From Ionic app to Store Review Section

ionic-v1
1

Hi,

I need to implement a button in my Ionic app which should redirect the user to the store ( Apple or Google Play store ) in order to facilitate them to post an app review.

Since I suppose the app should redirect them to the App Store, openning the right section (review section), I have no clue how to do this with Ionic.

Could you guys help me?

Thanks,

I’m also looking for solution for this issue. I have implemented a button but the xcode gives me this error when I press the button on my device
"Failed to load webpage with error: CDVWebViewDelegate: Navigation started when state=1"
This is how I implemented the button:

.controller('infoPageCtrl', function($scope){
  $scope.targetLink;
  $scope.$on("$ionicView.beforeEnter", function() {
    var phoneModel = device.platform;
    if (phoneModel === 'Android') {
      $scope.targetLink = 'https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=zadgroup';
    } else if (phoneModel === 'iOS') {
      $scope.targetLink = 'https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/zad-group-for-computer-services/id341310117';
    }
    else{
      $scope.targetLink = 'http://www.google.com/';
    }
  });
  
  $scope.directToStore = function(){
    window.open($scope.targetLink);
  }
  
})

Hi Aljathmi,

I could do that, recently.
Check my solution:

var URL_APP = {
REVIEW_IOS: “itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/idAPPID”,
REVIEW_ANDROID: “market://details?id=com.appid”
};

$scope.onReviewClick = function(){
var isIOS = ionic.Platform.isIOS() || ionic.Platform.isIPad();
var isAndroid = ionic.Platform.isAndroid();

    if (isIOS) {
        window.open(URL_APP.REVIEW_IOS, '_system', 'location=yes');
    }
    else if (isAndroid) {
        window.open(URL_APP.REVIEW_ANDROID, '_system', 'location=yes');
    }
}

Thanks!

Thanks @igordeoliveirasa
It worked for me by adding InAppBrowser plugin and replacing:

window.open($scope.targetLink);

with:

window.open($scope.targetLink, '_system', 'location=yes');
