How can I review a work-provided app on the App Store?

I am using an app that has been provided to me through a work related special App Store. I want to review the app and make comments that will be seen by others in the open Apple app store. but the App Store will not let me review it because they say I do not "own" the item. And the company that makes it does not want my direct feedback on their website because I am not their customer, my employer is.


is there some secret way to force the App Store to recognize that the app is actually on my device am I therefore have a legitimate opinion about it?


My real goal is to have the App people see my complaint and potentially improve the app because I have a little choice about using it

You should provide your feedback to your IT department. They should be able to provide feedback to the developer.


Or, send the developers an email. Or a piece of actual mail.

I agree that I should be able to get feedback through my IT Department, but that doesn't ever seem to go anywhere and I would like to make a public statement because I want to warn other people away from the app until they fix these things. I want them to be ashamed of getting one star so they will be motivated.


An actual snail mail is an interesting idea, I hadn't really contemplated that. I don't know if they would look on it as impossibly quaint and discounted or give it more weight because it actually did come by mail.


Again, that does not come with the public shaming of a review on The App Store.


After I get through a particularly intense set of days with too many conversations on the app, I may try downloading it directly from the App Store on top of what I have from work. I am worried that it will delete customization that comes with the version blessed by the Work App Store that allow it to actually be used securely for our campus.
