2024-12-04 | Oscar Mercado | Love the app but I don't understand the point of logging in if every time I open the app I have to log in again. Also it only happened once so far, but a product that's reputable got a D rating because it had few reviews. | |
2024-12-04 | Mark Poehner | I check reviews every time I buy. Fakespot has helped me avoid returns and wasting money. Phenomenal! | |
2024-11-01 | Tarun Tarun | Worst app it was working few years back when it is website now its not working | |
2024-08-04 | James Birse | The browser extension works fine on PC. This app doesn't. Firstly all the shortcuts (to Amazon, etc) point to the US shops and no way to change it. App does not remember when you type in another country's shop. Second, it asks you to analyse the Amazon item, as it hasn't been done yet. It then crashes itself stating, "invalid link" or words to that effect (as that message disappears after 1-2s). Seems hat only works for USA address links too. I guess it's back to the PC web browser. | |
2024-05-13 | Samsung | Great so far. I would love to see a section on listing if they have been changed, eg, amazon products with great rating, but then changed to a new product | |
2024-04-20 | Anthony Dombrowski | The biggest headache that makes this a struggle to use is that the ratings are so slow to load. It also opens a separate app from Amazon, but it's basically just a wrapper around the Amazon app. So you have to wait for the Amazon stuff to load, then the ratings to load, and if it hasn't been rated or has an old analysis, that's even more time (but that last part is no different from non-mobile). Would be really valuable to have as a mobile app, but it's a pain. | |
2024-03-24 | BJ G | You've taken a great, straightforward, and simple little program that I used and loved FOR YEARS and broken it. Mozilla has apparently joined the rest of the money-grubbing technoverse. Like them, you now have a program that sucks. Any trust I had in Mozilla is now gone. I will be deleting this little browser and Foxfire, too. | |
2024-02-18 | Kyle Allen | The only thing preventing me from rating this five stars is no way to change country of origin. I just tried browsing items on Amazon, but it's locked to Amazon US with no option to choose Amazon UK. | |
2023-11-08 | Jena Evans | 5/5 because they are actually doing it. Using this tool I can go on Amazon and figure out entire shops that buy reviews. For example, the Philips store doesn't, but Norelco does. I'm able to eliminate entire shady companies. It's helping me understand how to think about reviews. I love it. I love it so much. | |
2023-09-27 | MR G | Great app that would just give a quick answer... until the most recent update. Now it's trying to be a browser, which it's clearly not ready to be. Glitches, crashing, inability to sign in, etc. A mess |
