Answer 1

I am using this library. seems pretty good. You just have to specify the package name and App store ID and call the function. And it's cross-platform too.

render() {
        return (
            
                {
                    let options = {
                        AppleAppID:"2193813192",
                        GooglePackageName:"com.mywebsite.myapp",
                        AmazonPackageName:"com.mywebsite.myapp",
                        OtherAndroidURL:"http://www.randomappstore.com/app/47172391",
                        preferredAndroidMarket: AndroidMarket.Google,
                        preferInApp:false,
                        openAppStoreIfInAppFails:true,
                        fallbackPlatformURL:"http://www.mywebsite.com/myapp.html",
                    }
                    Rate.rate(options, (success)=>{
                        if (success) {
                            // this technically only tells us if the user successfully went to the Review Page. Whether they actually did anything, we do not know.
                            this.setState({rated:true})
                        }
                    })
                } />
            
        )
    }
