Last updated: 2022-08-05

The in-app comments service allows you to prompt your users to submit ratings and make comments for your app. The ratings and comments will be submitted to and displayed on the details page of your app on HUAWEI AppGallery or HUAWEI GameCenter. With the in-app comments function, users do not have to leave your app for rating and commenting. In addition, you can choose to prompt users to rate and comment on your app at the right moment, when they are more likely to give positive reviews.
