Can't write reviews on Google play store?

[Soggly]

Every time I attempt to write a review on the Google play store, the OK button seems to be greyed out and I can't post anything, anyone else run into this and or fix it? I have an HTC one on 4.1.1 if that helps any

Do you have Google+ enabled? A requirement to write play store reviews is a G+ account.

Yea I do and that's the weird thing :/

Hrm, strange then. I haven't run into that before. So you can fill out a review but can't click the OK button to submit it?

Yea pretty much, no idea why

If you have a Google+account or you are signed in you write w review it may take some time before you see it. I didn't see my review till the next day.

No I mean like the OK button itself when you go to write a review on the play store is greyed out and won't let me post

well this may not be the solution you are looking for but what I do is just send a regular email to the dev saying I like his/her app. I dont need a G+ acct so I wont make one but this is how I let the dev know I like their app.

What "OK" button. All I see is a "submit" button. Are you doing this on the website in a browser?

Did you download the app first? If it is not in your device then you can't write a review for it.

Google Play needs to recognize that you have the application in your device, else you won't be able to post. If you have the application already, try a reinstall!

Make sure you put something in the subject field, anying, even a dash or a period. And set a rating.

It's strange because it'll let me give the star rating on Google play but as soon as I put anything in the text field, that's when it doesn't let me post the review because it becomes greyed out

I have always had this same issue. Shown as signed on and my profile picture shows correctly. I could click as many stars on the review as I liked, but even after writing something, in the review, th? ok button remained greyed out so I could never send the review.

SOLUTION: The simple answer was - type something in the subject section - Easy answer, but I guess I never realised there was even a subject section. Even though it appears directly above where you write your review.

Hope this helps!

I thought I had the same problem and then realized I missed something very obvious. Fail! I did not have the "Summary" line entered and it is easily missed by the big comment box that grabs your attention which you head straight for. So I just clicked the stars and wrote a comment and missed the summary line in between that does not look like something that has to be entered at a glance. Easily done if you are new to writing reviews. They should put a light grey box around the fields to filled out so it is more obvious.

Make sure you set one thing within the field of study, anying, even a touch or a amount. And set a rating.

Basically - it "seems" like the review doesn't "submit" - I felt the same way - after writing it, and having trouble finding the stars to highlight, then I hit submit and it showed it to me - and gave me trash and edit options so I assumed it wasn't submitted yet.. but then I went over to Chrome to see if I could do it there - but it actualy had "taken" when I initially did it. - I had filled out the title box - but that may have been an issue - I did not see the starts so when i tried to hit submit it said I had to rate it - and basically they showed up when I moved my mouse around and finally found them. hope this helps. Side note - I don't like that we have to use a google+ account now - because many people won't write reviews anymore.

Every review I have written on the apps I use have disappeared. Nor can I write any now. I am connected to Google+. Reviews are important. Devs are disappointed as good feedback is pretty essential. I notice other people's reviews are still visible. Any ideas anyone?
