Analyze Amazon reviews for authenticity

Options
Fakespot

Fakespot is a free service that accepts any Amazon product or Yelp business link. Simply paste the link in the form on the start page, and wait for the analysis of the product to show up.
If the product is known already, results are displayed right away. If it is not, Fakespot starts to pull data from Amazon to analyze the reviews.
Fakespot grades the product reviews of the item, displays an adjusted rating, Amazon's rating, and provides you with information on the authenticity of the ratings.
It may for instance tell you that "there are indications of inauthentic/low quality reviews". The analysis digs deeper than that, as it provides you with information on the reviews.
It may give you words used to describe the product, the percentage of low quality reviews, and even information on inauthentic reviews, and why they were classified as that (automation, correlation with other fake reviewer profile data and languages).
Fakespot supports only Amazon.com, but no regional Amazon sites.

    It's a very useful site, and, just by way of confirmation, it does support the UK site https://www.amazon.co.uk

    Things should be improving now - Amazon have tightened up a lot lately on reviews posted by reviewers who get the goods at a discounted price. And about time too.
