Very cool to have the reviews moving forward. Right now mapcomplete let's you write reviews into the mangrove database. Going to update and check that out straightaway!

Édit: not yet updatable on fdroid 🫠

My fdroid shows i use version 2026.08.31 however i cannot see the reviews

The reviews only show up on places that have a mangrove review written for it. There is no trace of the feature on places that don't have them, which confused me at first.

Could you send a screenshot please? I can't see any.

You can see just the average rating when you click the poi, click on the stars and the reviews with text will show.

Try adding reviews to one of your favourite restaurants using mapcomplete and maybe on next map update you will see it.

I've added reviews to a couple restaurants in 2024 on mangrove. I tried looking those up didn't see any reviews.

Édit: If I understand correctly restaurants don't show reviews. Could you see restaurant reviews?

I can see restaurant reviews. https://comaps.at/_zVG4GleGj/Paatrani

CoMaps have a chatroom on telegram and matrix you can try asking them there or on the lemmy community or maybe open a new issue on their codeberg page.

Reviews may be the most important update for osm since 10 years
