This skill covers the\nfour rules that aren't obvious from the ASC UI. Prompting *code* lives in\n`generators/review-prompt`; reply *writing* lives in `app-store/review-response-writer` — this\nskill is the strategy layer that tells you when each matters.\n\n## When This Skill Activates\n\n- Localizing or expanding into new storefronts (\"why does my app show no rating in Japan?\")\n- Considering the \"reset ratings summary\" option on a version release\n- Choosing release options before submitting (phased vs immediate, auto vs manual)\n- Planning a per-market ratings strategy alongside `product/localization-strategy`\n- A bad build or review-bomb is threatening the rating\n\n## Rule 1: Ratings are per-storefront — they do not travel\n\nYour 4.8★ from 2,000 US ratings renders as **no rating at all** on the Japanese storefront until\nJapanese users rate the app there. Every storefront starts from zero.\n\nConsequences:\n\n- ✅ Entering a new market = re-running the early-days ratings playbook *in that market*: prompt\n  eagerly (within guidelines), localize the prompt moment, reply to every early review.\n- ✅ Weight `requestReview` triggers by storefront maturity — a market with 12 ratings needs the\n  prompt more than the home market with 5,000.\n- ❌ Assuming social proof transfers with the binary. A localized listing with zero local ratings\n  converts like an unknown app, because there it *is* one.\n- The written-review pool is also per-storefront: expect empty review sections in fresh markets\n  and seed them via TestFlight communities or launch outreach in that region.\n\n## Rule 2: Never reset the ratings summary\n\nASC offers a reset when you release a new version. It is almost always a mistake:\n\n- Reset discards the count as well as the average — 4.2★ from 3,000 ratings converts better than\n  a naked 5.0★ from 6, and the count never comes back except one rating at a time.\n- The instinct to reset (\"v2 is a big rewrite, old reviews don't apply\") is better served by\n  replying to outdated negative reviews (updated ratings **replace** the old score — see\n  `review-response-writer`) and by the What's New copy.\n- ✅ Legitimate near-exception: a catastrophic launch (sub-3★, low count, fixed root cause) on an\n  app with almost no ratings mass. Even then, run the math on count loss first.\n- ❌ Resetting an established app to chase a higher average. You'll rank and convert worse for\n  months.\n\n## Rule 3: Phased release + manual release are rating armor\n\nTwo ASC toggles turn a bad build from a rating catastrophe into a contained incident:\n\n- **Manual version release** — approval ≠ release. Release when you're awake and watching\n  crash dashboards, not whenever review finishes.\n- **Phased release** — 7-day staged rollout (1% → 2% → 5% → 10% → 20% → 50% → 100%) to users\n  with automatic updates. A crashing build caught on day 1–2 has burned ~3% of your users;\n  **pause** the rollout, fix, resubmit. Without it, 100% of users get the bad build and the\n  1-star flood arrives before the hotfix does.\n- ✅ Default for every release: phased ON + manual release + monitor day-1 crash rate.\n- ❌ Halting a phased release as a rollback. Pausing stops *new* deliveries only — users who got\n  the build keep it, and manual App Store downloads always get the new version. The armor is\n  damage *limitation*; the fix still has to ship.\n\n## Rule 4: The prompt-and-reply loop is the only rating input you control\n\n- **Prompt** at success moments with `requestReview` — never at launch, never mid-task. Aim the\n  moment, cap the frequency, and localize what \"success\" means per market. Implementation:\n  `generators/review-prompt`.\n- **Reply** to negative reviews — when a user updates their review after a reply, the new score\n  replaces the old one in the average. Replies are the only mechanism that converts existing\n  1-stars into 4-stars. Templates: `app-store/review-response-writer`.\n- Per-storefront corollary: track \"unanswered negative reviews\" per market, not globally — a\n  5-review storefront is one bad review away from 60% negative.\n\n## Output Format\n\nWhen auditing an app's ratings posture, report per storefront:\n\n```\nStorefront | Rating (count) | Unanswered 1–3★ (90d) | Prompt localized? | Phased+manual habit?\n```\n\nflagging: fresh storefronts with no prompting plan, any reset consideration (🔴 stop), and\nreleases going out unphased.\n\n## References\n\n- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/requesting-app-store-reviews\n- https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/update-your-app/release-a-version-update-in-phases\n- https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/monitor-app-performance/reset-your-app-s-summary-rating\n- Related skills: `generators/review-prompt`, `app-store/review-response-writer`, `product/localization-strategy`, `growth/store-growth-audit`\n","tagline":"How App Store ratings actually behave — per-storefront isolation (your US stars show nowhere else), the never-reset rule, phased release + manual release as rating protection, and where prompting/replying fit.
