Hi all, I've recently been really unhappy with the order in which applications appear in the Ubuntu Store.
Apparently, apps are currently only sorted by their star ratings. However, when an app gets popular, users start to use the ratings section as a way to request new features or to report bugs. This often goes hand in hand with bad ratings and messages similar to "Implement A and I'll give you 5 stars". As a result, most top-notch applications are beaten by webapps whose owners give them a single 5 star rating. This is exactly the reason why one cannot find Dekko and Telegram in the communication category easily. In my opinion, such an app with a single 5 star rating should never be shown above an app with hundreds of reviews and an average rating of 4.x. Brian Douglass has recently introduced an additional "heart rating" in his appstore [1] which does the job very well in my opinion. Would it be possible to use a similar approach in the official Ubuntu Store scope? Cheers, Niklas [1] https://uappexplorer.com/apps?sort=-points
