Would love if app stopped promoting me to leave a review every time I open it!

Great app but…

Next update: stop asking me to rate your app every time I open it. Still 1 star.

Update ♾️: updated app, still asking for rating. Still one star. Once I know I can open the app without being prompted to rate, I’ll fix my rating. Until then, one star it remains.

Forever rating 1 star until I know I won’t be prompted everytime I open the app.

Update #2: stop asking me to rate the app every time I open it. I’ll continue rating it 1 start until the asks stop.

Update: still getting these requests every time I open the app. I’ve already rated this app. Keep asking and I’ll keep giving one Star.

One star because I don’t like the “are you enjoying this app” popping up every time I open the app.
