Server Version#: 1.32.1.6999  
Player Version#: 4.106.1

How is it possible that I can give half stars in the mobile app but not the web app???  
Am I supposed to like more or less the movies if I watch them on a browser than if I do on a mobile phone? So, I liked Spiderman 3.5 stars on my phone but just 3 on my browser apparently.  
This is so incredibly wrong that I cannot believe it’s being there for such a long time already.

It’s definitely possible in 4.106.1 (and the bundled app, 4.100.1 in the latest server version):

I’m not aware of anything special I had to do to get it working.

It works on all media types for me. Tried in Chrome 113 as well, no difference (this gif is from a Discover item, but it works on all of my personal media as well):

Try on your actual media and not within discover ? I’m seeing the same behaviour within local media.

It appears this half star ability is currently intertwined with participation in the Discover Together feature. [Discover Together Beta : Announcement & Feedback](https://forums.plex.tv/t/discover-together-beta-announcement-feedback/800886/1)  
Users who are participating in the test, will currently see the half stars, users who don’t, won’t.

I understand that work is underway to decouple these in a future release.
