Neat idea, seems kinda useless unfortunately. Since it's entirely crowdsourced (I assume from my brief visit), you're getting very anecdotal information, and I think it'll be biased towards people who've had bad experiences with products. Feels like you'd need a huge community of pretty dedicated contributors to make this work, and I'm skeptical that can be built from the ground up for this narrow purpose.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My thoughts exactly.
13-14 years ago when smart phones were fairly novel people actually left meaningful app reviews.
Today people only bother if they’re discontent or lured into it.
There's also looria.com/reddit, which gives product recommendations based on the thoughts from different hobby subs. :)
