How To: Apple Lets You See All the Ratings & Reviews You've Ever Given Apps, Games, Movies, TV, Music, Podcasts & Books

Voicing your displease with a shoddy third-party app or professing your love for an album you've just bought is normal, which is why we have ratings and reviews. You hate something, you write something. You love something, you rate it. But feelings change over time, so your ratings or reviews may need to be updated.

On your iPhone, you can leave ratings and reviews for apps, games, music, TV shows, movies, books, and even podcasts. And if you rate or review something from the App Store and other native Apple apps, it stays attached to your Apple ID forever. That "forever" part makes it possible to find and evaluate every rating and review you've left behind to see if any need updated or deleted.

Although you might still feel the same way about a lousy TV show you recently rewatched, maybe you've changed your mind about an album or book review you left a few years ago. Perhaps you just want to check out all of your ratings and reviews that you've forgotten about, to reminisce over years past.

Viewing Your Ratings & Reviews

Since you can leave ratings and reviews in a variety of Apple's stock apps, there are multiple ways to access your ratings and review history. You can find your catalog of rants and raves from the App Store, iTunes Store, Music, TV, and Books. You can even see them all in the Settings app. However, while you can rate and review items in Podcasts, you can't access your history from it.

Viewing & Deleting Your Ratings & Reviews

Ratings and reviews are in reverse chronological order, with your newest additions up top and oldest at the bottom. Currently, there is no way to sort the list by type (books, movies, etc.), and it probably won't happen any time soon. So for the foreseeable future, you're stuck with a mishmash of app, game, music, TV show, movie, book, and podcast ratings and reviews.

Worst of all, there is no quick access to editing a rating or review in case you want to update it. To do so, you'll need to open its respective app, find the content's page, then tap "Write a Review." Your previous rating and review will appear, and you can edit it however you see fit.
