JReviews Express allows you to define multiple rating criteria and these can vary across categories. For example, if you are rating movies, restaurants and wine, you will want to have different rating criteria for each. If you need more power, like listing submissions, custom fields and editor reviews, then you should look at JReviews which offers this and much more.
JReviews Express integrates with Community Builder and JomSocial, includes MyReviews plugins for them, and comes with listings and reviews modules which let you present the rated listings and reviews in many different ways.
The frontend user interface is translated to more than 20 languages.

I have had a problem with jreview and the support was fast and fantastic. Everything went very well and all problems was solved.

It's very easy to use and best of all...the support is fast! They get back to you within a day and do not ignore any questions or concerns.

I really wanted to like this component. Unfortunately, it's specifically geared towards short in-depth review styles where user submitted text is expected. If you turn off allowing users to submit text (which makes it easier to moderate and less like a bulletin board), the reviews still take up the same space and the review criteria appear to hang out to the right. Also, I didn't see a way to turn off "Was this review helpful?" I was just looking for a quick way for users to submit something like multiple ratings based on criteria in a quick way. This didn't seem to fit that well enough.
Owner's reply
Thanks for taking the time to write a review, although it's too bad you didn't get in touch with our outstanding support department to resolve these very basic requirements you had. (1) The JReviews Express themes are 100% customizable , so if you wanted to disable comments and reformat the output it can be done through theme changes. (2) There's a setting to turn off review helpfulness voting under configuration settings, reviews tab; and you can also remove it from the theme files as well if you didn't find the setting. We now have a demo of JReviews Express at http://demo.reviewsforjoomla.com/jreviews-express/ so you can try it out before buying.

I've tried many options before I decided to buy this extension. And really it's worth every penny invested. Configuration is quite simple and intuituve. Very nice and natural integration with the existing structure of your website. Works like a charm straight out of the box. The support is great too. The problem I encountered with front-end reviews updates (collision with other modules installed) was resolved cleverly and quickly.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

I have already made by second website using jreview. The tool is very easy to learn/use and configure. The administration part also is very user-friendly. The support is quite efficient.
Recommended features:
- Customize fields for your products
- Advance search base on your customize fields
- Set criteria(SQL required) in listing modules to serve your needs
- Overall rating can be based on different criteria (e.g. Story 4/5, Actors 3/5, Music 5/5 --> Overall 4/5)
- Upload multiple images at once
Suggestions: It could be better if there are more customize setting on the listing display.

This component is great, really simple to use, works "out of the box" and is absolutely worth the money. I was so excited that I decided after a few days of testing to move over to the full version. Support and communication with the JReviews team is excellent.

This plugin delivers what it promises and is worth the cost. I started with Express and moved over to the full version.
The Express version is really simple to use, so you can get started right away. The full version requires you to invest a little more time to understand it, but that's expected with all that it allows you to do.
I totally recommend this to anyone looking to add sophisticated reviews and sorting functions to their site.

I think Jreviews has lifted Joomla to a new level. As original version is quite complex, I would recommend this one for those with smaller needs and skills.

I have been a long-time user of jReviews full version and am happy to say that jReviews express retains many of the critical features of the full version while being streamlined enough for general use. The ability to add reviews to articles without having to worry about setting up a complicated system is good for most site admins. Others should still check out the full version of jReviews, which has a ton of added features and can even be used as a full content creation kit (CCK).

I've used an early version of the full jReviews previously, and have been very happy with the product as well as Alejandro's great support. I did not hesitate for paying the bucks in order to try out jReviews Express for a new site. It turns out to be a great simple module if you want solid functionality for ratings and reviews in one. I had a view issues with installation on a highly customized set-up, but Alejandro was quick to hlep out with an updated version. Great product - great support, I'm happy to pay for that.
