Most ratings plugins contain too much code: inline JavaScript, messy markup, weird CSS. Rate is simple, hardly intrusive, and completely overridable.
A Post/Page/Custom Post Type’s rating is the average of all comment ratings. A user can leave a rating when commenting, and change that rating inline after leaving a comment (if logged-in or Cookie’d).
Don’t be afraid to play around and extend the code: drop a <code>rate.css</code> file in your theme directory and mine won’t even load (by default, Rate stars are transparent with a white border, so you can use <code>background-color</code> to set your stars’ colors)!
<pre><code><?php 
// in this version, you need to insert these functions into your theme for ratings to appear
// you don't have to use the_rating(), the comment_rating() will work by itself, but the_rating() will not

// for a Post, Page, or Custom Post Type (average of all comment ratings)
the_rating();

// for a comment
the_comment_rating();
?>
</code></pre>

tinyRatings is a fresh take on post ratings. It offers you simple rating styles – Like, Like/Dislike and the very traditional 5 stars rating. It takes advantage of the Rest API and the Dashicons font to deliver you fast, modern looking interface. Votes can be logged based on browser fingerprint (via FingerprintJS2 library), visitor’s IP address, user id for logged in users.
Unlike other similar plugins tinyRatings is not limited to posts, pages and custom post types. You can also insert ratings for categories, tags, other taxonomy terms and event for different sections in the post. Developers will find action and filter hooks that will allow them to use tinyRatings in pretty much any scenario.
