> It kind of reminds me of the story I read somewhere where app developers were showing their own dialog asking you to rate their app. Only if you chose a high rating would they actually forward you to the respective app store to actually leave a review/rating. If you gave a poor rating, they would simply "eat" the response without sending you to the store.
A notable recent occurrence of this was Dungeon Keeper:

I'm fortunate enough to understand (I think!) what apps are doing; I've played a few games that ask for ratings in return for in-game bonuses, and I usually click the button that takes me to the app store, don't rate anything and jump back into the game.
