Wonderful app
All I use Fakespot for is Amazon and Walmart purchases. Most sites don’t support it. But especially Amazon OMG it saves me all the time from making crappy purchases that I have to send back or get ripped off on.
I’ve used this for around 2 years give or take a month. When I saw the amount of deception on Amazon I really was shocked. Probably 50% of products have an F. Very rarely do you find an A. If it’s a b or c I’ll read the reviews to see if I really want it. Of course if those reviews are all bad and they add a bunch of 5 star reviews your still getting screwed. That’s why I don’t buy with lower than a C. They’re crooks and I don’t want the product.
Now I analyze reviews on every purchase. I mostly shop Amazon prime. I wish it was useful on more sites like products not sold on Amazon.
Overall this app gets a 5 cause it’s easy to use and it’s saved me a ton of money!!kmcghghy
Works great!
Super easy to use. Not sure why some reviewers say it’s complicated. I use it on the Amazon app and it works perfectly. 🤷🏼♀️MamaKittyMeowMeow
Couldn’t Get it To Work
I couldn’t figure out how to get it to work. It has a complex set of instructions and I tried to follow them but that didn’t work. It seems like the instructions are outdated because some of the images look old
The app should just have somewhere to past a URL in it but it doesn’t. It requires you to use the share sheet but it didn’t show up theremsrubbertson
Can’t get it to work when I browse Amazon on chrome.

Useless
When I first started using Fakespot app a few months ago, share to analyze actually worked, though the analysis was usually not very helpful. It basically tells you what the reviews say. I can read the fake reviews on my own, thank you very much. There is one very tiny section at the bottom of the analyses that say something like, “high amount of deception is detected” and another line gives an estimated percentage of the reviews that it thinks are legit. There is nothing that points out which reviews it thinks are genuine or which ones it thinks are fake. The entire analysis, aside from the two lines at the bottom, is just highlights of the top reviews, many of which are obvious fakes. Nobody needs y’all to do that for us, honestly. We need to know which reviews are LEGIT. Could you possibly produce highlights of GENUINE LEGITIMATE reviews?
At any rate, all of this is moot because share to analyze no longer works on Amazon at all. There are no longer share options when you hit the share icon on Amazon product pages. It may be that Amazon updated their app, but the fact is that Fakespot hasn’t bothered to update theirs, so this app is no longer usable, not that it was very helpful when it did work. I might check out their other app and see if that’s any better.Tofutefisk
App works fine
App works fine. Quick redirect to Fakespot is what I needed. I much prefer Fakespot over it’s competitor ReviewMefa because reviewmeta tends to be way too conservative and hands out an A to literally every product (including ones with very obvious paid reviews)xlumin8
