And stop too much of Rate This App popups because there is chance of giving negative feedback. Stop showing Rate This App prompts once the customer done his Rating.

Try to give importance for their suggestions and advices. Come up with their ideas and make app more user friendly for every update. Understand the main issues and update your app regularly with the bug fixes and with the new features. But too often updates will irritate, keep in mind.
