I have an Ubuntu Unity computer where Software Center has GIMP with 3122 ratings. I gave it 5 () in rating. After that, I have installed Ubuntu Gnome in another computer, and went there to see my review and rating. There are only 1171 ratings for GIMP there. My review is also missing.
What is the reason, and how to fix this issue?
Nowadays, Ubuntu also supports the new "Snap" package management system in addition to the traditional APT system. Several packages that are available as APT package are also available as Snap. For "Software Centre", these are different packages, and indeed also show as different packages. So your review will appear only with the package where you added your review. You cannot "fix" the issue else than reposting your review also with the other package.
In Ubuntu 21.04, Software centre only shows one entry for the same application, and then allows to select a source if there are multiple sources. Still, reviews are collected for each specific source only.
