Apple bans promo code-incentivized app ratings and reviews

Last updated: May 16, 2021 4:40 pm UTC
By Jesse Hollington

Apple has reportedly made a change in its App Store app review policies preventing reviews or ratings of applications downloaded using promotional codes.

Mac Rumors reports that the change has been made to “prevent comprimising [sic] of the rating system,” presumably by developers providing promo codes in exchange for positive reviews and high ratings of their applications.

It remains unclear whether this new policy affects all promo codes and countries or only those issued since the new policy came into effect.
