Those with eagle eyes may have noticed, by reading the LiberKey review, you can review software with me now. In fact, most software reviews I’ll do from now on will let you have your say: by rating the product and by leaving your thoughts in the comments.

I believe in listening to and responding to user feedback; this feedback is always helpful for me and for other readers of the site.

What do You Think?

Last month I gave you a site update and promised this feature. Now it’s here, what do you think? Please rate the software rating system (below) and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

There was some previous interest for Windows Forums on the iPhone and to be honest, I was hoping something like this would come along because I didn’t want to customize the forums myself only to find a professional solution was in the works.
