Tap your photo (or icon, if you haven't added a photo) in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Tap Purchased. Tap the app you want to rate. Scroll down to the Ratings & Reviews section. Tap the number of stars you want to give the app. Your rating is automatically saved and submitted. Added the wrong rating or changed your mind?

If you're running a version of macOS that still has iTunes, though, you can review apps in the App Store section of iTunes. How to Rate an App in the App Itself
In some apps, you also have the chance to leave a review from within the app itself. Not every app has this feature—the developer needs to add it—but some do. In that case, a pop-up window will occasionally appear asking you to leave a review. You can dismiss this without a leaving a review, of course, but if you want to leave a review, tap the number of stars you want to assign, then tap Submit.

For paid apps, it also saves them money. Leaving a review helps users get a clear picture of whether the app is good or not, and helps them make a good decision.Helping the developer: Developers needs to know what their users like and don't like in apps. They also need to hear about bugs in the app. Reviews are a direct way to do that.Helping Apple: Apple's App Store search feature and algorithms may be influenced by whether an app is rated well or poorly.
