SUMMARY: Find and leave reviews and opinions on movies, books, games, music, restaurants and beer.

LivingSocial is an app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that allows users to review, catalogue, and share their favorite movies, books, games, music, restaurants and beer. This app is completely based around your opinion and the opinions of other LivingSocial users.

When you load up the app, you'll want to create a username to login with. Without logging in, you lose half the functionality of the app, so don't even bother using the app if you're not going to register for LivingSocial. Once you do that, you have the option to pick through the six different categories listed on the main screen. Each one will bring you to a different area of the app.

Regardless of which category you pick, you'll have five different tabs to search through. They are: Home, Me, Feed, Friends, and Search. Home will bring you back to the main six options. Me will show your page where everything you've tagged as listening to or enjoying is stored. Feed is a constant stream of other users likes and comments for you to browse through. Friends is where you can go to see what your friends like specifically. And search is where you'll look for stuff you're currently enjoying and mark it for others to see.

LivingSocial is a cool app that offers a lot of opinions on different things. It may be confusing at first until you realize that the only way to add to your list or search for other opinions is to pick a specific category then enter the search area. Once you realize that, you'll find the app to be a lot more useful.
