It is clear that app ratings have a huge effect on your iOS app sales and downloads. Prompting users to rate your app is one way to do this, but it can be annoying, or totally ignored by your users.
Appirater is an open source project that allows you to easily create a prompting for user ratings after a specified amount or after a specific event, and this can occur after each upgrade. This is extremely useful for getting positive ratings, as those who use your app for awhile are much more likely to give your app a good rating, and these longer term users are much less likely to be upset at being prompted to rate.
Appirater has been around for quite awhile, and the developer has done a great job of keeping the project up to date.
