About Open Review Platform
Open Review Platform (ORP) is an independent place to read and write reviews, discover people and creative work, join discussions, and build a business presence online. ORP is available in seven languages.
Review and discover
Read and write reviews of businesses and websites, people with a public or professional presence, and movies. Browse the Books directory to find titles and their authors, or explore the Trailers directory to discover films. Each review area has its own guidelines.
Discuss and publish
OpenTalk is ORP’s public discussion space. Start a conversation, reply to others, or take part in polls. The public ORP Blog publishes editorial articles with email-verified comments that are reviewed before publication.
ORP Connect
ORP Connect is a free, optional service for adults to make friends and form relationships. One Connect profile works across all seven language apps. Members can message, publish blogs for their chosen audience, and join threaded discussions in groups and events after their membership is accepted.
Build and manage your business presence
Verified business representatives can use the Business Center to respond to reviews, raise disputes, submit private evidence, and publish Business Articles or Updates. Webmaster tools cover traffic analytics, site health, speed, SEO, and monitoring. With ORP Business Sites, build and host a website using a visual builder, preview and publish pages, and configure forms, analytics, and a verified custom domain.
How participation works
Read public content freely. Use secure email links to manage your participation without a password. ORP reviews reports and disputes using its guidelines and available evidence, with eligible appeals and private handling of supporting material. A directory listing can be unclaimed. Verification identifies the person or organization authorized to manage a profile and carries no endorsement by ORP.
Find your next step
The Help Center provides step-by-step guidance. Ask ORPy to find relevant features and pages in your selected language. ORPy explains how ORP works, while moderators handle disputes and appeals.
