Faview – Virtual Reviews for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 60% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I used Faview for a long time mainly because of its virtual review feature, which helped boost SEO and product visibility with rich snippets on Google. That was really the main reason most of us used it. But now, that feature doesn’t work at all — and it looks like WordPress or Google changed guidelines that killed its main purpose. The plugin feels like it’s just sitting there now, offering little to no real value. If the core feature is gone and can’t come back, honestly it shouldn’t still be listed on the WordPress plugin repository. Not blaming the devs too much — they said it was beyond their control — but users deserve to know that the main functionality is no longer supported or effective.

   The primary function of the app is to manually add reviews to products. Now the function was removed, defeated its primary purpose.

   The plugin no longer delivers on its promise. The latest update removed its main feature, turning it into nothing more than bloatware. I wish i could give it 0 starts.

   The manual review addition was completely removed in the latest update and it makes the plugin unusable.
