feature: Genuineness of reviews submitted #2

@HashirGJ8842 How do you plan to insure users the genuineness of reviews submitted by fellow users? I suggest to use a up-vote/down-vote feature for the same.

Sorry, I didn't quite get you. Anyways, if you're asking from where I am getting the ratings data, it's from GoodReads API. Else if you're trying to reference how Google Play deleted so many spam reviews of TikTok, the feature isn't there currently. Do you like to add this feature and the other one?

If you are solely dependent on GoodReads API , what will be use of taking user reviews? The user would directly move to GoodReads page to get their ratings. I suggest adding a voting feature to each review. This will help other users getting better information about the book. Sites like Stack Overflow use 'em.

Okay, i get what you're sayin'. I didn't want to change those rating coz, it would mean one more column added to the database, which is not static, as the GoodReads API is not static, it keeps getting updated too.

So along with their updates, if we add this upvoting and downvoting feature in this project, it would've been a stretch, as a new column must be made in which ratings are present of our database, anyway, would you like to work on this issue then?
