  • Still works!

    Even though it's been not tested with the latest 3 WP updates, the plugin works like a charm. New user reviews need to be approved like regular comments.

  • Works as advertised!

    So far, does exactly what it says. Easy install and nothing to configure. A note to others, if you install the plugin, then leave a test review and are LOGGED IN, you will see the stars and most of the review on the site, along with a note "Your review is awaiting approval". But now log out, and reload the page, and you will see the review is NOT there, pending approval. This took me a second to figure out, and I wonder if the other plugin review here that said it doesn't work are from people who didn't figure this out? Anyway, thanks developers, very helpful plugin! Please keep it updated! One last thing, I can't believe woocommerce doesn't do this by default. Unbelievable!
