Answer 1

This is working the best for me. Directs the user straight to the 'Write A Review' composer of the application.

Swift 3.1 (Support for iOS10 and below)

Introduces new action=write-review

let appID = "959379869"

if let checkURL = URL(string: "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=\(appID)&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=2&type=Purple+Software&mt=8") {
    open(url: checkURL)
} else {
    print("invalid url")
}

...

func open(url: URL) {
    if #available(iOS 10, *) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: { (success) in
            print("Open \(url): \(success)")
        })
    } else if UIApplication.shared.openURL(url) {
            print("Open \(url)")
    }
}

Tested and works on Swift 2.2

let appID = "959379869" // Your AppID
if let checkURL = NSURL(string: "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=\(appID)&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=2&type=Purple+Software&mt=8") {
    if UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(checkURL) {
        print("url successfully opened")
    }
} else {
    print("invalid url")
}
