Public DE apps can be rated and commented on by other CyVerse users. This is useful for providing feedback such as questions about how to use the app, suggestions for improvements, errors in the app or app documentation, useful tips, or letting the integrator and other users know how you use the app.

The Apps list has a Rating column containing 5 stars, ranging from 1 (Not Useful) to 5 (Exceptional). Red stars are the average user rating given by other users, yellow stars are the rating you gave the app, and no stars mean the app has not yet been rated by you or others. The number of ratings that have been received by users toward the rating is also displayed.
