"Rate this app" google play store link in Ionic app

Question

I wanted to add "Rate us" google play store link for my Ionic app. I tried as follows

window.open('market://details?id=com.app.id', '_system');

<a href="market://details?id=com.app.id" target="_system">Rate us</a>

Both does not work for me. What is the problem in above code? is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

I found an answer, we need to install InAppBrowser plugin

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser

Then use the following code

window.open('market://details?id=com.app.id', '_system');

Answer 2

Why not use this plugin: https://github.com/pushandplay/cordova-plugin-apprate

I use it with success like this :

        AppRate.preferences.useLanguage = cfg.useLanguage;
        AppRate.preferences.storeAppURL.ios = cfg.appStoreAppURL.ios;
        AppRate.preferences.storeAppURL.android = cfg.appStoreAppURL.android;
        AppRate.preferences.customLocale = cfg.customLocale;
        AppRate.preferences.displayAppName = cfg.displayAppName;
        AppRate.preferences.usesUntilPrompt = cfg.usesUntilPrompt;
        AppRate.preferences.promptAgainForEachNewVersion = false;
        AppRate.promptForRating();
