But your paid for app does request a rating when using it? That’s what people call a nag screen

Yes.

No. Where do you get "screen from?
Ironically, there are some comments here that suggest I do the something that I'm in fact doing already:

People read the single word "nag" and assumed something much worse than the reality. If you define "nag" as any request for a review, regardless of the form in which it appears, then you could say that it nags, but as soon as you start talking about a nag screen, covering content, a modal dialog, etc., that's a totally inaccurate depiction of what my app does.
