In-App Review技术问询：用户已通过Play商店评价应用后是否会触发内置评价弹窗？

Great question—this is exactly the kind of edge case that should be spelled out clearly in the official docs, so I totally get your frustration with the lack of guidance here.

To get straight to the answer: Yes, the In-App Review flow can still pop up for users who’ve already left a review via the Play Store’s app page. The Play Store’s system doesn’t automatically block the in-app prompt just because a user submitted a review outside of the in-app experience.

Here’s some additional context to help you navigate this:

• The In-App Review API’s main restrictions are tied to Google’s undocumented quota limits (usually limiting a single user to seeing the prompt a handful of times per year) rather than a user’s existing review status. A prior external review doesn’t count as opting them out of the in-app prompt.
• If you want to prevent showing the prompt to users who’ve already reviewed your app (whether in-app or via the Play Store page), you’ll need to implement custom tracking:
  • For users who completed an in-app review, you can flag them in your app’s local storage or backend to skip future prompts.
  • To catch users who reviewed via the Play Store page, you’d need to use the Google Play Developer API to fetch review statuses, though this adds complexity since you’ll need to link the user’s Play Store account to your app’s user records.

It’s definitely frustrating that this basic scenario isn’t explicitly covered in the official documentation—many developers have voiced the same confusion. For now, your options are to either rely on the implicit quota limits to avoid over-prompting users, or build custom logic if you want tighter control over who sees the in-app review prompt.
