# 👋 Hey all! I know Glide came out with their own Ratings component, but it doesn’t Roll up averages over user specific columns. I managed to come up with a custom-built solution that’s an improvement to a simple drop down menu of ratings. Here’s how: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/500e84831885d0e10c1109b6bf730a1a5c22b392.jpeg "Glide: Create your own 5-Star (or whatever) Rating Component") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7TEF5z5t7U) If you’d like to play around with an example, visit my Experiments app and visit the Ratings tab: [https://experiments.glideapp.io/](https://experiments.glideapp.io/) ---

As always @Robert_Petitto and its surprising innovations! I liked it, mainly because it shows the number of stars per user in the list. 👏 👏 👏 👏 ---

Hey @Robert_Petitto My choice component keeps disappearing after tapped. Video to explain better. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucUjfm5x-uI) Thanks! ---

This was happening to another user as well. Make sure all your columns are text columns and not emoji columns. ---

They are text columns. The emoji comes from and If-then-else that I created because for some reason templates, or at least on my end, are not reading lookups anymore. If that’s what you meant. ---

Hm. Might need to take a look at it. I know that the issue with the other user is that his rating column that was the desitination column for the star rating was a glide emoji column and not a glide basic column. Not sure what else the issue could be without seeing. ---

At a glance, it looks right…can you make your app copyable so I can take a deeper look? ---

Sure! Here’s the link [https://disastrous-trucks-4567.glideapp.io/](https://disastrous-trucks-4567.glideapp.io/) Best way to get there is scroll down to “Supermercados” and tap the one market that’s there. ---

Weird. Not sure what the issue is, but here’s the workaround: [https://www.loom.com/share/a23f2ff89bf049068f4edab316bf0146](https://www.loom.com/share/a23f2ff89bf049068f4edab316bf0146) ---

Thanks man! It may be that I used the PC and iPad to created. No idea. Thanks a lot for the workaround. ---

Actually, though, now that the rating component can be placed in a form, it’s a heckuva lot easier create ratings: No array column needed. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-custom-rating-component/11286.md?page=2)
