User Ratings and ACT Community Ratings
Ratings are displayed graphically in the User Ratings column and the Community Assessment column. The rating color and bar count depend on how the users or community rated the item. There are three possible ratings:
- Works. Applications with this rating
receive five green bars.
- Works with minor issues or has
solutions. Applications with this rating receive three
light-green bars.
- Does not work. Applications with this
rating receive a single red bar.
The color gradient from one to five bars shows the average rating.
