The fact that anyone can post a star rating may mean that the 'reviews' are less valuable... (I could say Web Summit was 1 star, but I've never been)
Have you also thought about adding a text element so people can say something about it?
Thank you @bentossell. We definitively want to include a comment box in our next release to collect qualitative verbatim.
Regarding the fact that anyone can post a rating, we've seen that most users only rate events they attended and when they give a rating, bad or good, to an event they don't know in person, it's based on what their friends told them and some sort of 'collective' wisdom. However, we hope to improve the app and get closer to 100% real reviews in the future.
I like the concept from a strictly lead generation POV.
The design is dope. It reminds me of Typepad.
I'm curious what the end goal is suppose to be for the user. Like @bentossell said, it's really easy to just fake ratings.
@dredurr thank you Deandre, @monicabadulescu is responsible of our design. You made her day :)
For now, we're just testing wether event attendees are demanding such a product and willing to evaluate conferences and tradeshows. In the future, we would like to recommend events to users based on those they liked the most.
@vincentguilloux thank you Vincent. First we would like to improve the rating functionalities with a comment box for users to leave notes & feedback. Then we will be able to develop the recommendation side of Eventologist and match attendees with events that fit their business profiles.
