First, here’s how to leave a review on Spotify
You’d think the world’s biggest music streaming platform would make it easy to leave a note on your favorite podcasts. Unfortunately, there’s no way to leave a written review. Good news: In December 2021, Spotify finally released a podcast rating system. Once you listen to a podcast for at least 30 seconds, you get the option to rate it between one and five stars. Return to the podcast’s main page and tap the star icon. Then, tap Submit. Of course, you can also do this on your desktop. While on the Spotify app, head to the podcast page, tap the three horizontal lines and select Rate show. If you’re new to Spotify, you may not know about its most incredible features.
