Amazon Star Ratings Are Broken. Please Leave a Review.
Added 2025-12-02 18:07:02 +0000 UTCBottom line up front: Please leave a written review if you can.
I don’t usually complain about Amazon, but this time it’s affecting the release of Wild Era 3.
The rating system appears to be completely broken at the moment.
There’s 258 readings for the book on Goodreads so far, which is usually about 60% of Amazon. That means there would usually be 400 to 500 ratings for the book on Amazon.
There’s 23.
It doesn’t look like any star-only rating has actually posted.
Of those ratings, 22 of them are associated with reviews. I believe the 23rd one is a UK review that’s not showing up in the US yet.
It appears that the only thing going through is a written review.
And some of those aren’t working, but you can go into Content and click edit and save, and that seems like it will force it to post.
So if you can, please leave a written review.
Not just for my book, but for other books too, because this appears to be a system-wide problem.
Thanks for the help and for looking out for your authors.
If you did leave a star rating, you could try it again, or maybe they will fix it eventually and you could go back and leave it later.
Cheers,
David
