App store link for "rate/review this app"

I want to put a "rate/review this app" feature into my app.

Is there a way to link directly to the screen in the app store where they review the app? So the customer doesn't have to click through the main app link. Thanks.

EDIT: starting a bounty on this due to the lack of response. Just to make sure it is crystal clear: I am aware that I can link to my app's page in the store, and ask the user to click from there to the "review this app" screen. The question is whether it is possible to link directly to the "review this app" screen so they don't have to click through anything.

Everything, written above is correct. Just a sample to insert into the app and change {YOUR APP ID} to actual app id, taken from iTunesconnect to show the Review page. Please note, as it was commented above, that it is not working on the Simulator - just the device.

  • Correcting because of iOS 7 changes.
  • Correcting for iOS 10+ openURL changes
  • For iOS 13.6+ review URL is accessible with the one, used before version 6.0. It drives directly to the review page. Code updated
    NSString * appId = @"{YOUR APP ID}";
    NSString * theUrl = [NSString  stringWithFormat:@"itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=%@&onlyLatestVersion=true&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software",appId];
    int vers = (int) [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion integerValue];
    if (vers > 6 && vers < 12 ) theUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id%@",appId];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:theUrl] options:@{} completionHandler:nil];
