I can get a user to rate my windows phone 8 app by displaying the REviewTask. However, I can't tell if they actually submitted a rating.
Is there some way to tell if a user of my app has rated it?
For bonus points, can I tell what rating they gave?
There is really no way to tell this. You may be able to retrieve a list of reviews (and related informations such as rate, user name, device model), but you can't associate them to a specific Windows phone device.
I would advice to generate a code for users who are using your app and then make them type it into the review. So that, when you fetch the list of reviews, if you are able to find that code, the user rate your app. You can finally also check which rating they gave you.

I want to reset my app's rating and reviews on Google Play.
How do I do that?
Is it even possible?
I was not able to find much information about this topic.
Similar to Teams Online/InActive status, I am thinking of getting WiFi/LAN information from Desktop, and based on that I want to show on the user's profile card if the user is doing WFO or WFH.
Can this be possible, if so, can I get some pointers to KBA?
PS: I am planning to propose this feature in my company and if they ask I can bring up a POC.
i’m writing because i’ve a very big doubt to get answered... i’ve created an app that require a lot of users for enjoy at 100% because it shows some posts info at globally level, but my question is: the first user that is registered didn’t see anything inside the app because is all empty
How can i resolve this doubt?
I got your question. There should be some strategy for launching such applications.
First Launch Strategy :
When you are launching such application specially on both the platforms make sure you should schedule the launching
Most importantly for a specific laugh day you should arrange a small launching event with Friends or Family to which you can invite on the launch event & can provide a demonstration of the application
Make sure while before or immediately after launching you should have at least 50 users there. So now you need to target from where you should get this users
If you are running company they should be your staff members or if you have a good friend circle you should request them
If your application doesn't requires a real users than in that case you can create at least few dummy users whom you can remove later on when you have enough genuine users
Also try & get some good reviews / ratings for the application
Use google analytics & try to understand which feature are used more by the user & try focus improving & adding more facility to that feature
Use Push notification & Local notifications to let your app interact with the user & daily remind them to use the application. That will improve your app indexing.
Promotional Campaigns :
Another most important thing is when you first launch the application there is a default boost provides by the application for 24-48 hours to let your application fly
So try & utilise that time to get maximum user engagement & make your app maximum visible across the users
Reason behind the strategy :
If you wants to attract or inspire users to get connect with your app they will already first check how many users using this app. How is the ratings of the application. Ratings will always matter.
I hope you & everyone get help from this answer.
I am working on developing a platform which is integrated with Instagram. My app is still in the review process currently but would like some clarification on what is the best way to build one of the modules.
An important part of our application involves us selecting the most appropriate user to carry out a task. In order to make this decision, we need to see the demographic information of a certain user’s followers. More precisely, we need to know how many followers lie in each country
The current workflow we have gone ahead with is, by fetching the list of follower’s of a user’s profile, checking any random post on their profile and fetching the geolocation of that follower. This however has lead to inaccurate information.
Can you suggest if there is an alternate to getting this done?
Thank You
There is no accurate way to get location of a user. You can use 2 methods to get best guess:
check the bio information for location
get all photos and get geo location area from where most of the posts are coming from.
I am new to webOS development. I have one app in the app store and in the next update to the app I would like to be able to identify the age of users, their location, how long they use the app, which features they use the most/least and then store that data in a database. How do I do this? Many thanks in advance for your help.
Well, that's a pretty big question. Here's an outline of what to do, with some notes.
First, you're probably not going to be able to get age unless you ask the user directly and they tell you. Also, you're only going to get location if the application is location-aware and the user permits you to collect that data (when you install a location-aware application, it asks the user if they're okay with the fact that the application will be able to get their location).
As for how long they use the app and which features they use, that's easier. Depending on the granularity you need/want to capture, you can just record time stamps when a user starts and stops using a particular feature, such as when scene activate and deactivate methods fire. As long as you store feature name and timestamp, that should give you what you're looking for.
Then comes to question of collection. However you store it in the app, you have a couple of choices for how to get it out of the app. Unless you can get your users to just email the data to you, probably the easiest thing to do would be to create a web app (possibly with no user facing output, since you're just using it to collect data) using something like Google App Engine that gives you a URL you can send a POST request to using an HTTP request. Depending on how you set it up, it could do the request every time you collect a timestamp (bad for battery use, though), just occasionally, or only when the app is doing cleanup (possibly a problem if you don't get the request off in time).
I'd recommend taking a look online at how people do this type of thing in iPhone apps to get a good sense of how to do this type of thing. If you hit problems getting particular things to work, you can of course come here to StackOverflow with specific coding questions.
