JReviews Express is for anyone wanting to quickly add user reviews to Joomla. It works with your existing articles, similar to a comment system, and you decide which categories you want to include in the review functionality. JReviews Express is professionally designed so it looks great out of the box and can be further customized by modifying the theme files.
JReviews Express allows you to define multiple rating criteria and these can vary across categories. For example, if you are rating movies, restaurants and wine, you will want to have different rating criteria for each. If you need more power, like listing submissions, custom fields and editor reviews, then you should look at JReviews which offers this and much more.
It integrates with Community Builder and JomSocial, includes MyReviews plugins for them, and comes with listings and reviews modules which let you present the rated listings and reviews in many different ways.
The frontend user interface is translated to more than 20 languages.
