CURRENT FEATURE
RECIPE

With the stars and ratings under the picture a user is unsure of what happens when clicking on this part of the screen. Does it open other user's ratings or the opportunity for one to add their own, or both?

GETTING INSPIRED FROM WEB DESIGN

web-view-rating-and-comments

Looking into the kitchen stories website i wanted to create a design that brought ratings and comments in the user's view.

Designing Solutions

Current rate screens

When viewing the recipe, stars and rating is visible under the picture, comments show when scrolling.

How can we bring the two together to be visible for the user at once?

RATE
REVIEWS

SOLUTION OPTION 1

Changing the look of the star ratings created more space to have all information together.

Solution-1-1

SOLUTION OPTION 2

Simplified look, stars (rating) and comments together. User has to click 'READ' to find both options

SOLUTION OPTION 3
Review and ratings in same area

This idea kept comments and rating as two different section but close together. However it also removed the recipe ratings from the top of the screen.

NEXT STEPS

The initial testing has shown the direction of where to make changes. As a next step i would be testing the final solution to see how the users interact with it and to understand if the changes i have created, made the user flow better, removing any uncertainties.
