Hello,

>>as I understand the following doesn't work anymore for UWP

For the UWP, you could use the PFN to share the application: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Hh974767.aspx#getting_a_web_link_to_your_app

Review

Opens the "Write a review" page of an app's   listing.

PFN: the Package Family Name of the application

A use example:

var uri = new Uri("ms-windows-store:Review?PFN=XXXXXXXXX.StockOverFlowPortal_XXXXXXXXX"); 

bool success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);

In my application, it could redirect to the StockOverFlowPortal instruction page in store.

For the PFN value, you could find it on the new dashboard by check: App overview ->App Management -> App identity, you could find it on App identity page.

Regards.

Hello, you can refer to the MSDN in this link:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/mt228343.aspx

Especially for UWP, I suggest to use "ms-windows-store://review/?ProductId=<YOUR_UWP_PRODUCT_ID>".

The product id is much more useful than PFN.
