How to Boost Reviews on Google Play and App Store
Reviews and the average rating are the first thing a user looks at on an app listing and what the stores' ranking algorithm takes into account. A new app with no reviews finds it hard to earn trust and break into the top. In this guide we'll cover how to get real reviews on Google Play and App Store using the Zelenka.Work task marketplace — a micro-task platform by Lolzteam.
Why reviews decide everything
- Conversion to install. A listing with real reviews and a 4.5+ rating gets downloaded noticeably more often than an empty one.
- ASO and ranking. Stores factor in the freshness, the number and the sentiment of reviews when ranking search results.
- Social proof. The first 20–50 positive reviews build trust in the product.
How this differs from bots
On Zelenka.Work tasks are completed by real executors, not emulators. That means:
- reviews are written by real people from real accounts;
- you can set the geo, language and sentiment;
- each executor attaches proof (a screenshot), and you accept or reject the work.
The money is reserved while the task is running and is charged only for accepted reports — that's the deal protection.
Step-by-step guide: getting reviews through Zelenka.Work
- Sign up on the platform and top up your balance — the money goes toward paying executors.
- Click "Post a task" in the side menu.
- Choose the "Reviews and publications" type — it's the dedicated category for reviews, ratings and comments.
- Describe the brief: a link to the app on Google Play / App Store, a reference text or talking points, the rating you need (for example, 5 stars), geo and language.
- Specify which proof to send: a screenshot of the published review or its text.
- Set the price per completion and the number of reviews, then launch the task.
- Review the reports: confirm the suitable ones, reject the poor-quality ones with a comment.

How to write a brief so the reviews look natural
- Give talking points rather than a single template — otherwise the reviews will be identical, and the stores notice that.
- Ask them to mention specific app features — that way the text looks credible.
- Spread the publications over time, not all in one hour.
- Mix the ratings within reasonable limits (for example, 4 and 5 stars) — a perfectly even rating looks suspicious.
How much it costs and how fast
You set the cost yourself: the price per review is multiplied by the quantity. The more detailed the brief and the higher the pay, the faster executors pick up the task. Small batches usually close within a day.
FAQ
Is this safe for the app?
Yes, as long as you don't chase volume. Publish reviews gradually and with varied wording — stores filter out a sudden spike of identical reviews.
Do real people leave the reviews?
Yes. Tasks on the platform are completed by real executors, each one attaches proof, and you accept the work manually.
Can I choose the language and geo?
Yes, that's specified in the task brief. That way you get reviews in the language you need and from the region you need.
What if a review doesn't match the brief?
Reject the report with a comment — you won't be charged for it. Disputed situations are resolved by the platform's arbitration.
