link directly to review page in App Store by name, not ID

Question

I am wondering how I can directly link to the review page of my iOS application, without knowing the app ID, just the name.

I know this is possible to link to the app without the app ID by using

itms-apps://itunes.com/apps/APPNAME

And you can link to the review page, but you require the app ID, ex.

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=350212768&pageNumber=0& sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software&mt=8

So basically, can you combine these two?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't believe you can combine them the way you're wanting.

The review links need to contain an ID so it knows where to send you. The apps/APPNAME links are generous Apple short links that redirect to the actual APPID based links.

More information on all iTunes based links can be found in this awesome article.
