Review

Updated: 12/10/2023 by Computer Hope

Alternatively called a product review or customer review, a review is a partial or overall judgment on a product or service performed by a person or company. For example, a person may use a computer for several days and then write a review about their computer experience. A review gives someone interested in a product or service the pros and cons, and helps them decide if they should make a purchase.

For instance, when buying a computer or any product, read the reviews left by other people who bought the same product. However, consider that sites allowing anyone to write a review (e.g., Amazon) can have fake or sponsored reviews. It's a good idea to read a few positive and negative reviews to get the pros and cons. Also, look for any indication the reviewer purchased the product and that it's not sponsored or the person was not given the product.

What is a review bomb?

A review bomb (protest review) is when many people or those with access to multiple accounts leave negative reviews about a product or service. Review bombing is often done with the intention of hurting the company or person behind the product or service either because of trolling, political reasons, or cultural reasons. For example, a popular game may get review bombed because it has DRM (digital rights management) or is P2W (pay-to-win).

Note

Although review bombing is often done for negative reviews, it may also be done for positive reviews.

Note

Review bomb was featured as a top term of 2008.
