Ease of Use and Installation
If you have ever installed any word press plugin, installing MyReviewPlugin is a breeze! It comes with One-click Full Site Setup and One-click Automatic Embedding. Once you uploaded and activated the plugin, these two features will be available to you: the former automatically installs plenty of useful plugins (Twitter, sitemaps, caching, and many more), while the latter allows you to easily place review contents and utilities on your theme without having to touch any code.
When you are in the settings pages, there's help along every step of the way. Next to most settings, you will find a pop out help window that explains what can you do with the setting.
Technical (and even non-technical ) Support
Every license of MyReviewPlugin comes with a lifetime technical support and assistance. You can send an email to support@myreviewplugin.com and don't be surprised if you get an answer within the hour or sometimes withing 10 to 15 minutes. Although support is available via e-mail and instant messengers, you have the option of directly opening a support ticket using their very easy to use ticket system. I have personally received answers to my questions over the weekends

MyReviewPlugin allows you to create two types of comparison tables. Horizontal tables:
Or the vertical tables:
These tables can be placed virtually anywhere on your website, and you can control its appearance in the administration area.
Is it compatible with premium wordpress themes?
The reviews and comparison tables can be placed easily in any theme. If you have a site that is a mix of regular content and reviews in a separate category, you may want to use the review functionality just on your review pages. This is made very simple in the settings panel. Simply tell MyReviewPlugin to be active in Single Post pages and not on home page or any other combination you prefer.

Another useful feature is the thumbs up/thumbs down on each visitor’s review, thus allowing other visitors to rate the usefulness of visitor reviews. This is similar to Amazon.com’s “Was this review helpful to you?” feature.
CSV Import
MyReviewPlugin takes CSV import seriously: it comes with its own bonus plugin, The Import Man, to deal with Comma-separated Values files importing. The plugin is designed to be as easy to use, is compatible with most free and paid databases, and it takes care of the Search Engine Optimization as well.

For location-sensitive reviews, you can also embed Google Maps map into your review with this plugin. Whether you input the address manually or use imported data values, the plugin will automatically show the map for you along with your review.
Review Microformats
MyReviewPlugin can format your review into two different search engine friendly microformats, hReview and RDFa. Additionally, if you’re reviewing a product, you can also use the hProduct microformat. All this is used to make your website contents more understandable to machines such as Google’s search engine, which can impact your search engine rank positively.
Post Sorting Options
This plugin has a bunch of sorting options: you can sort chronogically, by number of ratings, based on category, by weighed count or with Bayesian Weighting. All of them can be sorted ascending or descending.
Bayesian Weighting
Bayesian Weighting allows for better rating calculation that takes into account your review as the site’s editor and visitor reviews. With this you can prevent people from unfairly pumping up a certain item’s rating, resulting in more trustworthy contents.

And the Smooth theme:
For each of these themes, you also get a theme option page to tweak the appearance more.
