See through inflated Amazon ratings.
StarSkew reads the rating data already on an Amazon product page and flags listings whose reviews follow patterns sometimes linked to inflated or incentivized ratings — right next to the stars, before you buy.

One badge, three verdicts
StarSkew adds a small badge beside the rating. It summarizes the review data into one of three states.
Looks Genuine
No strong unusual patterns in the rating data.
Mixed Signals
One pattern worth a second look before you trust the stars.
Unusual Patterns
Multiple statistical red flags in how the reviews are distributed.
What it looks at
The verdict comes from public rating data only — no scraping of your account, orders, or browsing.
Very high ratings at scale
A 4.8★+ average held across hundreds of reviews is rarer than it looks.
Implausible perfect scores
A flat 5.0 across dozens of reviews almost never happens organically.
Review spikes
A sudden burst of new reviews in a short window stands out.
Skewed distributions
Histograms with almost all 5-stars and near-zero low ratings.
