Asking for Reviews from within an app

In my published app, I wish to give the user a button that will open the iTunes page for the app, and navigate to the Add a Review section for the app.

Is it possible to create a url to do this?

Yes, that's possible. Read this article. In short, your URL will look like this:

itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=337064413

You'll have to replace the id with your App's id.

Yes. For example, an angry birds link:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds/id343200656?mt=8

That would open the app store for that app.

It would have to be a link from your website, however, as you wouldn't have that link until after you submitted the app to apple for review...

So, on your server:

<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="seconds;URL=link-to-my-application">
    </HEAD>
</HTML>

Or just use a short link service like bit.ly and change the link once your app has been reviewed.
