Review Scout
A local-first Chrome extension for Amazon review analysis — on-page parsing, multi-language comparison, and evidence-backed ranking, with all data stored in extension-origin IndexedDB and no remote analysis backend.
Product experience
Review Scout is a Chrome extension for people who read Amazon reviews seriously — sellers comparing products, operators vetting suppliers, and buyers deciding between options. It collects reviews in your browser, keeps them on your machine, and turns them into comparisons and rankings you can trace back to the source.
What you can do
- Collect Amazon reviews directly from the product page — ratings, bodies, and pagination — without leaving the browser.
- Compare review groups side by side, with original and translated text kept together so claims stay traceable.
- Produce an evidence-backed ranking where every claim links back to the source review behind it.
- Export to CSV and back up/restore your data as JSON files you control.
How it works
Under the hood it's a local-first Chrome extension: a content script reads the review structure off the page, analysis runs on-device, and everything persists in the browser's own storage on the extension's origin. The v2.0 line removed the earlier remote features entirely, so all analysis stays on your machine.
Privacy & local operating model
Your review data stays on the machine apart from an optional licensing check. Backups are JSON files you download yourself, with no automatic or cloud backup. Uninstalling the extension removes its local data, so back up first if you need to keep it.
