The best review widgets to use
Slider I. with header
The slider I. -with header is our most popular product – because with this header you can not only display your ratings but it also helps you to collect them.
It’s also important to note that all of our widgets are fully mobile responsive – so they also help to increase conversions and sales for mobile visitors.
NEW LAYOUT: Slider I. with AI summary
One of our most exciting features is the new review widget layout: Slider I. with AI summary.
This layout provides you with a short summary created by ChatGPT in the first review card of your slider widget. It summarizes the content of your reviews displayed in your widget in just one sentence – giving your visitors a taste of what they can read about in your reviews.
It’s especially beneficial to use this layout when you have reviews with long texts.
