How to rate an iPhone app

Here are some instructions for posting feedback on iPhone apps. If you have already set your screen name to your username, then option #2 works just fine and is still pretty valuable.

In order to post feedback, you can do one of the following from your iPhone:

Option 1:
1. Go back into the app store.
2. Find the app
3. scroll to the bottom and click on the link to look at the reviews
4. right at the top it should show a link to "write a review"
5. fill in a screen name - it can be anything so don't use your last name/username
6. write a review; the critical part is to set the rating from one to five stars
7. Click Send

Option 2: (the no writing option)
1. delete the app (don't worry, we'll get it back)
2. when prompted, give it a star rating
3. Go back into the app store and buy the app.
4. Once the app starts installing, you will see a prompt telling you that you have already purchased the app and it will now be installed for free

Whenever there is an update to the app, go back and repeat either option 1 or 2. If you wrote a review, you will get a chance to update the review or simply post it as valid for the new version.
