voting and commenting - how to store the rating data
<p>If i have an app that s a list of hotels with basic info of them (location, rating, pricing, etc), and i want to allow users of my app to vote for a specific hotel (giving it a "stars" rating and a few line comment - much like a rating in the Android Market), how and where do i store thoe rating so they will be available to other app users? i guess it should be online, but how?</p>

<p>Is it recommendable to allow the app to publish the rating online but do the calculations and add the comments on the next app update?</p>

<p>if i decide the latter, how do i control the database that has the comments stored because every comment requires its own field right? so can i have the unified DB for all the data (my info on the hotels, rating, comments) that is automatically expandable for the extra fields for comments? </p>

<p>i hope you undestand what i am asking here...</p>
