my game. Why?
cos 2 is a useless indication of what people think. wait until more have reviewed it
Thanks. Do you know how many reviews you need? I’ve only had about 20 downloads. Is there a magic ratio of reviews to downloads or does that matter?
I think its either 5 or 10 reviews in store.
You typically need 5 ratings for the markets to begin showing your average for the current version. If you’re just starting out, it can take a bit of time to reach the volume necessary, as the default behavior for most people using your app is to not rate it. However, given that you’ve only gotten about 20 downloads, I would urge some patience here.
You can give your ratings activity a boost by engaging with your customers and prompting them to rate you if they’re enjoying the app, this tends to work well for the developers we work with. We’ve built tools for Android developers to do this dynamically, within the app, in addition to engaging for feedback and to create customer dialogs, feel free to give us a try and let us know if it helps you out.
