Find a User&nbsp;Win\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>\n  The first thing you need to do is to find a moment where your users are experiencing a win. This can be anything where\n  you provide value for your users.&nbsp;\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  For example, users of my\n  \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fweb-highlights.com\u002F\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighter extension\u003C\u002Fa>\n  experience a win every time they use the web highlighter to highlight some text on a page.

Find the Sweet&nbsp;Spot\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>\n  Finding a situation where your users experience a win is only the first part of the strategy. The even more important\n  question is when exactly to ask for a review.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main idea is that we only want to ask happy users for a review; the unhappy ones should never be asked.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the sweet spot to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  Some users might test your app for a day, try the main features, and then realize it’s not what they wanted. In the\n  worst case, they might even hate it. Asking those users for a review would only lead to more 1‑star ratings. Most of\n  the time, those users either forget about your app or uninstall it.&nbsp;\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  Instead, you want to focus on users who actually use and enjoy your tool. Find the right moment — a point where you\n  know they’re actively using your product and experiencing wins regularly. That’s the perfect time to ask for a review.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  For\n  \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fweb-highlights.com\u002F\" rel=\"noopener\">Web Highlights\u003C\u002Fa>\n  , I don’t ask for a review right after someone creates their first highlight. That would include almost everyone who’s\n  just trying out the app and might uninstall it right after. Instead, I wait until they’ve highlighted their 12th\n  website. By that point, most unhappy users have already left, and the ones who reach it are usually happy with the\n  tool.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  So the second question is:\n  \u003Cstrong>\n    When do my happy users experience wins, while unhappy users usually drop off before reaching this point in the\n    journey?\n  \u003C\u002Fstrong>\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4 id=\"3-the-prompt\">3.
