A product review application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to read and submit reviews of products. Product review apps usually include an interface for reading and writing reviews, filtering by different criteria (e.g., price range), and submitting those reviews for moderation before publishing.
Product review apps are often similar to other lifestyle, shopping, and e-commerce apps. They also share many features with gaming apps and dating apps. Popular product review applications include Amazon, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Groupon.

A product review app can grow rapidly by showing that it understands its target audience and provides a high level of value to users. For instance, a product review app that is built for people who are looking for beauty products would focus on providing the latest reviews from trusted sources, as well as a helpful shopping guide with tips for finding the best products. In order to build brand loyalty and create network effects, a product review app should allow users to share their reviews and make friends with other like-minded users.
A product review app is especially vulnerable to IP litigation and the risk of intellectual property theft. You should make clear in your privacy policy that you are not responsible for the accuracy or legality of user-generated content, and you may want to consider including specific disclaimers that absolve the company from liability for any damages incurred as a result of using your application. It is also advisable to include robust mechanisms for reporting abuse and filtering reviews based on their relative trustworthiness.
