Hey!

I’m making an app in which users can share books, and I’m wondering how to use the rating component so that all the ratings are saved and will appear whenever a user views a book. Should this be done on Airtable? Also, would it be possible to display the average rating on the app?  
Thanks!

@codeswept, yes you need to store the ratings in a database but first you need to decide whether n the range. Should it be 5 or 10 or whatever number you decide on.

Great, then all you need is a field in the table to store the rating of the book and in the screen you need to check that the user will not enter anything outside the range.
