user review

Posted consumer feedback

A user review is feedback posted by an ordinary consumer rather than a professional critic.

User reviews appear on retail sites, apps, restaurants, and services, typically including a star rating and written comments: I always check the user reviews before buying anything on Amazon.

The term distinguishes amateur opinions from editorial or expert assessments.
