Video Tutorial
1. Flutter Smooth Star rating ( library 1)
This library is the best library as it comes with a star rating with touch and even it enables to swipe rating to star review. It’s named as smooth star rating flutter because this library will detect this gesture you make on the flutter star rating icon to give the rating.
This are the feature of this library:
Change the default star icons with your desired Icons.
Give user to rate using half rate or full ( Eg : 2.5 rating or 4.5 rating )
swiping on icon will increment/decrement the rating bar star.
and many more feature.
