Overview
Common Ninja's App Store Reviews widget displays reviews and ratings from your app's Apple App Store listing on your Squarespace site.
What it does
- Shows App Store reviews and star ratings for your app
- Grid, list or carousel style layouts
- Styling options in Common Ninja's editor
- Embeds with a code block
Who it suits
App developers and startups using Squarespace for their marketing site who want store ratings next to the download buttons.
Honest caveats
It shows Apple reviews only; Android apps need a separate Google Play widget. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. It needs a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
Common Ninja’s App Store Reviews Widget assumes you already live in the Squarespace 7.1 editor and want clearer control over product discovery, merchandising, and checkout-adjacent UX. The copy points to variant and filter flows, cart and catalog friction, and store-specific layout controls as the main levers.
Most teams evaluate it against manual layout tweaks: the pitch is faster iteration on product discovery, merchandising, and checkout-adjacent UX without exporting the problem to custom code.
Fit depends on your template and commerce setup; compare Common Ninja’s live examples to your own navigation, commerce, or section patterns before buying.
Use SquareLocator as a starting point, then validate details (refunds, updates, support channels) directly with Common Ninja before committing.
Strongest when your brief explicitly mentions product discovery, merchandising, and checkout-adjacent UX; weaker if you only need generic “make the site better” tooling.
