Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far! Although we can't implement everything, some things may be addressed before the release of 4.13.1.
1-) It completely hides the commenter in anonymous posts. but it would be better if the name hides a certain part of the first and last name example Jo ** Do **
The current behavior is intended. If left a comment in an online store and chose to remain anonymous, I'd very much like my name or any of its parts not to appear next to the review.
2-) All names and surnames become anonymous when transferring old comments. should be get commenters info.
It does look like a bug. I'll let the developers know, thanks!
3-) currently sharing comments with one product cariants, does not share comments on separate product variants. can be offered optionally. I think it will improve later, but I wanted to remind you. does not show which product variant commented on products with variants
On the one hand, I see why it could be useful. A T-shirt in a different color is still the same T-shirt (even if we show it as separate products in the catalog). On the other hand, "variations as one product" are essentially just that (the same product; like a game console and the same console that comes bundled with some game straight from the manufacturer). That's why only "variations as one product" share the reviews for now.
4-) It would be more effective if it shows the cities of the commentators.
It already can show the city if you enable it in the add-on settings. Registered customers will have their city displayed, and customers who haven't signed in can enter it, just like they enter their name.
5-) I hope the mobile application supports this plugin simultaneously with 4.13.
I think that's the plan. What I can say for sure is that the integration of new product reviews into mobile app is currently in the works. The design seems to be finalized, and we should start working on the API soon.
But I'll be able to make promises only once the functionality has been fully implemented and tested in the app.

1. Please add review attributes that we can customize with individual star ratings, for example:
Look
Value for Money
Scent
See various add-ons on marketplace.
Not to mention that these review attributes ought to be defineable by additionally linking them to product features, categories, or something of the likes.
We definitely won't be able to introduce it in version 4.13.1. I understand why this functionality would be awesome to have. But it would also overcomplicate the configuration of categories, products, etc. We have to find balance between making the software customizable and easy to use. There is also the balance between focusing on specific functionality and developing all the parts of the product.
That's why for now we'll probably leave this kind of extended functionality for third-party add-ons.

2. Anonymous is OK, but will it still be possible for a customer to change their name as well? It looks better / more trustworhy if a review has a name next to it. We have a lot of customers writing reviews and many (more than half) just leave their first name.
Thanks, it seems to be a practical thing, and within the scope of the current add-on. I can't promise that we'll include this in 4.13.1, but we'll definitely look into this before the release.
