OpenEMR Reviews

Hi,

Noted a pattern the last several months within the Sourceforge reviews for OpenEMR here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/reviews/

About once a week, we get a thumbs down, which is not bad for 100 downloads per day with software that is not single-click install. However, we are not getting any thumbs up to counteract this (get a thumbs up about once per month or so), and have watched the 90% rating go to 80% over the last several months. So, if you like the software, please give us a thumbs up, or even better, write a review there :slight_smile:

It also seems kind of bizarre that if you try to select the thumbs down reviews to read, there are no reviews listed.  Perhaps someone like the person who was so hot under the collar about considering allscripts is trying to mess with the numbers.

Nah I think there are explanations that are much less sinister
People tend to feel more strongly about negative stuff than positive.  If they are happy with openemr, they are probably too busy using it to come back and give it a positive review.  Where as a person who has a negative impression (for whatever reasons) is far more likely to just come and hit thumbs down.

^ That’s true, people are much more likely to take action over anger than happiness.  That being said, if we all would stop in to give a positive rating, & encourage happy end users to write a quick good review & add their thumbs up, it would be a big boost for the project in general.
Thanks for putting this out there Brady.

(note we just got a aggregation of several thumbs downs over the last day which is making our review percentage less than 80%; please help us by giving OpenEMR a good review if you like the software)

Adding a review option to the about us page. by juggernautsei · Pull Request #1987 · openemr/openemr · GitHub

I am reviving this topic once again. To go along with our marketing efforts. My focus is non-techie people being attracted to using OpenEMR. To broaden OpenEMR user base, we need to include people who don’t know tech. That is where our biggest opportunity lay.

In this thread, the object was to get people who are on the message board to leave a review. Let’s take the review box to the user so that they don’t have to come back and leave a review. It is right there with them. It is obvious that people go to the about us page. So, let’s stick a review button there.

@MatthewVita if you could add to the registration a reminder to leave a review, that can start the ball rolling going forward.
