Sorry, this has been on our ToDo for a while. I have now found someone

Hi Martin,
Is there anything going on regarding app sorting at the moment? It's still
a major issue I have with the store (and one I cannot fix myself).

Ah, ok. With a true Bayesian average this is correct. Brian's appstore
still displays a review of 0 for unrated apps tho

In the scope, not exactly. However, ratings have always been attached to
the version of the app. If

Until now, we've had two suggestions: the Bayesian average and the

Related to this we have a bit of an issue with one of the core apps.

Thanks. I'd really like to see it as soon as possible. ;)

The server has added an API to allow it, yes. It needs a bit of time

Hi Martin,
Thank you very much for your reply. :)
I checked out the article you referred to in your post and it looks great.
I'd love to see that implemented in the store.
Given the fact that I can't help out myself, how long do you think will it

Thanks to all of you for answering here while I was sleeping.
To me it seems that we agree we should improve the sorting algorithm. I
acknowledge the problem of having no way to deal with unfair reviews but I
believe this should overall be separated from the sorting problem, even
though a better s

It's pretty simple. Default to a score of 50% (3 stars?), and
adjust that score up or down based on ratings. Adjust

There are pretty simple scoring mechanisms which should be able
to vastly improve the sorting...

Hi Rodney,
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my post.
I think I should have explained better what I wanted.
My point isn't to display a second rating like the unofficial app store
currently does. I think it is fine to display the arithmetical average in
the search results.

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
