Star Rating Picker

Create a star rating display for reviews and feedback.

Ratings at a glance

A star rating shows a score visually, as filled and empty stars, which is instantly readable in a way a number is not. This creates a star rating display you can use for reviews, feedback or showing a score.

Why stars communicate so well

The star rating is one of the most successful pieces of interface design because it conveys a quality judgement instantly and universally — people grasp four stars out of five at a glance, without reading, and the visual fill communicates the proportion faster than any number. This is why it has become the standard for reviews across shopping, apps, films and services. A few things make a star display work: showing partial stars for in-between scores, making clear what the scale is out of, and pairing it with the number of ratings so a single five-star review is not mistaken for a broadly loved product. Whether you are displaying an average score or collecting feedback, the star format taps into a visual shorthand that people already understand completely, which is exactly what makes it so effective at communicating a rating at a glance.
