This plugin allows you to use the shortcode ios_app_review to embed iOS app reviews and ratings directly into your blog.
What does it do? The first time a page with the shortcode is loaded, the plugin will try to download the reviews from Apple’s servers. Then it will store them in a file and nicely display them on your page. Every time someone opens the page, instead of downloading the reviews again, the plugin will read them from the cache file. If the cache file is too old, the plugin will try to download new reviews from Apple’s servers.

Frequently asked questions.
Why do I see nothing?
You may not have any review for the app in the country you selected. If you have reviews and still see nothing, it is because the iTunesConnect API sometimes doesn’t work properly when trying to retrieve the Customer Reviews. That’s why this plugin caches them once it downloaded the most recent ones.
