Advanced Product Reviews

The default opencart review system is so primitive: you cannot control the visibility of fields, you cannot reply to a customer’s review, you cannot enable automatic approval of reviews, and much more. The Advanced Product Reviews module for opencart can compensate for the shortcomings of the default reviews system and add a lot of useful functionality.
