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!

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.

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

[-] astro_ray@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Niquarl@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Okay so looking on codeberg it seems the reviews are really limited to only some POIs if I understand correctly :

Bump mangrove-osm-coder to include reviews for more POI types. In v 0.6.0 we include reviews for OSM elements with tags:

amenity=*

leisure=*

natural=rock

shop=*

tourism=*

version 0.6.1 adds:

craft=*

healthcare=*

natural=beach

office=*

public_transport=station

So I was specifically looking at restaurants and didn't see any reviews...

I've seen reviews for a restaurant and a tea house- could be that the places you were looking at just didn't have any mangrove reviews yet.
