You raise good points and i like the proposal. I just wonder, if i am the user and i am being asked to review, say, a list of 10 apps i have removed and/or installed, how would we present the review dialog in a way which wouldn't be too burdensome to step through for each app? This could easily become a chore and put people off reviewing the apps. Moreover, if i couldnt be bothered reviewing the apps, I would prob get annoyed after a while if i couldnt dismiss the lobby message. In this context people could perceive it as a nag. Perhaps you would want to back the lobby message up with non-intrusive/subtle button in the applist which brings up the review dialog.
