WP7 get to know if user has rated or reviewed an app

Go To StackoverFlow.com

I already managed to create function which checks if user is using a trial/demo or full/purchased app on Windows Phone 7.

Is it possible somehow to know if user has reviewed or rated a current app?

I don't believe this is currently possible, you may be interested in this blog post regarding reminding the user to leave a review for your application :-

I have noticed that some apps remind me to rate or review them. I was just wondering if they know that I have already reviewed the app and wont show me that reminder again after some time, or in the case when I don't want to review app, will the app provide some reminders later on - experc 2012-04-05 15:55

I think the only way to do that is to save a value in the isolated storage, such as: hasRated, and its value is initially false.

Then when the user presses on the menu item: rate me! that value will change to true.

Before deciding to show a reminding message or not, that value is checked.

Unfortunately, you will not be able detect if the user pressed "rate me!" then pressed back button without rating, he will be considered then as if he has rated.
