In this tutorial, we will show you how to view and manage your App Store ratings and reviews on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
If you’re someone who takes the time to rate and review apps you download, there may come a time when you want to see those you’ve submitted. Maybe you wrote a negative review for an app, but then you discover that the review was written in rage and not fully true, so you may like to alter it.
Thankfully, Apple lets you see all of the App Store ratings and reviews you’ve submitted for both iOS apps and Mac apps in one handy spot.

See your App Store ratings and reviews on iPhone and iPad
Follow these steps to view all of the ratings and reviews for apps, podcasts, and services on your iPhone and iPad. Note that this does not include reviews for apps from the Mac App Store.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID tile from the top.
- Choose Media & Purchases and pick View Account. Enter your Apple ID password if prompted.
- Select Ratings and Reviews.
- You can scroll to see all the ratings and reviews you’ve submitted with the dates. You cannot edit one or the other on this screen, but you can delete one. Swipe the app from right to left and tap Remove. You will not be asked to confirm the removal, so be sure you want to delete it.
See your Mac App Store ratings and reviews
Apps that you rate and review on the Mac App Store are kept separate from those on your iPhone and iPad.
- Open the App Store on your Mac and click Store > Account from the top menu bar. Alternatively, you can click your profile picture from the bottom left of the App Store.
- Select Account Settings on the top right and enter your Apple ID password if prompted.
- Scroll down to the Manage section, and you’ll see Ratings and Reviews with the number next to it. Click Manage Ratings and Reviews or Manage next to it to see each individual rating or review. You can sort by rating or recent using the drop-down box at the top.
While you cannot currently edit a rating or review on this screen, you can delete one. Click the Remove link next to it. But be sure you want to remove it because you will not be asked to confirm.
Note: Try the above steps again after a while if you see an error on your Mac, and hitting Retry does not help.
