How can I rate a comic?

When I start to watch a comic with my mobile phone (tapastic app), I can see, that there must be a possibility to rate it. The comic "Strays" for example has 4,5 of 5 stars atm and 317 ratings. But it's not possible to rate by myself. I only can watch the episodes, make comments and like it etc.
The webbrowser version of Tapastic does not even show the rating. So I wonder, what this is about.
Any help?

I believe Tapastic removed the rating function. I'm not sure their exact reason, but I can assume it's because not many people actually used it (my own comic, for example, has nearing 400 subs but it was only rated maybe like, 2 or 3 times lol) and it was a bit of a waste of a function as a whole.

The fact that the stars are still showing up in the mobile version means they must not have removed the visibility of it there yet x)

There was a rating system? O.O
I've been absent too long to notice then lol.
Tapastic is doing a lot of changes now I hear, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Haha, it was a mix of things... for one: it didn't really do anything... hahaha. Well, it gave users the ability to give really arbitrary feedback that we felt didn't help the creators at all. Also, we noticed that readers didn't really pay much attention to the star rating system, both in terms of using it to rate series and also to discover new series. All in all, we wanted to retire it in favor of something more beneficial.

The apps are about three versions behind the current web browser version. Sorry about that.
