Comment 1 Harald Sitter 2025-07-10 08:33:04 UTC 
Code looks fishy

>             visible: (reviewsSheet.sortModel.count > 0 || reviewsModel.fetching || reviewsError.hasError)

if there are no reviews already the model.count would be 0 and thus the entire reviews section is !visible.

Allow writing reviews for apps with no existing reviews

Right now Discover hides the entire "Reviews" section for apps with no
reviews, which prevents them from getting any (at least from Discover).

Instead, allow the section to always be visible, and show a standard
placeholder message when there are no reviews.
FIXED-IN: 6.5.0
