Reviewspot.nl is a platform for Dutch consumers where they can review, compare and discuss their online shopping experiences.
The goal of Reviewspot.nl was to build an online platform where consumers could rate and discuss their experiences with webshops. Visitors should be able to write a review about a webshop, rate that webshop on different criteria and easily compare the scores of different webshops. Furthermore we needed a reliable content management system and a template system that was well documented and could be easily adapted to our specific needs in the area of design and search engine optimization.
Some research and comparison between different review extensions for Joomla and Wordpress showed us that JReviews was probably the most complete and flexible extension on the market. We were also looking for a review extension that came with an active community of developers and users supporting it. We chose JReviews since it has a history of improvement on a steady base and has all functions (and many more) that we wanted to implement in our website. And also important: JReviews looks good out of the box.
JReviews gives our users the opportunity to rate and review Dutch webshops, which is the core functionality of the platform Reviewspot.nl. We also use different JReviews modules to list top rated and most visited listings. Webshop owners can easily add their own webshop with the JReviews “add listing” form which is extremely flexible and beautifully styled. With the help of JReviews we were able to build a large directory of webshops with reviews in a short time.
First of all, the review system is excellent and the functionality and support is great. But for us was equally important to have a stable and fast website that would do well in search engines. The flexibility of the template system behind JReviews made it very easy to adapt the different pages and modules to our needs in the area of search engine optimization and design. This has led to very good results in search engines and thus a lot of visitors and reviews by visitors. Allthough Reviewspot.nl is only one year old we rank for very competitive keywords and the number of visitors (and users) is growing fast. The key advantage of JReviews for us is the flexibility of the extension and all the enormous possibilities to expand our website in the future.

At JoomlaHosting.co our goal is to help people find the best hosting for their Joomla site. We display the top rated Joomla hosting companies in an easy to read list with star ratings and ordering options. We needed a way to record user and editor reviews into a database so they could be called on any given page. The ability to sort out different characteristics of the hosting companies is a MUST in usability for our visitors. JoomlaHosting.co is now able to display the best Joomla hosts right on the front page.
JReviews works seamlessly within Joomla and it's easy for coders to customize. It has plenty of options should you need them, but is not overwhelming for average Joomla users. We are constantly creating new templates for the JReviews Modules and listing pages.
It started off as a way to record reviews by the editors and users. Over time we really got a hold on how the templates work and customize them to help us with our functionality. We have been excited with new implementations like the "Compare" feature and the new icons. The look is professional and it needs minimal tweaking to match our site's look.
Simply put, JReviews is the best review component for Joomla. There is not one that is better supported or as stable. We have taken the time to learn it and it continues to improve which gives us an advantage. We are able to make full listing pages for hosting companies, display companies in many creative ways, customize list order inside of modules, manage reviews, and keep everything clean with minimal effort.

NOEP is a nonprofit project of the Texas Nurses Association/Foundation. NOEP provides free, evidence-based continuing education to nurses on cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship. Our goal is to educate all nurses to create changes in nursing practice.
Our web site is dedicated to providing free eLearning courses on cancer-related topics for nurses in all fields of practice. We needed to add reviews to the individual courses to better understand our users’ needs and experiences.
Our site was built around the JoomlaLMS Learning Management System for our online courses. JoomlaLMS had already created an easy plug-and-play integration with JReviews, so it was a no-brainer for us to incorporate JReviews into our current site setup. For more information on the JoomlaLMS-JReviews integration read here: http://www.joomlalms.com/elearning/add-credibility-to-your-courses-with-jreviews-joomlalms-integration.html
JReviews allows our users to comment and rate each course they’ve taken. The reviews are publicly available for all current and potential users to read.
JReviews allows new users to view other user’s reviews attesting to their quality and value, and also to determine which courses are best suited for them. We use these reviews as valuable feedback: It allows us to better target our future offerings to what our users need, as well as identify problems users may be experiencing.

The World's Leading Single Serve Coffee Guide
Aromacup.com was launched in October 2006 to share our love and passion about Single Serve Coffee. Two years later we realized that we needed a platform which would allow us and our members and experts to submit exclusive reviews, comments and pictures about Coffee products. In addition to reviews we were also looking for a component that would allow us to better organize Joomla articles.
JReviews was a perfect solution at that time for us because it was able to do exactly what we were looking for (organize reviews, articles with multiple layouts). After I started working with JReviews I knew right away we made the right choice. We used Joomla already so it was very easy for us to start with JReviews. Since it was totally new for us we needed to learn a lot of things. So we used the Support Portal and Forum all the time and the response time and support quality was unbelievable. Since Aromacup.com was no longer a “Hobby” website, it was critical for us to have quick support in case something happened. Besides great support we really like the Documentation section where you can find everything you need to know about JReviews. Also integration with other components was very important for us.
We use JReviews for everything. Beside Reviews and Comments we use JReviews to create a unique layout for every section. This allows us to optimize every landing page with minimum effort. For example “Coffee Coupons Section” and “Coffee Guides Section” have totally different layout, related articles, links, etc. With Custom Fields and Themes you can create basically anything.
First of all there’s nothing like JReviews around. I think JReviews is a Gold Standard in this category. It’s doesn’t matter if you are want to use JReviews for a business or yourself. You will receive the best support and the best component which will allow you to create successful website in any category.

Hooked is a revolutionary new social channel that allows anglers to locate and share the best fishing spots in Norway, using both the web portal and companion iPhone application.
When our client came to us all the way from Norway, they were looking for a solution to build a location-based fishing portal to help anglers locate the best spots to catch fish in Norway. Their requirements were that users could create multi-media listings describing the best fishing spots and most importantly, could tag them to a very specific rural geolocation. So we knew we would need a powerful CCK, with front-end creation abilities, and an accurate mapping feature. They were also looking for something that would integrate nicely with community software like JomSocial. At HATHWAY, it is our job to analyze these requirements and apply the most appropriate open source software for their needs.
JReviews was chosen to develop the MVC for our client and prove to their investors that the concept could work. In order to custom develop this web property, we expected the development cycle to be at least four times as long and equally more expensive. Core JReviews had about 70% of the features we needed for the initial build of the site, leaving approximately 30% of the features to be custom programmed. As a CCK, JReviews is as good as it gets. Everyone on the HATHWAY tech team loves working with it because of its robust functionality out of the box, and ease of customization. The Geomaps add-on extends far beyond any of the other Joomla CCK’s, making it an obvious choice for this project.
JReviews is the primary platform in which users can create fishing spots, catch reports, blogs and post tips and tricks for other anglers. JReviews is literally the backbone of the site and provides most of the utility for our users. Our client is ecstatic with the mapping abilities of the site and how the software was applied for such a unique web property concept.
The key advantage was being able to take the site to market much faster than if we were to have custom developed the software for our client. This initial build will help them test their features and gain valuable feedback from their target audience, so when the time does come to build a new version from scratch, the improvements will stem directly from their users. Both our clients and our staff were happy with the decision to leverage JReviews as the primary software system for the site.

AirportDining.net helps take the unknown out of airport food. It is the Ultimate Source for airport restaurants and airport dining options.
AirportDining.net is all about traveler reviews and recommendation for airport restaurants covering 100 of the busiest airports around the world. We were looking for platform where travelers would be able to list and rate airport restaurants; include their photos, reviews, comments and additional related information. On top of that we have site editors who make editorial reviews as they pass through airports around the world. We also wanted those editorial reviews to be listed in addition to user reviews. Since we cover airports around the world our user base is very international and we were looking for a very easy to use review structure.
JReviews is great review and rating system and it simply was a perfect fit for airportdining.net since the entire site is based on traveler reviews, ratings and recommendations. When we used the demo we noticed that it gave us a lot of flexibility and also provided the opportunity for user to have a great experience. User friendliness of the system was a major requirement for us and JReviews met this requirement.
We use JReviews as the user review structure where airports dining options around the world are listed and rated. Users are able to write reviews or simply include additional photos to existing airport eateries. If they choose they can make their own recommendations and add new airport eateries. If the user is adding a new listing to our database (adding new airport restaurant) they are able to provide information about pricing, location, opening hours, service, ambience, kid friendliness and also whether they serve alcohol. JReviews allows other users to search for these attributes in advance search if they are looking for that particular information. Simply put, JReviews allowed us to become an information powerhouse on airport restaurants and airport dining options.
JReviews allows us to collect and manage information about airport restaurants for more than 100 busiest airports around the world. In addition, it allows us to administer large number of user reviews, new airport restaurant and photo submissions. We also have to mention the great support system provided by JReviews. They were prompt getting back to us and addressing our issues. We appreciate JReviews flexibility and support as our web site is getting more user submissions and reviews each day.

Filmering.at is an austrian movie-website. We offer news, videos, reviews and a community for movie-fans.
We already had a lot of editor reviews, so we needed a very flexible user-review system that could interact with the editor reviews, which are written in the standard Joomla content system. We also wanted a system that worked with JomSocial, so that the users would have a complete experience on our site and wouldn't see that all components are separate.
It is by far best review system for Joomla. We tried it and we saw that it is an amazing component that gives us a lot of opportunities. We wanted just a simple component for user-reviews, that also displays the reviews of the user in the JomSocial profile, but we found out that JReviews has a lot more things to offer. The great modules, the favorite system, the integration with the activity stream of JomSocial and the whole new design opportunities for our movie sites. And very soon we also found out that the support is simply awesome (no Joomla component has anything compared to the support of JReviews). For this reasons we decided to integrate JReviews even further in our website.
We use JReviews as the user-review system for movies and as an supplemental feature to our editor reviews. Also we use the great features of the JReviews modules. In short, everytime when we list movies in a module position we use the JReviews modules which are very flexible and beautiful. We also use JReviews to enhance the community features of our website. We modified the favorite system a little bit to a Fan system, and in the profiles of the users we show there user reviews and the movies they are a fan of. The JReviews template system allows us a very flexible output of the modules and profile plugins. Also we developed a "Fans also are Fans of" module which shows which movies are also favorited by users who are a fan of the movie. This allows us a better visual style of our movie sites. We also use the advanced search of JReviews and we use a lot JReviews functions for our movie-archive.
JReviews gives us a very flexible system for our movie site. The system is flexible enough to work for all kind of review sites and with the help of the great support, customization is possible in all possible ways. JReviews gives us opportunities to improve the quality of our website in a dimension that no other Joomla component is capable of. Everyone who wants to offer reviews in any kind of way should use JReviews.

TiemMyScarf.com is a boutique e-commerce site that specializes in scarves.
The site had a very simple set of requirements: videos about how to tie a scarf; an ecommerce boutique (for which we used Virtuemart); and a blog.
We wanted to create a video library of ways to tie a scarf, but we were unhappy with other solutions: the extensions that are specifically built for handling videos did not provide other features like allowing us to create very customized module views, add additional custom field information, etc. Also, they didn't leverage Joomla's core content section/category structure. We chose JReviews because it gave us all the flexibility we needed, plus the ability to create very custom layouts for both modules and core component views. By creating a field to reference a YouTube video, we got the best of all worlds: working within Joomla's familiar content structure, but with more control over layout and extra fields.
JReviews is basically being used as a "vlog", a video blog. We will eventually also use it for reviews in the ecommerce area but using Everywhere with the Virtuemart integration.
JReviews extends Joomla to make it a truly robust system. We really appreciate that JReviews builds on Joomla's native section/category/articles rather than creating a secondary content repository; by doing so, we’re able to use the same content with other 3rd-party extensions. The templating system makes it possible to create any type of view or module, taking Joomla from a simple and basic CMS to one that is absolutely configurable and customizable.

Cyprus High School's Media Center website.
We needed something to catalog the books in our Media Center. We wanted the ability for students to rate the books and to be able to give some comments about the book. We wanted to be able to search by author, genre, and/or publisher. We needed the ability to approve any reviews that went on the website prior to them being published.
We read the reviews about JReviews and we used the demo to get a feel for how it worked. JReviews met all of our requirements and I found them to be very helpful and they answered all of my questions.
JReviews is the cornerstone of our website. We currently have approximately 2,000 book listing and teachers and students are able to search books, submit reviews, and read about books so they can find books that interest them or meet their needs.
The most important selling point for me is the support I have received form Alejandro. He has been very helpful as I solve the problems and has helped me configure our website so it is user-friendly and informative. I have been able to do all of the things we wanted to accomplish and as new ideas have come up we have been able to modify our site to meet our expanding needs.

An editorial staff and user driven review site for movies, blu-ray, digital media, video games and other technology.
We were looking for something that had a very intricate backend that allowed for a relational database. We got something that helped us build very detailed databases and that allowed us (through little effort) to make our site more searchable and accessible to the outside world while allowing users to add their own opinions. We could not have been happier with JReviews.
JReviews is, well, for reviews! Since we mainly do reviews it seemed like a natural fit. We had certain requirements - configurable field types, cross searching, weighted scoring tight integration with the CMS(Joomla). Again, we got more than we anticipated originally! In addition, having the ability to use the built in thickbox for images without an additional plug ins is a great plus and the templates are well commented and easy to adjust.
We use it for everything. We currently have over 700+ reviews and it compliments those needs. Our Frontpage uses JReviews modules in three module positions to highlight the newest reviews from the primary categories we review on - Games, DVDS and Anime. It also is used to generate our section pages and is used within the content using a JReviews template that has been modified to allow for tabbed reviews with related items using sliding drop downs. This and various other little bits help make our site look and feel professional. It created a very solid backbone that established an organized system that works and integrates related articles together using the fields configured within JReviews. In addition, our authors don't even need to really think about what's been set up in the backend. From the front end the submission process is seamless.
First and foremost, the support from Alejandro has been unrivaled. He dedicates himself to clarifying any issues and correcting them. Service goes a long way and it shows. Now, to the beef. It fits our mold for our review site perfectly. It allows us to do so many things that we didn't feel Joomla could provide. It allows us to do a lot of relationships between fields. JReviews submission interface works well within Joomla's interface and allows for our authors to work on what they need to do, submit reviews.
