Star Ratings - workarounds or time to move on?

[mkaen]

Wonderful!

Hallelujah

How do you get the rating pop-up to show?

Also, I wish it was a little bit more elegant than that. It would be wicked cool if the album cover turned around or darkened to show the star rating.

It's better than nothing, but they sure don't make it too easy to get to. I miss just taping the album cover to see it. Sometimes I just like to refer to what rating I've given to a song while I'm listening to it.

Not as usable as the rating widget anyway
Cesium FTW!

Star ratings are not gone yet and that's a great news!

I don't have that option in Settings on my iPhone.

Using iOS 10.2 beta 1?

You have to rate at least one song in iTunes for the star rating option to show up.

Hurrah! It looks like users can influence decisions after all.

Wow, so glad to have this feature back! I count this as a win for consumers making their voices heard. Thanks so much to everyone that took the time to comment and submit feedback to Apple.

That said, I am mildly disappointed the "tap album cover" method was not used. The menu location for ratings is more difficult to access and not as user friendly.

But enough complaining from me. Star ratings are back. Hell yeah!

Somewhat hard to say what's really behind some of these kinds of things.

Idiocy?

Very weird behaviour.

I thought we were in the "Post-PC" era?

Using iOS 10.2 beta 1?

Oh. I understand now. Didn't pay attention to the time stamp on the post.

 

[Dj64Mk7]

I updated to 10.2 beta, and I can't access star ratings.

I'm so glad this feature is back.

 

[Shirasaki]

Just one reason I jump back iOS beta ship again. But I don't know how long this would last.

Not quite yet.
This is industry's responsibility to bring everyone into that era, not ours.
And "always prepare for plan b" means we can never abandon PC in our daily life completely.

When talking the "Post-PC" era, I wonder why Apple never called it the "Post-Mac" era...

Because the Mac falls under the personal computer classification. A personal computer can be a Windows desktop, Mac laptop, and run Ubuntu, Fedora, or whatever, so the term covers all the definitions to what a PC would be to anyone.

And most people still have never owned a Mac.

And most people still have never owned a Mac.

The most unfortunate fact of all.
