Not usable
I got this plugin with my theme and it doesn't work. There's no documentation for this plugin. Only settings I found for this is to rename the labels. It doesn't add stars or anything to my posts for readers to select. As iit's now, it's not usable.

Cannot Use
I was really needing a plugin that did this. However, there is no documentation on how to use or implement it and I have gone through my entire wordpress website to find anything related to reviews and can only find what to name each level. I have to uninstall it because there is just no information on how to actually use it past the plugin install.

Good plugin
The plugin is very good and free. However, would it be possible to add, in a potential future update, the ability to enter scores that aren't necessarily round numbers? Like 7.5/10. That would be a nice addition, as I don't want to use percentages. Congratulations again on this free, high-quality plugin.

I really enjoyed it, congrats!
Excuse my english, this text is translated by google. I really like the plugin, it works very well, I'm testing it on my website. I just found it a little difficult having to update the entire post to update the review. If it had a tool to update only the ratings easily it would be much better.But I'm not a programmer, so I know how to do this. Great job!Good luck.

Doens't work
I got this with my authentic theme, but even when enabled, it's not showing a review box option anywhere. There is also no documentation, waste of time this

Needs Ability to Change Schema Type
Google doesn't like the "Thing" schema type for reviews, would be nice to be able to change that to "Product" or any other supported Schema type. I went ahead and tracked down the reference and altered the plugin code on my install. Author responded and fixed!
