request for improvement to Marketplace reviews.

 

When i search in Marketplace, i see a nice looking ea, but then I go to reviews next, and all i see is reviews -- upon reviews -- that are obviously made in first couple days of the user buying the product

I want to see only reviews of users who have been using the product for X weeks and X months.

suggestion: add the ability to sort reviews by purchase period; ie a radio button or tab i click that says 2 weeks, 1 month, and when clicked they filter the reviews to show only those reviews that were written after that period had elapsed after their purchase date.

I get your point. Most reviews are written immediately after purchase, so they don’t really show how the EA performs over time.

One workaround for now is to look at comments from the same users over time—sometimes buyers come back and update their feedback after weeks or months. Also checking the product’s signal or monitoring (if available) can give a better idea of long-term behavior.

A filter based on “time since purchase” would definitely improve transparency and help separate initial impressions from real usage experience

The next best thing (that actually exists) is to look the "Published" date. Even if Reviews are sparse, multiple positive Reviews over many years is a telltale sign of no funny business.
