Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a method, apparatus, and system for obtaining user ratings and/or feedback for a software application. During operation, the system tracks one or more interactions between a user and the application, wherein the application is configured to execute on an electronic device. While tracking the interactions, the system determines whether the interactions meet or exceed a familiarity threshold, wherein meeting or exceeding the familiarity threshold indicates that the user would be more likely than not to provide an informed rating for the application. Next, if the one or more interactions meet or exceed the familiarity threshold, the system displays a message that asks the user whether the user likes the application. If the user likes the application, the system assists the user in rating the application. Otherwise, the system assists the user in providing feedback for the application.
