My suggestion would be to build an archive (of screenshots, perhaps?) and offer in a footnote to provide those to any other researcher who asks. This is what I do with social media alternatives and Dark Web sites, because they all tend to disappear pretty fast and rarely make it into Archive.org. - Rob On 10/25/2017 09:00 AM, Scott Kushner wrote:

Hi AoIRistas,

I'm curious if any of you have any sense of the proper way to cite a user comment in the iOS App Store? I'm working on the reception of an iOS app, and the web version of the page (the only version with a visible URL) only shows the first three comments. I'm digging pretty deep into the comments pile, and want to be able to offer proper citations to my readers. I don't remember this popping up in Joseph Reagle's book, though I imagine I'm not the first to confront the issue, and I am hopeful one of you has a solution.

So.... Has anyone encountered (and perhaps overcome) the problem of citing comments only present via mobile app store with no obvious URL?

With thanks, Scott
