Fakespot Reviews

not accurate at all

not accurate at all I tested it with different links from amazon that I already know some of which are using fake reviews and other are highly reputable stores and found out that fakespot is categorizing them in the wrong places giving the fake A and B and giving the authentic C and F fakespot is not trust worthy

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

I love the idea of a fake-ad spotter

I love the idea of a fake-ad spotter but looking closely at the reviews of items of the same type wifi extenders that receive the same grades C on Fake Spotter I was dismayed I found the reviews for one item thoughtful complex personal and quirky while the other has off the cuff often limited to three of four words and repetitive as expected or great buy and nothing else Why the same grade Since this happened with other product reviews graded by them I decided to simply give up on Fakespot and trust my own instincts How do they actually test their system I mean what controls do they have

The technology just isn t there

I appreciate them creating an algorithm like this as an experiment but simply put the technology just isn t good enough as a genuine tool and shouldn t be advertised as such It s seemingly random in what it categorises which is honestly kind of terrible considering how far advances in AI technology have gotten recently And probably the most baffling thing about this tool what is the point of an AI that s supposed to pick up on human behaviour when it s the one thing AI s can never really do It s like making an AI to solve are you a robot tests that take a person 2 seconds to figure out

Americas Test Kitchen has never let me

Americas Test Kitchen has never let me down with their recommendations for various kitchen appliances The highest rated inexpensive blender as of this review is the Kitchenaid 5 speed Diamond On Amazon there are 1884 reviews averaging 4 stars Fakespot gave it an F and I find that hard to believe There have been other lots of other items that I researched and found to be highly recommended that Fakespot gave a D or F I think Fakespot is faker than the Amazon reviews I m deleting the app

False Claims about Reviewing Shopify

False Claims about Reviewing Shopify Stores with No Data I used to use their rating app on Chrome but realized after doing some more digging that it isn t that accurate but it also doesn t actually compile any data on Shopify stores that it claims to rate This is completely a disservice to anyone trying to use their services If you want to get into the why s I think it s because they have more desire to put companies down than to help with valid ratings based on the language they re using in their marketing This isn t a legitimate company

Disappointing Experience Mislabeling All Products as Scams

I had a particularly disappointing encounter with this tool when I found it tagging everything as a scam I had been using it for some time before I ran across a product I knew to be reputable only for this tool to mark it as a scam This event significantly undermined my trust in the tool s reliability The concept behind this site is commendable and I appreciate the efforts to guard against scams However erroneously labeling all products as scams is just as harmful as dealing with fake reviews It creates an atmosphere of distrust and makes it challenging for genuine products to gain the recognition they deserve I hope the developers will address this issue promptly ensuring a balanced and accurate evaluation of products in the future My best regards to the team working behind the scenes

Bad data on fake spot

This actually happened in December 2022 but it was consistent behavior at that time I have a seller on ebay that I have bought from several times and it is my impression that they are a very responsible business Africa Direct if anyone cares to look Fakespot said they had many reviews mentioning scam or fake tracking number or questioning authenticity I don t believe that about Africa Direct I wrote a letter to fakespot at the time and never heard from them
