Contract contains rating calculation logic. But no-one except owner can broadcast likes/dislikes. So owner has to be trusted.

We understand this weakness of our solution that you had mentioned. Such implementation was chosen just because at the moment we do not have affordable UI tools for the user to interact with the contract directly from the current Telegram application. When telegram application will be fully integrated with TON blockchain we will easily upgrade our solution to make it user-friendly and truly decentralized. You can check our contract and you will see that it will be a really easy upgrade because initially, we were planning to support direct user interaction.

Also it doesn't hande internal messages, and so there is no way to query those rating from another contract.

The answer from the other message explains that question too.

I like the idea, but the current contract implemenation seems to be far from its achievement.

Currently, the contract is highly centralized, because only the owner can send queries to the contract and the owner can do anything. The contract has overall bad performance due to seqno check and is not able to handle more than one external request per blockchain block. Also, there is no any protection from cheating by voting multiple times.

In the current version, Telegram does not provide a flexible mechanism for signing custom transactions via the client on UI. It's the main reason for implementing an entry point for the smartcontract in a centralized way with using telegram bot.
Further user signing can be added by storing the user's public key and seqno (nonce) and using global seqno just for the contract maintenance. In that case, we will solve the issue of speed and centralization.
The main idea of anti-cheating is based on the internal economics model. But you are right that double votes are prevented only on the UI level.
Extended cheat checking system can be easily added because of the smartcontract extendible architecture.
