App developers should include an "I already rated this app" option in rate the app reminders

I genuinely appreciate good apps and make it a point to rate them on the Play Store, either on my own or when the app reminds me. However, it’s annoying when the same app keeps nagging me to rate it, even after I already have!

Wouldn't it be great if app developers included an option in the reminder like, "I already rated the app"? This way, they can avoid spamming loyal users with unnecessary pop-ups. It’s a win-win for both users and developers—users get a better experience, and developers maintain goodwill.

Plenty of apps already do that, good ones at least. Afaik both on iOS and on Android the rating reminder is something you have to trigger yourself as the developer and you have different callbacks for the choice the user selects, so developers have full control over not showing the reminder more than once and logging the choice the user made when they first say it. I haven’t worked on mobile apps in a few years tho, so maybe things changed.
