Hi

I am trying to implement a like button in my app so when user clicks it, it increases the like counter by 1 and other users will see it as well but can’t get it to work properly.

OK still working on this but so far using change variable block seems to make a bit of a difference but still not perfect yet.

Hi there,

This would be easiest with a cloud variable that gets +1 when a user clicks the like Button.

You can even have the cloud variable update on the user’s screen when other users like (or dislike) your item in real time! You can read about implementing this [here](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables#for-cloud-variables-updating-when-the-cloud-database-changes).

Thanks for the update. I did make it work using airtable. Only implemented like and no dislike or unlike which works for me for now.
