it would be even better if they stopped proactively pushing a rating prompt and defaulted to 'no rating' which means 'everything is fine'. provide the thumbs up/down in the app that people can use for the situations where it was noteworthy enough to go out of your way to register a vote.

and it might be better to drop the thumbs-up option as well. the rating ecosystems have evolved to a point where the stars aren't a bipolar rating scale from bad->acceptable->great but rather a unipolar scale from bad->acceptable. there's a good chance that the same would happen with thumbs up/down, so why not just jump to the inveitable endpoint of "ratings are only used to report adverse events"?
