Get Play Store Reviews and Ratings for Your Live Android Listing

Public reviews and ratings help people decide whether to install your Android app after it is live on Google Play. Closed testing solves a different problem — twelve opted-in testers for fourteen continuous days so eligible personal developer accounts can apply for production access. Once you are live, listing social proof becomes the next growth layer.

TestMyApps now offers a dedicated Reviews & Ratings workflow alongside closed testing. You submit your app name and listing URL, choose Basic Review or Premium Review in a pay popup, and track fulfillment without touching your app-testing credits or submission form.

Basic Review vs Premium Review

Default packages ship as Basic Review (20 public reviews and ratings for $15) and Premium Review (30 for $29). Those are admin-editable: change the display name, slug, description, price, and Dodo product id whenever you need without shipping new code.

Unlike app testing (where 1 credit = 1 app and you can buy credits ahead), reviews are not a shared wallet. Basic and Premium are different package sizes, so you pick the package and pay when you submit that order.

Basic Review: 20 public Play Store reviews & ratings
Premium Review: 30 public Play Store reviews & ratings
Names, slugs, and Dodo product keys are configurable in package settings

How submit and pay works

In the Reviews & Ratings workspace tab, enter your app details and listing URL, then click Submit & pay. A checkout popup shows the live review packages with review counts and prices. There is no separate “buy credits first” step required for reviews — payment happens at submission.

After Dodo confirms payment, that draft order auto-queues for the package you bought. Ops moves the order through start (queued) → in progress → report sending → completed, and can mark payment status paid or unpaid for internal tracking.

Closed testing is still separate

If you still need production-access eligibility, use 12 testers for 14 days. That flow keeps the existing readiness checklist, testing credits, and tester assignment board unchanged. Reviews & Ratings does not replace closed testing — it complements a live listing after you ship.

FAQ

Questions about this topic

Do I need a perfect Play Store URL format?

No. Paste the public listing link you have. TestMyApps accepts flexible URL formats for reviews orders.

Can I rename Basic Review or Premium Review?

Yes. Admins can edit package name, slug, description, price, and Dodo product id in credit package settings.

Will buying reviews affect my testing credits?

No. Reviews are paid per order at submit time. App testing still uses its own credit balance (1 credit = 1 app).
