Rating: 4 stars
Edit: Thank you for your immediate response. Your plugin has a beautiful design. I also liked that star ratings can be brought up on the side menu for a quick evaluation.
I have not re-tested it due to limited time and I have submitted my project yesterday to the client. However, seeing your work, I believe you will correct the few glitches.
I always feel bad when I have to deduct a star knowing how much work there is behind all of your work. The less one star should not discourage anyone for giving your plugin a fear trial.
Best wishes!

As of this review, I have the Star Review Manager Version: 1.2.2
First install, I had difficulty figuring the shortcode as the given one didn’t pick up anything. Current shortcode is
[srm_review_form container_id=2 srm_review id=2 option_type="stars"]
Everything seemed just so fantastic. The rating system was quickly setup. Now I wanted to publish.
First problem:
Since I am a developer and preparing this for a client, I added my email for testing purposes. Later wanted to change, but there is no ‘Edit’ option to change notification email.
Just confirmed inside database: uninstall does not remove the srm_..tables. They are still there. I will go ahead and remove them manually.
Second problem:
Although plugin looked like it was uninstalled. I installed it again, but there must have been traces somewhere in WordPress database, because it started giving me the following error message
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /…/…/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/star-review-manager/views/view.reviewform.php on line 55
.
I repeated the install/ uninstall but this time the ‘Manage review instances’ navigation item would not uninstall from WP admin menu.
Unfortunately, I had not taken any database backup for the past 3 days, but I went through the whole recovery of a 3 day old backup. Everything is messed up and I have to install WordPress all over again.
What I don’t get is that plugins are posted on WP and they are nowhere near beta testing. As developer, you should have tested install/uninstall processes ahead of time.
If we can resolve the above issues, I am willing to give this plugin another try because the first time it was setup, it seemed to do the magic and would change it to 5 star.
*Update: after uninstall of plugin, its (srm_tables) are still in the database.

This plugin is easy to install, and simple to get working. Less then 5 minutes and i was up and running with it. If you are looking for a way to have people submit reviews from your WP site and be able to auto post those reviews to your site, this is the plugin you want. No bloat, no convoluted instructions, just simple and straight forward.
Added bonus, support for this plugin was quick & helpful. I had a couple of questions after i got it installed, so i sent the plugin author an email. He got back to me the same day, answered my questions and was very helpful.
I would definitely recommend this plugin to someone else.
Joe.

I am very happy to have stumbled upon this gem. I am developing a website for a services business, and wanted what I thought was a simple function:
1. Allow customers to fill out a form to leave a review
2. Display approved reviews on the site
2 months ago I looked for a plugin that did this, and was disappointed at what I found: There were tons of “Review” plugins for WP, BUT ONLY 1 actually met both requirements above. All the other plugins are made for someone who wants to write their own reviews of products for example, a review site.
2 months ago that plugin was “WP Customer Reviews”. I downloaded and installed it, but was disappointed. It was basic, not responsive (did not work on mobile devices), and also seems to have been abandoned by the developer.
Today Star Review Manager has filled what I see to be a great need for a WordPress plugin that does those two simple things that I needed. Not only does Star Review Manager allow customers to leave a star rating review, it also allows for multiple review categories, such as Service, Quality, Value, etc.
Also, support for this plugin is very good. The developer speaks good English, and when I wrote him an email with a question, he responded 30minutes later.
Awesome plugin and big thank you to the developer Bram!
