Init Review System adds a clean and customizable 5-star rating system to your WordPress site. Votes are stored via REST API, tracked with localStorage, and the average score is auto-calculated and optionally displayed with schema markup.
Built to be lightweight, developer-friendly, and easy to integrate into any theme or custom UI.
This plugin is part of the Init Plugin Suite — a collection of minimalist, fast, and developer-focused tools for WordPress.
