Last week at Review.Network was all about the User MVP app. The team worked very hard and we are happy to announce that we released the first public version of the app on schedule! You can find it on the Google Play Store, or download an APK from our website.

Review.Network’s User MVP is a fully decentralized application — this means that it does not rely on centralized back-end servers to function. All of the functionality is implemented through the combination of a client side React Native Application and Ethereum Smart Contracts. Coming next will be the public release of the Review.Network Research MVP application, we’re working around the clock to make it available as soon as possible!

Features

We have successfully implemented the core set of functionalities, and are now continuing the development to add more features one by one.

Authentication

Registering on the application is simple — just provide your email, username and password, and a new wallet is generated for you. Your email or password are not transmitted over the network or stored in any databases. They are employed locally for authentication, with the password being used to encrypt your wallet before saving it to your phone’s storage. Passwords are not stored anywhere.

Usernames are used to establish new users on the smart contract, and are displayed publicly on the reviews you write.

During registration, we will seed your new account with ‘test ether’ to make it easier to try out the app.

Reviews

After you have registered, you will see the main reviews feed. That’s where you can browse through categories and subcategories, look at products and services, and read their reviews. It’s important to note that the app displays only the reviews that have passed validation.
