rate.fmDownloadOut of ten.
Every score on rate.fm is a number from 0 to 10, down to the tenth. No stars to count, no thumbs. This is the whole system.
Drag across the bars. Each one is half a point.
Three colours. No adjectives.
Under 5 is red. 5 to 7.9 is yellow. 8 and up is green.
The mark beside every score fills from left to right with the number, so a shelf reads from across the room. There are no words for the ranges. 8.3 means 8.3.
Every rating starts at 7.0.
Open the composer and the wheels are already on 7.0. Spin the first for the whole number and the second for the tenth, or tap the digits and type.
Give something a 10 and the decimal wheel fades out. A ten has no decimal to give.
Rate without stopping the music.
In the player and on the Lock Screen, the score is twenty bars under your thumb. Each bar is half a point, so the whole scale is one swipe.
Once a score is in, the chip beside it steps a tenth down or up. No composer needed.

Slide to score it
The chip in the player moves a tenth at a time.
Score everything.
Songs. Albums. Artists. The cover art, on its own. And, if they turn it on, a person’s taste.
One score per thing per person. Change it whenever you like; the latest one counts.
Albums add up.
Rate every song on a record and rate.fm offers the average as your album score. Tap it and the composer opens on that number.
Interludes stay out of the maths: anything under 90 seconds, or a short track called intro, outro, interlude or skit. Rate one yourself and it counts.
The suggestion is a starting point. Your album score is whatever you post.
Your songs average 8.6

A heart is not a score.
A score says how good it is. A heart says it’s yours. Love a song and the heart sits with the number, or stands in for it.
You can also post with no score at all. A sentence or a photo is enough.

“Side B is the whole reason to own this.”
A sentence or a photo is enough to post.
What everyone thinks.
The score on an album page is a plain average: one opinion per person, their latest, with every pressing of the record folded into one.
Critics count the same as anyone else. You can narrow the number to your friends, or to critics only.
Charts don’t fall for one ten.
Rankings pull every record toward 7.0 with the weight of five ratings. A single 10 ranks like a 7.5. Twenty people at 9.2 rank like an 8.8.
The number you see never changes. Only the order does. Best New means released this year, at least three raters, averaging 8.0 or more.
Shown as you gave it.
8.5 is 8.5. 7.0 is 7.0. Only a perfect score drops the decimal and reads 10.
If you’d rather see a star than the mark, switch it in Settings. The number stays.
