General Considerations

The Ratings and Reviews functionality is designed to allow merchants, hereinafter referred to as "Users," to submit one-to-five-star ratings and accompanying reviews regarding their experience with an application they are subscribed to, hereinafter referred to as "App," the App Center. Similarly, App developers, hereinafter referred to as "Providers," may also respond to reviews directly to answer questions and address User concerns.

It will also be displayed in sections such as recommendations, vertical categorizations, and search results.

We have also established a straightforward equation to calculate the App's overall rating, adding up all ratings and dividing them by the total amount of ratings. (See example below)

• X = Total sum of ratings
• Y = Total count of ratings
• X/Y = App's rating

In this example, the App has received four different ratings, each one with a specific star value.

• 1st Rating = 4 stars
• 2nd Rating = 3 stars
• 3rd Rating = 5 stars
• 4th Rating = 4 stars
• ______________
• X = 16
• Y = 4
• X/Y = 16/4 = 4 stars

After replacing the variables, the final App rating for this appl
