App Store In-app Ratings and Reviews

[southerndoc]

Does anyone else have this problem? I frequently have to uncheck (again) the option to disable in-app ratings and reviews from the App Store app. I'll launch an MS Office app and be prompted for a review. I'll uncheck it again, but randomly it will appear again.

Is there a way to permanently disable in-app ratings and reviews? It's super annoying.

That's the only option I can think of (unless there is a terminal command that exists somewhere).

How about trying to answer the review?

I found that whenever I reboot my Mac (either MacBook Air or Mac mini M1), it will reset the preferences to allow for in-app reviews. So annoying.

This a Monterey only issue. Doesn't happen on other MacOS versions. So annoying. I have is on my MBP 16" which came with Monterey and therefore keep my MBA M1 on Big Sur to avoid the issue. Wondering if it's a bug or a feature. I hope the former. Would be really disapointing to see Apple go down the Microsoft path of deceitful UI/preference switching. There was a lot of this in the first years of Windows 10 (e.g. Microsoft resetting privacy preferences).
