Frequent annoying reminders to rate the app

This dictionary is good and has many nice features, but it has the extremely annoying habit of popping up a window asking for a five star rating every time it is fired up. This despite having set up my iPhone to block such requests. Hence only four stars.

Developer keeps demanding 5 star rating

(Add) Thank you for your response. Despite your suggestion that a request for rating only happens after an upgrade, I use the app several times a week and I am always prompted with a very annoying pop up box “Support us with your 5-star rating on the App store now” and the box further offers two options “Not Now” or “Rate 5 stars”. How can a demand for a 5-star rating offer you a true rating on your users opinion? If you valued your users opinion you would allow them to rate the app freely, as and when they wish to do so, on the App Store.

(Original) Overall the app is an excellent dictionary. What I object to is constant demands by developer every time I use it for a 5 star rating. If I rate an app I want to be free to rate it as I wish, not to meet someone else’s demands. This constant bombardment for a 5 star rating on an expensive app is unjustified and I would urge anyone to look for a different app before you pay for this one. If it wasn’t for the constant demands it would have scored a 4 star rating.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your comment. Our users' opinion is important to us and that is why we insist on your rating. Please bear in mind that we ask you for review only after a new update.

I have found this a super app to use very handy especially when playing word games. It becomes our judge and mediator when disagreements rear its head. Very handy to have on ur mobile and very easy to use.
