Just choose “guest” and the whole thing works fine. These negative votes are shills for sellers that rely on fake reviews to scam.
Just downloaded, opened Amazon in app, looks just like Amazon website. Viewing a product. Per Fakespot instructions “ just tap to get a review “. Tap what?
I’ve never written a review about an app before, but I’m so happy about this fantastic find that I wanted to share. I saw someone mention Fakespot while I was reading reviews about a product on Amazon. I’m often frustrated because I ALWAYS read tons of reviews before buying anything, but have noticed lately that many of them didn’t seem legit. I’m not super tech savvy, so it took me a few to figure out how this worked within the Amazon shopping app, but now I’m stoked! It’s a total game changer. I tried another review app that I found to compare with this one, but I couldn’t even see the product results because game ads constantly popped up. I deleted that one within five minutes of installing it. Thanks for the major time saver!
Deleted this app. Too intrusive.
It’s time that we all took the Bull by the horns and stop putting these leaching app on our phones...
Developers “ Be Warned”!

Hi Grammy member,
We take a very different approach from other developers: We respect your privacy and tell you exactly what we do with the data your activity generates.
If you are concerned about intrusiveness we strongly encourage you to read of our transparency report here: https://www.fakespot.com/our-mission.
Also, if you can also compare our App Privacy disclosures to other apps you will notice we do not link any data to your identity. This is why you do not receive the "Ask app not to track" warning that almost every other app has to display.
We have gone above and beyond what other developers do when it comes to respecting and protecting your privacy. If you have any additional concerns please reach out to us at contact@fakespot.com and we will address them.
Best,
FakespotIt’s shouldn’t be on App Store
So this app now requires user to register an account. I don’t care about past searches. So this app I’m guessing tracks info for marketing purposes. Don’t recommend the app now

Hi SecurityPls: We require you to create an account so you can have analysis history which allows you to easily pick up your product research where you left off. We will also be introducing new features which require an account. Our marketing purposes consist of a welcome email and other email communications we may send about product updates and helpful tips. We encourage you read our transparency pledge here (https://www.fakespot.com/our-mission) for more information on our privacy practices. If you have any other questions please email us at contact@fakespot.com. Best, FakespotNope. Why do you need to create an account if you are not being tracked. Deleted it. They may not ‘sell’ your info, but they use it for marketing purposes. I wonder just who are they marketing for.

I knew an app was in the works, happy to know it's finally arrived!

Hi luvhev: Thanks for your honest feedback and support. If you have any additional feedback we would love to hear it by emailing us at contact@fakespot.com. Now required you to create an account to use it. No thanks. App deleted.
App collects and sells personal data, does not honor do not track requests, not California privacy laws. I deleted it instantly.
