Link Directly to the "Write a Review" Page for an App in the App Store

Does anyone know how to link directly to the "Write a Review" page in the app store for iOS7 & iOS8?

Specifically, I want to go to the app review page and then automatically bring up the "Write a Review" screen (see below), making it easier for users of our app to write a review.

I've seen this posting and this posting, which provide details on linking to the "review" section.

My question is different – I want to also bring up the "Write a "Review" window as well.

Is this possible? If not, is there an alternative you might recommend?

How do I link to a review in the App Store?

Go to App Information section (it should automatically take you there) At the bottom of that page, there is a blue link that says View on App Store . Click it and it will open to a blank page. Copy what is in the URL bar at the top of the page and that's your app reviews link.

Why can't I write a review on the App Store?

Try setting your nickname on its own before trying to submit your review. The following article shows where to do that: View account settings: Sign in, then choose Store > View My Account. Account settings include your Apple ID, billing information, and the nickname you use when you review apps.

This is possible, using the link -> itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id\(appID)&mt=8 with a get a parameter in the end : ?action=write-review

let appReviewURL = "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/id\(appID)?action=write-review&mt=8"
print(appReviewURL)
UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string:appReviewURL)!,options: [:])

This should launch the "Write a Review" page for the specified "appID".
