Does anyone have some sample code that they used for a “share this app” and/or “rate this app” function?

@californiadeveloper,

Could you elaborate more on the exact requirements? Also, can you reference other apps that have similar feature so we can all understand how best to respond?

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding “share this app”:

I would like to use a combobox widget that when clicked would run a javascript to create a new email that has a blank to: box, the current user’s email populated in the from: box, a subject that says “check out this cool app” and a body including a link to the app store for the app.

Regarding “rate this app”:

I would like to use a combobox widget that when clicked would run a javascript to take the user to the review page in the app store for the app.

i figured out a way to “share this app” using the Go To URL option and the mailto: command:

mailto:?subject=I%20think%20you’ll%20like%20this%20app&body=You%20have%20to%20check%20out%20this%20iPhone%20app:%20http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/APPNAMEHERE/idAPPIDHERE?mt=8&uo=4

I’m still looking for a way to get directly to the rate my app URL.

and here is how to get to the rating page for your app on itunes:

use the Go To URL command and enter:

itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=YOURAPPID
