How do you leave a review on the Google Play Store without a Google+ account?

I would like to leave reviews for some of the Android apps I really appreciate. But leaving reviews on the Google Play Store requires signing up for Google+. Like many others, I refuse to add Google+ (or any social network) to my Google account. So I thought I would just sign up for another empty Google account, and add Google+ to that. Problem solved. Or so I thought. When I tried to leave the first review, Google Play Store refused to let me leave the review, saying that I hadn't installed the app yet. Furthermore, it said that the account wasn't associated with any devices. Ugh. Most of the apps are free apps and a few are ones I have purchased. I've noticed that many people have simply chosen to never leave reviews ever since Google made the poor decision to require a Google+ account in order to leave a review on the Play Store. Is there a way to easily do what I am trying to accomplish? BTW, before anyone asks, no, I'm not trying to leave more than one review for any app. I just want to leave a positive review for the apps I enjoy using.
