It may look like a simple interface, but this was a big lift under the hood. And the benefit to developers is clear: no special SDK for TV; just use the same Play Core API to prompt for in-app ratings and reviews on #GoogleTV!
We're bringing the In-App Ratings and Reviews API to TV! 📺
You can now prompt users for feedback directly on the platform, and get valuable qualitative and quantitative info about your app.
