Ratings and reviews

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.

I prefer this to using Amazon app or a browser to browse Amazon, much more seamless, being able to analyze rating in the background while I'm scrolling through reading about product. Usually, after a few seconds, it's already gotten rating. Way faster than copy pasting and switching between apps or tabs and lose your place. I only wish it would just analyze links on the search results page, so you could save time clicking on the bad links, but that would likely be too server intensive.

Pretty good. Needs an button to move the open fakespot page to a full browser, like other apps that open an embedded browser. The issue is that If an item hasn't been analyzed yet, you're just stuck there waiting 1+ for it to be analyzed and can't view the original product description or any other Amazon products without exiting from the Fakespot page.
