How about never — is never good for you?

If you've ever used an iPhone, chances are you've been prompted by one of the many random apps you've downloaded over the years to rate and review it on Apple's App Store. And, of course, this unbidden request happens while you're in the middle of using said app — interrupting whatever it was you were in the process of doing all on the off chance you might juice some developer's App Store rating.

It's extremely annoying. Thankfully, there's a way to stop it from ever happening again.
