title: Is there a way to send a rating to the App Store without leaving the App?
body: <p>Is there a way to send a rating to the app store from within my app <em>without</em> opening iTunes or the AppStore or leaving my app?</p>
  
  <p>This question is not a duplicate of this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6237156/app-store-review-button/6237183">App Store Review Button</a> or its myriad duplicates. I know how to set up an alertView that prompts the user to rate the app and then opens the AppStore to the correct page for the user to give a rating and/or write a review.</p>
  
  <p>What I would prefer to do is to pop up a view with five stars so that when the user selects a star, it and all the stars to its left are highlighted (done that). Then, if the user clicks a button entitled "Submit", the rating will be submitted to the AppStore, but the user will stay in my app. I suppose that Apple will pop up a password request, similar to what happens when updating apps. That's fine, so long as it doesn't cause the user to leave the app.</p>
  
  <p>I realize that this will require an internet connection, and I know how to test for connectivity and the like, so I'm not concerned with that aspect.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a solution for how to achieve this?</p>
