You can rate and review any products you've purchased or rented in the Microsoft Store. Your contributions help others decide what to get next and help developers get feedback to improve their products.

Ratings help you see a quick view of other users' experiences with a product. You can rate an app, game, movie, or TV show on a scale of one to five stars. When you rate a product, it affects the average rating that others see on the product page and search results.

The quantity of ratings shows the total number of ratings the product has received while available in the Microsoft Store. The average rating on the product's page and search results are based on the most recent ratings, which better represent the current product experience.

Reviews let you share your experience and specific feedback about a product. Reviews are visible to everyone on the product page along with your name. If you edit your review, the updated review will appear on the product page.

Reviews that contain spam, advertising, profanity, offensive or irrelevant content, external URLs, personal information, information indicating that the reviewer is a minor under 13 years of age, or reviews for products that are no longer up to date or available, violate our standards and may not be published or may be removed after publication. We use a variety of methods, such as automated tools, human evaluations, and third-party reports, to try to detect and remove ratings and reviews that violate our policies. However, some of the reviews on Microsoft Store may not meet our standards and may not reflect authentic user experiences.

I believe I've written reviews on some of the apps I've purchased in the Microsoft Store in the past, but lately I've been unable to.
I cannot for the life of me find where to go on a given app page to write a review. I can read reviews by others, but I can't write my own. There is no link/button to click on to start.

Here is the latest app that I'd like to review.

Is it just me, or are other Insiders having this problem?

Thanks.

you should be able to leave a rating and review. Make sure you are logged into Microsoft Store, and you downloaded the app. But to leave a review, go to installed apps, find the app and click on the three dots. see below.

The problem is that you need to install the app to be able to rate it.
An app like Blue Mail only shows the problem once you uninstall it which is too late to rate it but I'm not going to reinstall this app just to rate it.
I have however reported the app to Microsoft.
The problem is when you uninstall the app, it leaves a rogue registry entry in the run entry section so every time you boot your computer you are prompted to go the Store again to download it!

When a potential content or conduct violation on our services is reported, a specially trained human reviewer may look at the content and conduct. Human reviewers consider the images, video, messages, and context to determine whether the identified content or conduct violates our terms including our policies, Code of Conduct and service specific terms. When content or conduct violates our policies, human reviewers need additional information, they may follow up with the reporter to ask questions, or they may seek assistance from subject matter experts.

The questions in this section could consist of statements of agreement, multiple choice, or limited-character text field types. Note the image is for demonstration purposes. Actual questions will vary.

After submitting the review, a confirmation email will automatically be sent to the Reviewer (and the Chair, if enabled for notification of reviews) stating Reviewer ABC submitted a review for paper XXX in conference YYY.

In those days we used to have these things called BillG reviews. Basically every major important feature got reviewed by Bill Gates. I was told to send a copy of my spec to his office in preparation for the review. It was basically one ream of laser-printed paper.

In those days, Microsoft was a lot less bureaucratic. Instead of the 11 or 12 layers of management they have today, I reported to Mike Conte who reported to Chris Graham who reported to Pete Higgins, who reported to Mike Maples, who reported to Bill. About 6 layers from top to bottom. We made fun of companies like General Motors with their eight layers of management or whatever it was.

In my BillG review meeting, the whole reporting hierarchy was there, along with their cousins, sisters, and aunts, and a person who came along from my team whose whole job during the meeting was to keep an accurate count of how many times Bill said the F word. The lower the f***-count, the better.

The CSRB provides a unique forum for leading government and industry experts to review significant cybersecurity events and provide independent, strategic, and actionable recommendations to the President, the Secretary, and the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to better protect our nation. The Board is made up of cybersecurity leaders from the private sector and senior officials from DHS, CISA, the Defense Department, the National Security Agency, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Office of the National Cyber Director, and the Federal Chief Information Officer.

In August 2023, DHS announced that the CSRB would assess the recent Microsoft Exchange Online intrusion, initially reported in July 2023, and conduct a broader review of issues relating to cloud-based identity and authentication infrastructure affecting applicable cloud service providers (CSP) and their customers. The CSRB obtained data from and conducted interviews with 20 organizations and experts including cybersecurity companies, technology companies, law enforcement organizations, security researchers, academics, as well as several impacted organizations.

The CSRB recommends specific actions to all cloud service providers and government partners to improve security and build resilience against the types of attacks conducted by Storm-0558 and associated groups. Select recommendations include:

We spend a significant part of our day doing code review in GitHub and Visual Studio Team Services, so we welcome anything that makes it faster, easier, and better. After pinpointing several common pain points, we established and widely circulated a common set of code review principles for submitters and reviewers.

Pull request comments easily become a rabbit hole, drifting off and focusing on a small, irrelevant area. In our experience, this is due to differing opinions between submitters and reviewers, not objective facts, and results in a stalemate.

For us, the Emoji Code, keeping our comments human and friendly, and codifying our Code Review best practices make us better developers and a better team. The result: we stay focused, continuously committing and releasing code, features, and integrations to help you to deliver even better code and amazing apps.

So my assumption was surface like devices would be a win win. Hearing a complete opposite view makes me think my decision to go android was right, I had iPad before but the hardware started showing limitations. I have seen some youtubers say that the Pen performance in surface is appaling and probably this is haunting OP.

I have noticed that the Huion is way more sensitive than the Surface. Obviously it has a billion more point pressure receptor thingies, but the pen pressure sensitivity is also set much higher than it was on the Surface Pro.

If insisting on windows , for art purpose , i think the standalone huion is the better choice than surface pro, despite the spec being a few generation old. Since the pen which is what is important to us is wayyy better. I think they offer enough ram for krita to ran.

For tablets I go for Brad Colbow, for previews and Teoh on Tech/ Parkablogs for indepth [since he does like 1 hour initial and 1 hour after 1 month and other comparison stuff]. Unlike other reviewers this two does look at this tech in artist POV rather than tech nerd POV so less on shiny spec and more on - Is this good to draw on if you are an artist.

I have seen the reviews and I am not really sold on xppen android. sure the xppen tech is in there, but samsung have great performing SOC and has wacom tech. Plus a good software update track record. I would rather suggest cheap samsung tablet rather than Xp pen.

For real. It was horrendous for how they almost nailed their surface pro like one [only downside was it was a lil bit older gen intel] they botched their android offering by going for the low end price level.

The report represents the conclusion of a seven-month review and comes against the backdrop of growing concern in Washington that a series of severe breaches at Microsoft has made the company a national-security liability at a time when the federal government is increasingly relying on that company for a raft of cloud computing services. In January, Microsoft disclosed the latest such incident, in which Russian hackers were able to access emails belonging to senior company officials and company source code.
