Reviews for the WP Rating Plugin

What customers say about YASR

Great plugin, super-responsive support I’ve been using the plugin for its ratings and schema markup management capabilities. Specifically, I’m using the recipe schema and it so happened that Google changed its requirements as to which fields were optional and which were mandatory. Since the plugin was missing a field which became mandatory, Search Console started to flag my URLs as invalid.

Excellent Support and Responsiveness The ratings functions are extraordinary, and the whole product design appears to be top-notch. Most important in my case, however, was the support and responsiveness. I purchased the pro version primarily for the user reviews feature (more than the ratings feature) which was probably a dumb decision on my part since the product is first-and-foremost a ratings plugin. Dario was immediately responsive to my questions — I mean responding to my email in three minutes! Ultimately, I asked for a refund because the plugin didn’t meet my particular needs on the reviews side, and I was granted one – again, within minutes! So, while the product ended up not working out for me, I was totally impressed by the professionalism of the team. Clearly, they care first and foremost about their users’ satisfaction. Highly recommended vendor!
