| Issue 4258: | Google Places API Reviews, changing the sorting order? | |
| 68 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
The Google Places API was recently updated to display 5 reviews from a location. But I noticed that these reviews are sorted by "Most Helpful" and not by "Latest". Could there be some consideration around displaying the reviews by "Latest"? I think it would be incredibly helpful to know when a new review gets posted. Or perhaps could an option be included to allow developers to select how the top 5 reviews are sorted? I believe this would give developers the ability to then build tools that could notify the business owner of when a review was posted. The way that the reviews are currently sorted it's not possible to identify when new reviews are posted. ********************************************************* For developers viewing this issue: please click the 'star' icon to be notified of future changes, and to let us know how many of you are interested in seeing it resolved. *********************************************************

It will be a great help for marketers to manage the reviews for their clients and we find the restriction in an application we are building for our client.

I would love to see this option added as well. Users generally make decisions based on the most recent online reviews.

This feature is needed badly.. we can't do much with only 5 reviews.. a notification when a new review hits would be priceless....

Having the ability to sort by "latest" would take this API to the next level. This modification is badly needed, please give us a status on this ASAP.

+1 for this feature. I would need this urgently as well. The "5 most helpful" are not very useful at all. "I believe this would give developers the ability to then build tools that could notify the business owner of when a review was posted. The way that the reviews are currently sorted it's not possible to identify when new reviews are posted." This is absolutely true.

Please Google, please. We need this very much

This is a badly needed feature for Google to keep up. We can drive reviews much better with this feature. Is there any update on this yet?

Just use the same ordering options your own user interface provides. Most helpful, latest, highest score and lowest score.

Should be able to fetch all reviews instead of just 5. I get more business when people can see that I have a lot of good reviews.

What happened to this? All we need is for the API to show the latest 5 reviews not the 5 most helpful. Is this not going to be a thing?
Feb 25, 2016
Agreed, this would be a very simple and very helpful change. Most recent 5!

Hi Google, has this feature been implemented yet? I've been searching for a way to change the default sort order of my reviews in the Knowledge Graph on Google search from "Most helpful" to "Most recent". This is really important because we've been working hard on improving our service and introducing new features so the most recent reviews provide people with the most accurate reflection the quality of the service we provide. Sorting the list of reviews chronologically will provide businesses with more incentive, and reward them, for providing customers with a quality service.

Looks like it has been acknowledged about 3 years ago without an update. Status: Acknowledged Labels: Internal-9743973 |
