Reviewshave

Reviewshave is an online platform that hosts user-generated reviews across a broad range of consumer products and services. It provides a searchable database with a five-star rating system, written reviews, and user-submitted photos and videos. The site aims to help shoppers compare options and gauge reliability through community insight.

Reviewshave was founded in 2016 by Daniel Cho and Priya Menon. It began as a small electronics-focused site in San Francisco and expanded to home goods, apparel, and services by 2019. The platform emphasizes crowdsourced content while maintaining controls to curb misinformation and fake reviews through automated and human moderation.

Users can write reviews with detail prompts, attach images or videos, and filter results by product category, brand, price, and rating. A badge system identifies verified purchasers, while an optional purchase verification helps reduce spam. Reviewshave employs machine learning to flag suspicious content, supplemented by a moderation team that reviews flagged items and appeals. The site also offers data export and an API for research and commercial partners.

Reviewshave publishes community guidelines outlining acceptable content and behavior. It discloses advertising practices and separates sponsored content from user reviews. The platform allows review removals or edits for policy violations and provides an appeal mechanism for disputed moderation decisions. Privacy protections cover user data collected for account and review activity.

The service has grown to host millions of reviews and is cited by consumers and some brands for product insights. Critics note that, as with other review platforms, manipulation and biased moderation remain risks. Reviewshave has published transparency reports and engaged with consumer-protection groups to improve accountability.
