Actions such as push notifications and seeking review for the products are necessary but the user should be given a choice to mute it too. If the push notification and asking for a review or rating is frequent it will annoy the user. The frequency should be maintained proper and if possible some value addition has to be given to the user for ratings and reviews. This engages the user in giving a proper rating.
