Amazon CA locale is requested and I will add it ASAP. Any locale you want to see?

Amazon DE would be perfect! Great tool btw!

Thank you, I am adding it to my shortlist.

I always thought it would be nice to sort by stars x reviewers or stars x log(reviews) -- something like that. Something that better balances rating and popularity. One of the most annoying things in amazon search by rating is scrolling through screens and screens of products with one user giving a product 5 stars.

Not exactly what you said but similar search result can be done in two steps by jeviz.com.

1-) Choose sort by Most Reviews, which is an sort option Amazon generally hides

2-) From Average Customer Review choose 4 stars and & up

this will sort all products that are 4 or above stars but in most reviews order.

Selam, Hakan. I would be very happy if you can help as I don't even speak German. Thank you keep in touch.

Personally I like the interface and think dumbing it down would be a mistake. I would recommend adding a "minimum reviews" filter, as I sometimes sort by avg rating but get things with 2 or 3 reviews that are probably fake anyway.

I found most of sort features by try and error. I will look into it if Amazon provides it I will implement it.Thanks for the feedback.

Oh, you're not running the search over your own data?

No I am directing to Amazon with right search query url.

I am the author of jeviz.com. Currently it is only for US locale. Immediate benefits are you have more options for search sorts. For example most choose a department and select "Most review" sort option to sort by number of reviews which is not visible in Amazon.com site. When you login you can save your search parameters and synch your mobile, desktop search parameters. There are about 50,000 categories in Amazon yo…

I really like the interface. I played with resizing the window of my Chrome browser to see how it would react, and the UI is resizing really well. However I did it quite a few times, from phone size to desktop size, and after a bunch of times the sidebar (with categories)'s scrolling is getting more and more sluggish. Just so you know.

Thank you for response. I am lookşng into mobile UI problems as you said.
