Bug Description
App ratings are displayed as ☆ 4.5. Every time I glance at an app's rating my first thought is that it's been rated low, because it's only got one star. Then I read the number and realise that the app is rated highly and that star means "here is the rating", not "it's got a one-star rating". As far as I can tell everywhere a star rating is displayed it's on a line on its own, so there ought to be room to write ☆☆☆☆☆ 4.5 (nine characters) -- there is room to fit the developer name horizontally, or the app name -- and this would avoid the confusion.
====== UX Comment ======
This bug has been addressed in the new cards design and the rating attribute will be presented with 5 stars and the number of reviews or average rating depending on content type and service provider. I will add the cards attributes design specification to this bug as soon as it's available.
However, since this fix is part of a bigger redesign project, we can address this bug now by adding 5 unicode stars instead of one with the average rating value inline, as suggested in the bug description. For example, ★★☆☆☆ 2.3
(Once we implement the new cards, we should be able to display partially filled stars).

The same happens to me, every time. I agree with the proposed change.
I'm adding the Ubuntu-UX team so they can evaluate the proposal, and do the change wherever a star rating is shown on the phone.
