Full iReview (vbcover) is: Don't waste your money on iReviews . ( http://www.vbcover.com/ireviews.php ) It was a waste of $129.99, bloated and did not work the way I expected. It needed template alteration ( okay, I can do that, but you cannot customize it to our need). It needed support code changes because it was dated, and we are not able to customize how reviews are rated in the open post. In other words, if I want to populate my content first and allow my users to comment or rate a product, I must always be forced to rate it too, otherwise it disabled the entire rating process!

This is not acceptable because it would be like a store always giving their product a 5 star. Something so simple like that cannot be disabled. After that downer, it was in the garbage.

Unfortunately, there demo is really lame. You cannot know the details until you download it and iReviews has your money. After one hour I knew it was not for us and begged for a refund. Not a chance there. No refund. You touch you pay.

To describe what I need in words: I want to be able to add products exact to what the manufacturer specs are ( unrated), with one image and then below, allow readers to rate the product or add a comment of any size.
I don't want to be forced to rate a product I add.

Here is an example of what we are looking for (without the need to sell it), we are not a store:
