We’re all a little obsessed with comparing our Uber ratings, but until now, we’ve only been able to see a vague average score for our performance as a passenger.
The taxi app is now changing the game with a new feature, which lets you see exactly how many five-star (and one-star, eek) reviews you’ve received from your drivers.
Uber has rolled out the feature this week as part of the app’s new Privacy Centre.
It allows users to see how their total star rating has been calculated across all of their trips, by seeing all the ratings they’ve received.

Passengers and Uber drivers can rate each other after trips from one to five stars to help inform other riders and drivers.

Since launching the new feature, people have been collectively horrified to see how many one-star ratings they’ve been given.
On Twitter, Manchester-based Harry Jones said: “I just want to talk.”
To find yours, go to the settings menu in your Uber app, then click privacy, then Privacy Centre.
Then scroll across to ‘Would you like to see a summary of how you use Uber?’ and click ‘see summary’.

From here, you can scroll down to the Ratings section, and click ‘View my ratings’, which will show you how many of each star-rating you’ve received from your trips.
Uber has given some tips to help people improve their rating, too.
They said you should make sure to take your rubbish with you, wear your seatbelt, be prompt for your pick-up time, be respectful to your driver, and don’t slam the door – apparently a major gripe.
Uber said on its website: “The launch of the Privacy Center, which is available to all users globally, highlights our mission of being a trusted steward of our users’ personal data in every market where we operate.

“By offering more transparency and easier access to your data, we hope this gives you all you need to have a 5-star experience on every ride.”

Manchester Storm have already set a new record before they’ve even returned ‘home’
Danny Jones
Manchester Storm have already broken a record ahead of next season, and they’ve done it before they’ve even made it back to their original stadium.
Just goes to show that the ice hockey following here in Greater Manchester hasn’t gone anywhere.
Following the news that Manchester Storm will be returning to the city centre for the 2026/27 campaign, they’ve had a flood of interest from both new and old fans.
With that in mind, it didn’t take long for the native team to reveal that they have already set a new record for season ticket sales just a few weeks on from the announcement.
Sharing an update on social media, they write: “Manchester Storm supporters have delivered incredible demand for 2026/27 Season Tickets, with the club recording its highest-ever sales within the first week and the strongest total in its modern history.
“Thank you, Manchester, for your amazing support.”
Crediting ticketing partner StubHero for helping deliver “a smooth experience during this period of exceptional demand” for followers of the local outfit, they’re even set to give away the next milestone season ticket away completely FREE as part of the ‘homecoming’ celebrations.
Writing further in an official statement, they went on to add: “The move back to the AO Arena represents far more than just a change of venue or a return home…
“It marks the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for the club, built around bigger crowds, bigger occasions, and an unforgettable gameday experience in one of the UK’s premier entertainment venues.
Speaking in an interview with internal media, CEO and owner Emma Finnerty said that they’re not just aiming to grow their reputation in Britain: “Our vision is to become the biggest club in Europe.
“When you think of Manchester, you think of Manchester United and Manchester City – and then hopefully we’ll come third after them.”
While the former ‘Storm Shelter’ stadium at Planet Ice Altrincham only held a maximum of 2,500 spectators, serving them more than faithfully over the past decade or so, the AO Arena can literally hold almost ten times that amount. Here’s hoping they get close to full week in and week out.
As hockey fandom continues to grow across the UK, it feels like a better time than ever for supporters to get involved with the sport – and, as ever, they’re keen to get people as involved as possible.

Manchester United and Lionesses star Ella Toone is now officially an MBE

Man United Women and Lionesses star Ella Toone is now officially an MBE after collecting the award this week.
The Greater Mancunian has grown to become one of the most influential female players of the modern era, and now her impact has been immortalised by the monarchy.
Being recognised for services to the discipline on Tuesday, 19 May, the local athlete finally collected her accolade at Windsor Castle.
Presented to her by Prince William, the Tyldesley-born attacker said in a statement: “It’s been amazing. It’s a bit of a pinch-me moment to be here and be honoured with an MBE.
“I never thought when I started out playing football I’d now be called Ella Toone MBE, so it’s a bit crazy.”
Having suffered a tough time out with injury, the 26-year-old also insists she is now back feeling “better and stronger than ever.”
With Sarina Wiegman’s official squad selection for the qualifiers ahead of FIFA’s 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, she’s also looking forward to reuniting with her England teammates.
Here she is talking to Sky ahead of the games, not long after receiving the award:
"I've missed it so much, can't wait to be back with the girls" 🏴

Speaking back in December, she confessed that it’s all been “a bit mad” for her ever since she learned of the news, but her worthiness speaks for itself.
Winning not only back-to-back Euros titles with the national side, along with the first-ever UEFA Women’s Finalissima trophy in 2023, but also inspiring young kids dreaming of becoming footballers across the country and beyond.
Congratulations once again, ‘Tooney’ – beyond well-deserved.
Across the city, it’s great to see yet more groundbreaking investment in the women’s game being made for generations to come.
