5 stars, but only 3 reviews

A practical fix and a copyable AI coding prompt. Replace bracketed placeholders with your project details.

1. Check the problem

Zero reviews means no install, five means permission, thirty means competitive. Going from 3 to 30 is your highest-ROI move: DM your first 30 users by name, not a broadcast. Done right, conversion runs 30-40%.

2. Use the prompt

I have great ratings but only 3 reviews, so nobody trusts it yet. Write a short, personal review-request message I can DM to my first 30 users individually, using their name and referencing their use, plus a one-line in-app prompt to ask at the right moment.

3. Verify the fix

Review the proposed diff, run the relevant checks and exercise the original failing flow before merging.
