What happened to the star ratings in the Music app in iOS 9.3?
So I just updated to iOS 9.3 and everything seems fine overall. But when I launch the Music app, I used to be able tap on the name of a track while it was playing to view/edit the star rating. But now if I do that it just oddly brings me to the same track again… And again… And again…
Is this a “feature” or something? The UX on this seems weird. Is Apple ditching star rating for the hearts/love thing? What’s the deal.
So I accidentally figured this issue out. Where before you could click on the name of a track to view/edit the star rating, now the UX for that is to click on the album artwork. The artwork blurs and the star ratings show up dead center in that area; see picture below.
Still doesn’t explain the weird UX of tapping the current track name bringing you to the same current track name again and again. But at least star ratings are still a part of the Music app in iOS 9.3!
