Can't Write a Review On Mac App Store

I purchased an application on the Mac App Store and I would like to write a review but it won't let me saying that "To review this app, you must have purchased it from the Mac App Store". I did purchase my app from the Mac App Store. Has anyone else had this happen or know how to get it working?
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for your reply.
I do it on my iPod. In the App Store's description of the app, at the bottom just below the screenshots, I tap the button that states the number of reviews currently posted as to go read them, then I tap "Write a review". When I did it I was asked for my password, which I entered, then I was asked for a pseudonym, as none had yet been created. I provided the same as here (I want to use the same in both places), then I typed my message (number of stars, title, message), and tapped "Send".
Now, I have proof this has nothing to do with the app's manufacturer, as it's all handled and managed by Apple's App Store. I tried doing the same again today but for another app, the Convert Units for Free app, which I'd just downoaded. This is an app for which there are 4 reviews posted as of yesterday, and 2 as of today, for a total of 298! So this app does receive reviews, unlike the other one. So I tapped "Write a review", and, this time, I wasn't even asked for my password! The Pseudonym line didn't appear either. I wrote my review (chose a numer of stars, wrote a title, then the text), then tapped "Send". I wasn't asked for my password then either. Same **** result as yesterday! Now when I come back and tap "Write a review" again, it brings back what I wrote. Same result when I tap "Send" again.
So then, I went back to the iBig Ben Pro app, went into the reviews, and tapped "Write a review". My review for that app came back in the editor! Complete with my pseudonym on the Pseudonym line! I tapped "Send" again, and still the same result.
In between these two experiences, I tried tapping "Write a review" for an app I hadn't downloaded. It asked me for my password, as it did for the first app described here after I'd downloaded it. I didn't proceed further.
This is really odd, and I think I'll take the concern to the Apple Store in the mall across the street (I heard the guys there are eager to answer our questions). Not that I don't appreciate the answers I get here, quite the opposite, but I'd get to show an Apple person what happens before his eyes, which can't be done here.

I can't write a review on the App Store. When I try it says I have to download or purchase the app first even if I already have it. What can I do?

I have tried to write reviews for both temple run 2 and tiny monsters and they both didn't work but I just thought it was because the review was too long so I tried it again with a shorter review but it still didn't work and then just on a random other app that I didn't really want to review and it still didn't work. Can anyone please help me, Thanks.

Make sure you are signed into the account that purchased it. If the app is on your phone but you are signed into an account that didn't purchase it then it won't let you review the app.

You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:

Trying to write a review in iTunes App Store in.

im trying to write a review in the App Store and it keeps asking me for a nickname. I already have one set up and I'm signed in. Can't figure it out. Thanks for your help.

It seems to me that your nickname from the iTunes Store on a computer does not necessarily carry over to the App Store on the iPad.
So I suggest simply re-entering your nickname. Surely there is no harm in doing that.

I bought The Djay app, for iPad, but I can't download it on the Mac App Store, whitout having to pay the 20$ why is that?

Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!

How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

HI Judy...
You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.

Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

Can I delete YOUR review in Apple App Store?

N o.
You can try to flag it for abuse or send an email to Apple requesting they look into it, but devs don't have the power to blow away reviews, sorry.

Can't post review in Mac App Store

I wanted to add a review for Coda which I purchased before the Mac App Store started. The Mac App Store has detected that I have Coda installed but it won't allow me to write a review because I didn't purchase it through the store.
I don't want to purchase it again just to write a review.

Hi and welcome theq256...

I can't write a review for an app in the App Store

I cannot write a review for an app in the App Store. Every time I try, there's a message popping out saying " in order to write a customer review for this item, you must have purchased or downloaded it first". But I already downloaded the app. Please help.
P.S The app was Mathletics.

I have the same problem with 2 other apps from the same developer, in my case Restaurant Story and Fashion Story. No problems with other apps. That means something... TeamLava is the culprit.

Can't download a purchase from Mac App Store

I recently bought OSX Lion and redeemed it through the Mac App Store. When I go to my purchases, I see it there and I click the download button, but it doesn't download. The little spinning gear shows up for a few seconds in the top left corner and then it stops and nothing happens.
I currently running Snow Leopard on an old white Macbook that I got in 2007. I'm pretty sure this is the last update I can do for my operating system.
I downloaded Hands Off! but that didn't do anything, and I've tried resarting my computer but that isn't doing anything either....
Help?

I have a friend in the same boat - she just got a used Mac and I am her "helper". It's a mid-2010 iMac, on 10.6.not sure. LOL I was walking her through a purchase on the App Store and when she clicked the price and then buy/get, nothing happens. No drop down window that pops into the main window where you can enter your Apple ID or create one if you don't have one. I had her establish her Apple ID and get that party started, still nothing. Hard to find anything else out there on the web for solutions.
She's friends with the people that had the Mac before and they did do some cleaning up the hardware prior to giving it her, but nothing is obvious about fixing this issue. I asked her to double check with the friends. Glad to know that she's not the only one with this problem.
