Amazon Rating Display Change?

Hi All
Is it me or has Amazon changed how it displays ratings? Previously I would click on ratings then on five star and Amazon displayed the number of 5* ratings the book has received. Same process for 4*, 3* etc. Now it only displays percentages which I know is not the actual percentage but is a figure determined by an algorithm so pretty useless if you just want to know numbers. I am hoping it is just me and I have forgotten how to display numbers but I did this last week with no problems. Could someone confirm thay can see numbers rather than percentages for their ratings.
 
I just checked multiple random books and while they do give the total number of ratings an actual number, the 5*,4*, etc. are represented by percentages and I can't find a way to change that. I am currently on the app though. Idk if it's different on .com.
 
Thanks Trish. That suggests Amazon have changed the display. If so it now means I cannot see at which level a new rating has been given. Very weird and a big step back. Anyone else confirm this change?
