App Store ratings increases iPhone and iPad app sales on the iOS AppStore. This is a proven way to get more ratings & reviews. This Objective-C class adds a recurring UIAlert to your app asking the user to rate your iPhone app every nth time he starts it, until he taps the "Rate now" button.
Add the files RMURLAlert.h and RMURLAlert.m to your project
use it in your main viewcontroller
#import "RMURLAlert.h"
@implementation RootViewController
@synthesize urlAlert;
-(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// init with URL and period
self.urlAlert = [[RMRecurringURLAlert alloc] initWithURLString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/pfandrechner/id433252145?mt=8" period:3];
// show the altert with message and button text
[self.urlAlert
showAlertWithMessage:@"Please rate this app!"
deferText:@"Later"
actionText:@"OK"];
}
@end

Thanks for your support, the component work fine and the author gave me excellent support .
The component does as advertised, but I have yet to see any results from apps in the App Store which use it (largely because none of them have been approved yet). I expect to see good results.
