Judge.me Product Reviews App

I want to love it but its glitchy and a number of things don't work well. Changing settings does not seem to have an effect, I had to get tech help to change code to get things to work and I will have to do so again with a new theme update likely.

Integration to display reviews on Google doesn't work. Been going back and forth with judge.me and Google for a few months, judge.me says that everything is fine and Google says that's something is missing in the data.

We faced significant challenges while integrating Judge.me widgets into our theme. The process was plagued by bugs, requiring us to repeatedly explain the same issue to different chat support agents, which was both time-consuming and frustrating. Unfortunately, after nearly a month of setup, we still didn’t receive a satisfactory solution. Some of the support advisors were rude and not very helpful.

To make matters worse, on the day of our planned launch, we discovered that the 4,000+ reviews we had collected over 5 years couldn't be displayed on Google Shopping due to policy restrictions. This was a major dealbreaker, as Google Shopping visibility was essential for us. Ultimately, we decided not to move forward with Judge.me as our review app. Disappointed with the entire experience.

The support is good, but some of the features are extremely limited.

It's not good. I had to uninstall this app, and the reason for this review is they are still charging me. So I'm not happy and I want my money back.

I can only change 30 charakters so i cant translate reviews by myself and the aliexpress translator is trash

Paid for the first month and probably wont renew, there is no way to customize the colors of the panels. would be so easy to implement and it fell short

I hoped it will make it easy to import reviews from Etsy, Trustpilot and eBay (and maybe Google Shopping and Amazon too if we needed) but all I can see is some unknown integrations (for us in the UK at least) or the possibility of doing it manually via CSV.

I suppose Judge.me is more like a Trustpilot competitor and not really focussed enough on bringing in reviews from other platforms and marketplaces as well, despite the customer support insisting that thats their best feature.

There is a way to read Etsy reviews as long as we also install the paid Shuttle app which we don't need as we do already integrate with Etsy via Shopify Marketplace Connect.
In comparison, the Fera Product Reviews App makes it fairly easy to import the JSON file with reviews we download from Etsy.
Fera also imports easily our reviews from Trustpilot and Google Shopping which Judge.me claim are covered by copyright.

While for eBay and Amazon, despite the same copyright excuse, the Opinew Product Reviews App UGC can also import easily our reviews from these marketplaces.

It is a shame though that none of these apps can do the job fully and properly. :(

The Judge.me chat support person told me that we can import the reviews manually via CSV and do it easily with their AliExpress integration. But we're not interested in AliExpress at all while apps like this are meant to help towards automating things not doing manually. I can get ChatGPT to write for me the code for my own app and do it manually...

This app is not for us at all and I'm frankly disappointed given the many positive reviews but I'm taking it that most people use it the same way we use Trustpilot.

This App is definitely flawed, for example I had "silver" badge, I then published 3 verified reviews and it dropped to "bronze" which makes 0 sense. Live chat fobbed me off and said "oh maybe I accidentally set some of my reviews to Hidden" I DID NOT. So now I have to hide my trust badges because it's not displaying correctly. Will be uninstalling this App when I can as $15.99 a month is not worth it for a app that doesn't work correctly.

Excellent app, poor customer service. Need to beg and argue to get a simple task completed. Frustrating experiences.

Seriously we do not prefer any communication further on this matter. Getting one single line of liquid code already need us to send a couple of e-mails, having your CS staff saying No No No No No.

Wish this review section have image upload option so I can show all people the e-mail correspondences we had yesterday.
