How To Rate Our Podcast “5-stars” On iTunes
Help us reach more people by giving us a 5-star rating on iTunes! Here’s how …
If you’re on an iPhone or iPad …
- Step 1
Launch the “Podcasts” app on your device. It’s the app with this icon:
Note: If you can’t find this app, swipe all the way left on your home screen until you’re at that weird Search/News page thing. Tap the search field at the top and type in “Podcasts.” Apple’s Podcasts app should show up in the search results below.
- Step 2
Tap the Podcasts app icon, and after it opens, tap the Search field at the top, or the little magnifying glass icon in the lower right corner: - Step 3
Type the name of the show you want to rate (e.g. Close It Now!) into the search field and press the Search button. - Step 4
In the search results, click on our show! - Step 5
Scroll down the page until you see Ratings & Reviews - Step 6
Tap the purple “Write a Review” link:
Note: You may need to log into iTunes at this point. If so, enter your iTunes password (annoying, right?).
- Step 7
On the next screen, tap on the 5th star to the right. This is how you give the show a 5-star rating: - Step 8
Next, press the Send button in the upper right corner of the screen. That’s it! Thank You!

After searching, locate the show’s image under the word Podcasts and click on it. - Step 4
