Unlock after rate?

Quick question! I was wondering if, somehow, you players could unlock levels depending on if they rated the game or not? Like, when they rate, they unlock x amount of levels only available after they rate. Thanks!

GameSalad has no access to the App Store ratings but you can unlock a level when they agree to rate the game (since you would be programming the button that allows them to agree to that).

@tatiang - well you can do something close to that. you can deeplink to ratings.

In my latest game i have 2 options unlock 6 levels for 0.99$ and unlock 2 more if you rate 5 stars.

On my rate button i put in a URL link behavior
and put in this "code"

Change the XXXXXXXXXX to your own APP ID which is displayed in itunes connect even before its approved.

This takes you directly to app rating and makes it very easy for people to rate your app. although there is no way to control if they actually rate 5 stars most people will when its that easy without knowing they could have just shut down the window.
