Course ratings should show recent first

Currently shows my rating and description first. Then defaults to recommended. Must then select recent. Would prefer to have recent as the default choice.

Hi Darrel, can you give me a bit more information here? What screen are you referring to this sort being on? :smiley:

Hi, Markell

For example, when I go to my home course, West Fork Disc Golf Course, I scroll down the course overview to Ratings. This shows the various categories such as Upkeep, Tee areas, and such, with a numerical rating for each. It then shows at the bottom of that list my rating, listed as “You”. Immediately below that are two boxes: Rate Course and Show All. When I open Show All, the next screen displays: 3360 ratings with a 4.2 level. Immediately below on the next line it shows “100 reviews”. On that same line is shown an up/down arrow, and the default category “Recommended”. I can use the arrows to select “Action Menu” with alternate categories: “Most recent”, “Most helpful”, “Reviewer experience”.
I would prefer the default category to be “Most Recent” rather than “Recommended”.

Hope this helps

Thanks so much for the explanation Darrel. I see now exactly what you are referring to. I will pass this feedback along to the team! :slight_smile:

I concur - reviews from two months ago don’t really help I would much rather see the most current ones first and then work back in time .

I quite like that it tries to put to put the most recommended reviews first. I would rather see a review comment that is well liked rather than the most recent ones that might just say “It was windy today” or whatever.

I too would rather see ‘Most Helpful’ or ‘Most Recent’ as the default top of list when looking at Course Reviews. Right now it is defaulted to ‘Recommended’ but w/no explanation as to who Recommended or what criteria was used. Can this be configured/changed?.

Appreciate everyone’s feedback here! Just to clarify, the recommended filter utilizes a combination of “Most recent” and “Most helpful” which means you should see reviews that are actually relevant based on date and have been voted as helpful. “Most helpful” is obviously a relative term, so some reviews may not be as helpful you as it is for someone else - to each their own :slight_smile:

Jenn,

I think there is a bug then in your Recommended algorithm then as I see Reviews w/no
Helpful votes near the top:

Thanks for pointing this example out, Greg! For this course, almost every review that was voted as helpful only has 1 vote. The recommended sort weights helpfulness + most recent, but as a review gets older it’s prioritized a bit lower as it may be outdated in comparison to a more recent review. This is why you might see newer reviews, like some at this course, that have no upvotes but are displaying a bit higher.

Hope this helps clarify!
