Facebook appears to have rejiggered its user ratings for applications, following the return of the five-star ratings system late last month with a new “rate apps” module.
Sister blog Inside Facebook reported that some users are seeing the new module on pages across the social network, adding that the “rate recently used apps” section under users’ bookmarks has been resdesigned, as well, to account for the five-star system.
