Doesn’t do what it says on the tin.
Stars do not sync back to Apple Music on any other devices.
Unreliable, and will unintentionally rate unplayed songs
I tried this app well over a year ago and had a deal breaking issue. I couldn’t tie the issue to the Startone app, so I abstained from writing a review. After deleting the app over a year ago, fixing my ratings, reinstalling the app today (newer version), and listening to and rating a couple songs stored locally on my iPhone… I can unequivocally state that this app is the culprit. It rated songs I hadn’t even listed to. Additionally, it changed songs’ ratings that I’d methodically managed over the past 20+ years.
To fix the damage caused, I had to remove this app, synch my iPhone to my library, restart the iPhone, fix the ratings that this app broke (redundantly stored as text “***” in songs’ Comment tag), then re-synch.
If you actually care about keeping song ratings, my recommendation is to proceed with caution with this app. It is buggy/unstable at best, or worse… poorly designed. Either way, it can’t be trusted.

Fixing the things Apple won’t
Finally! I can’t believe the Apple Watch has come 8 generations without the ability to rate the songs like you can on every other one of their devices. Big thanks to the developer for creating this!
