Though what is really important is to find the perfect time to ask for feedback. Many mobile apps ask for ratings and reviews immediately, but this can annoy customers as they are not yet familiar enough with the app to really give a score. Whether it is a button or a link does not matter; the important part is that you give your users a quick way to provide suggestions or criticisms. Also your users will appreciate that you are open to their feedback and that their input can shape the future of your app.

For your business, the greatest form of marketing is when your customer recommends for your product. People are more likely to buy/use, if something which is being recommended by their friends. Which is exactly why you must allow them to do that with your app. Implement a "share with friends" feature in your mobile app, which will allow your customer to share/recommend the mobile app with their friends. In the app, allow a user to enter a phone number or email, to send an invite directly to someone they know. Send them the recommended users with a link of the play/app store link to download the app and start using it. Also, you must provide a good default message template as a lot of times users do not spend too much time typing up the text. If you help your users by giving them easy and effective way to share with friends, you are the one who will be rewarded with many new users.
