How to block first-rate reviews of iPhone and iPad apps on iOS 11

On smartphone devices, there are many applications that require ratings, iPhone and iPad are no exception. Even if you have evaluated to stop receiving those annoying requests, but new or newly installed applications, you will receive a request again. IOS 11 tried to fix this problem, limiting how often applications send evaluation requests to users and allow to stop displaying the request permanently.

Applications can only request ratings up to 3 times per year

When upgrading to iOS 11, you will see lots of new changes and useful features. Applications must use Apple's standard way of requesting reviews, namely SKStoreReviewController API - a method of controlling the rating process. Apple will reject applications that use their own rating requirements. Each application can only request a rating of 3 times per year even if developers have updated the app, this limit will not change. This will help prevent applications that are annoying for users.
