Used to Work Great – Now Virtually Useless
by Kevin Mutua·10 months ago·1 reply
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.
Useless Plugin After Update

The primary function of the app is to manually add reviews to products. Now the function was removed, defeated its primary purpose.
No longer usefull

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.
It used to be great plugin until the latest update

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