Benny Jones (ID: 00000013c5198118) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/03/2015 Great concept, but not very useful if you can't specify the authors of the reviews. I only like particular reviewers, and it doesn't really matter which site they come from, I only trust these writers. If you could add functionality to recognize authors, it'd be a 5/5.
