the average rating problem

The people who install a software think the software's description goes
towards their objectives. If the software does what its author says that
it does extremely well, those people rate it 5. I see lots of software
whose description doesn't even go towards my objective, but are still
rated 5. I mean, software that I'm not interested in using above
software that I'm interested in using in the lists. That's really weird!
We must keep track of usage interest. If a software is read by 100
people and 90 from among them choose to install it, that means 90% are
interested in using it.
To keep track of what apps were read, we can 1: mark read, mark unread,
save marks, load marks.
To keep track of what apps were read, we can 2: don't show more than one
app at the same time, show mini description, expand to full description,
collapse to mini description and a link to the next app in the current
category.
In my opinion, 2 is better than 1.
