 * Hi,
    I’m creating an app to show posts from my wordpress websites, and I would
   also like to let app users to add their ratings. I’m currently sending a json
   request to the server, but I would like to know if there is a function to easily
   update the post rating

 * You can update the post ratings via the normal custom post meta, it uses ratings_average,
   ratings_users and ratings_score.
 * ratings_average = average of the post
    ratings_score = the cumulative of the 
   user’s ratings ratings_users = total users who rated the post

 * You can write your own SQL to update it?
