I have tried to give a “stars” rating to a recipe, Apple punch and it won’t take. I got message that I have to leave a comment before I can rate it. I left a comment and I still can’t rate it and I get the same message. Motorola Android phone.

Yeah I’ve found it don’t work for shyt , if the rating is already at 5 stars, you have to enter your comment, go back up and lower then raise the rating, then go back down and post your comment. I’m on an iPhone so may be different for others

I’ve been having the same issue, same pop up message, (Android) just trying to do the right thing for the creator, but I can’t sort it… mainly just butcher my own recipes, but like to try good recipes from time to time, I try to just make a 5⭐ in the comments until I work it out.

Yes, I am having trouble with adding stars. It is not working, even with the above fixes (iphone user as well). It may be the reason why many recipes arent rated…Too bad, as it could be a useful tool imo. At least the comments work

You have to interact with the stars above the recipe when you comment, if they are already 5 gold stars that’s somebody else’s rating.

You have to make a comment. Then the star will stay.

Click the stars you want then click the link it creates to comment.
