Hello everyone,

I have been learning a lot from this community lately, so big thanks.  
Not sure if I should post this problem in “Bugs” or “Help & How to”.

I recently followed the tutorial from the wonderful @Robert_Petitto.  
The tutorial shows how to display average star ratings and can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiBejwlsl0w&t=1015s&ab_channel=RobertPetitto).

It works perfectly for my app when I see it in the browser and in Glide Layout, as you can see here :

 ![In Glide Browser view](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/c/2c8d907602af2fcced14a6b39af42fdd6d31f803.png)

Unfortunately it does not work on my phone, both Android and iPhone, as you can see here :

 ![Android](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/3/53b5f639018c45a2ecd4148744ea8d4ff3fe611f.png) ![Android.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/f/6fe009c3158ea804cd9120c671e364380ec1afd2.jpeg)

I can show emojis in text columns as I do often, but somehow when using if-then columns and template columns the emojis are not shown in my phone app.

I have varied the emojis that are used (lower Unicode version symbols versus higher versions), both do not work.

So my question is :  
Are there other people also having problems with showing emojis in template columns and if-then columns in their phone app? Is this a bug, or is there some setting I should look into?

Thank you in advance.

Another user on my YouTube channel said the same thing. So weird.

Seems to be issues at the moment with glide. Related?

I use lots of emojis in my apps (I get them from [https://emojipedia.org/](https://emojipedia.org/))  
Occasionally I find one that won’t render in the Android browser (which I assume is attributable to browser compatibility/support), but I’ve never known them to not work on iPhone (regardless of the source column type).

I also suspect related to the current problem

Update: I have pinpointed the difference between my settings and those of the tutorial from @Robert_Petitto .

I want to be able to show half ratings (half stars or hearts) ex.g. 3.6/5  
Robert only shows full ratings (full stars or hearts) ex.g. 4/5

When I follow the tutorial but use decimals for the “stars UI tab” instead of full values I have this :

Instead of this with the full ratings :

When using the same settings as the tutorial, unfortunately I cannot get a relation column between the average rating and my “Stars UI”, so I get this:

 ![Screenshot 2021-03-10 at 13.55.47](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/9/d969e58d452fdcab0aac74157c5f95ebdf0ee3de.png)

instead of this with the full ratings:

 ![Screenshot 2021-03-10 at 13.53.41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/3/93c0d4b853f39e2e0145e99725e19638314110e4.png)

As a solution, I have deleted the column RoundedRating and made a direct relation with AverageRating to the Star UI tab. The following is the result:

 ![Screenshot 2021-03-10 at 14.35.17](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/4/8425d8e2af519c98cf8a2c6db86f6e32e4cb5f5c.png)

This now seems to work on my phone, both on Android and iPhone, showing the full and half hearts !

I found what I did wrong yesterday. In the RoundedRating column I typed “round” instead of “round(average)” in the configuration cell and then used an extra template column to copy this column and make a relation. You can see this here and it seems fine, but gives problems on my phone.
