What is a Super Review?

In an effort to promote thoughtful reviews, LivingSocial is now designating reviews of 150 words or greater as a “Super Review” with a grey indicator. These reviews rank higher in our recommendation engine.

The database is missing an iPhone app. Can I add it?

• If the iPhone app can’t be found click the “add the iPhone app to our catalog yourself!” link that is displayed on the bottom of the page.
• Enter the required information and click create.
• On the new {entityname}’s page add the {entityname} to your collection by selecting a status option and upload an image.
• Note that if you have not already added 20 iPhone apps to your iPhone app collection you will be prevented from adding any missing iPhone app to the database. In this case, please email us at moderators@livingsocial.com with the information of the iPhone app you’d like to add to the database. We’ve implemented this minimum requirement as a protection against individuals submitting duplicate entries to the database. Once you’ve added 20 items to your collection this requirement will be lifted and you will be able to add iPhone app directly.

Leaderboard

How is my ranking determined?

Your leaderboard position is based on the number of iPhone apps you’ve marked as used to use in your collection.

My leaderboard position is going up but my collection size is shrinking. Why?

We are constantly cleaning up the LivingSocial: iPhone Apps database. If your collection size shrinks it simply is because we are merging duplicates or deleting bad entities (like toys, for example). You are likely rising on the leaderboard because users that used to be ahead of you had their collections impacted by merges and deletes. If you think that something has disappeared from your collection that shouldn’t have please contact us at feedback@livingsocial.com with details.
