First, apologies if this email is slightly off topic, I figured you all would be the best people to ask for help.
GNOME Software in F24 allows people to write an end-user review of specific apps so other users can better choose the correct application to install. So far we've had loads of great reviews from hundreds of people, but the majority are just in English, en_GB, en_US and en_IN etc. A lot of users in other locales are writing reviews in English too.
For F25 we're planning to show the "star rating" of each application more prominently in the search results, and this requires good high quality data from end users like yourselves. This star rating is made up from end-users reviews, and although we've got over 400 reviews already since the release of F24 a lot of these are for popular applications like the GIMP and a huge number of applications are missing ratings data. This is going to make the UI in F25 look non-awesome, so I'm asking for your help.
If you've got a spare minute or two, I'd really appreciate it if you could write as many reviews as you can in your native language for apps you either love or hate, perhaps concentrating first on the applications we install by default, or the applications we've chosen to be "featured" in the various categories. Even having a couple of reviews in each language for just the core apps would be awesome and would look great in the F25 release notes.
Thanks,
Richard
The idea is adding the stars or replacing written reviews by stars?
Cheers, Sylvia

We get the star ratings from averaging out all the ratings given as part of the review process.
Richard.
Oh! Thanks for explaining!
Cheers, Sylvia
Ah, okay. I misunderstood your email. I don't use Gnome Software, I'm Cinnamon. But I find interesting that it's possible to rate programmes like in Google Play.
Thanks, cheers, Sylvia S.
