very good

very good, all bad reviews are form scammers. Saved me a lot of hassle and money. True it may flag the odd one up as bad, that's not. But as amazon is 80% fake, so this is the best you will get.

Fakespot is fake

I have a purchased item and realised it was visibly fake. Then I found Fakespot and let it analyse it. It got very good review by Fakespot: "Our engine has discovered that over 80% high quality reviews are present.... there is minimal deception involved".

Fakespot Is Fake News

I checked one of the items that I sell on Amazon which only has 12 reviews in over 8 years. I'm a small seller so I see when people leave reviews, and I can promise of those 12 reviews, they were honestly earned and were received from the seller who purchased that item. Yet I have a C star rating from Fakespot, even thought I have a 5 star raring on Amazon. I checked a few other sellers too who had low feedback over several years, and they all had C and D ratings, even though I'm sure that ...

Fakespot's "industry leading software"…

Fakespot's "industry leading software" is a total fabrication and lie. This company is a complete con, selling a completely fabricated service that does literally nothing. I plugged in one of our top selling highest rated products that has been selling on amazon for 5 years, and fakespot gave us an F grade saying "high chance of deception". We have never solicited or bought reviews. So, I guess the way their software works is, if you have a good product that gets really good reviews, it ...

Absolute garbage

Absolute garbage. If you are using this app because you think Amazon's reviews might not be accurate then your in for a surprise. Fakespot's grade are a shot in the dark as well. I sell on Amazon. I sell HANDMADE items I make myself and know their quality. I suspected some of my competitors who have cheap crap made in China were "buying reviews". If you order one of their products you get an offer to receive 5 dollars off your next purchase for leaving an *honest* review. I do not ...

Fakespot is clearly fake

Fakespot is clearly fake. I saw an item with less than a dozen reviews and most them were bad english, unintelligible, and clearly fake, and Fakespot gave a rating of B! On the other hand, I found a product that gets consistently good ratings across the internet and Fakespot gave it a D. You're busted Fakespot!!!

Accuracy is questionable

Initially I used Fakespot to help me identify competitors that might be manipulating their reviews, as they might be more likely to also leave negative reviews on my product listing. However, as my product gained traction, and reviews, it got flagged by Fakespot as a "C". That leads me to really question the results. I know with 100% certainty that I have not manipulated any of my reviews. In fact, my first review came from someone that wanted a sample in exchange for a review, and I ...

Call it what it is- Fake!

It appears "Questionable reviews" (which may not even be questionable), are always assumed to be "Fake" by Fakespot. This is one of the most unreliable and irresponsible service providers, and definitely a form of defamation. We'll contact the appropriate government agencies, to put a stop to this factless (fake) information provider.
