Online Reviews App

Posted: March 9, 2020

The Online Reviews App is a browser extension, which claims to provide its users with the ability to discover reviews of products, websites and services quickly and easily. However, the way that the Online Reviews App achieves this is questionable – it will not provide this content while you are browsing the website you are interested in and, instead, it will simply redirect you to popular online review services like Trust Pilot and Trip Advisor. The extension does this in a way that is not very user-friendly – to make sure that you will see the Trust Pilot and Trip Advisor links often, the Online Reviews App will replace the default page you see when you open a new tab.

This website that Online Reviews App promotes is found at Search.onlinereviewsapptab.com. It hosts a basic search engine and has quick links to popular Web destinations in North America. Finally, it also hosts links to the review services mentioned above.

The Online Reviews App is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) Installing this add-on is not recommended because it will not provide you with any relevant or valuable features – its sole purpose is to promote Search.onlinereviewsapptab.com by setting it as your browser's default new tab page. If you have the Online Reviews App on your computer, then we advise you to complete its eviction either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security tool.
