## Description

This plugin allows you to use the shortcode `ios_app_review` to embed iOS app reviews
and ratings directly into your blog.

What does it do?
 The first time a page with the shortcode is loaded, the plugin
will try to download the reviews from Apple’s servers. Then it will store them in
a file and nicely display them on your page. Every time someone opens the page, 
instead of downloading the reviews again, the plugin will read them from the cache
file. If the cache file is too old, the plugin will try to download new reviews 
from Apple’s servers.

Check out some examples of what it produces here: http://www.gilthonwe.com (My iOS
Apps section)

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Place the shortcode `[ios_app_review id="1234"]` (where “1234” is your application’s
    App Store ID) anywhere in a post or page.
 4. More options are available on the Settings page of the plugin

## FAQ

  Why do I see nothing?

You may not have any review for the app in the country you selected. If you have
reviews and still see nothing, it is because the iTunesConnect API sometimes doesn’t
work properly when trying to retrieve the Customer Reviews. That’s why this plugin
caches them once it downloaded the most recent ones.
