April 16, 2014LAS VEGAS, NV—April 15, 2014 - LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, a geo-location based mobile marketing platform that enables restaurants to publish “real-time” and “instant offers” to nearby consumers, today announced that it has completed the development of the livedeal.com iOS mobile App and has entered it into Apple’s submission process.

As with the recently released Android App, the iOS app includes a host of excellent features, which will allow users instant access to restaurant deals. These include:
· Extremely fast and intuitive navigation
· GeoLocation – displaying deals in close proximity to the user
· For users on the move, they will be able to select and browse deals for locations by zip code or city name
· Ability to search for different types of deals, whether by restaurant name, location, or deal description.
· International Support – users in any city can view deals posted by merchants in their own locale.
What is livedeal.com?
livedeal.com is a unique, real-time "deal engine" that connects merchants with consumers. The Company believes that it has developed a first-of-its-kind web/mobile platform providing restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers. The website includes a number of user and restaurant-friendly features, including:
· an intuitive interface enabling restaurants to create limited-time offers and publish them immediately or on a preset schedule that is fully customizable;
· state-of-the-art scheduling technology giving restaurants the freedom to choose the days, times and duration of the offers, enabling them to create offers that entice consumers to visit their establishment during their slower periods;
· advanced publishing options allowing restaurants to manage traffic by limiting the number of available vouchers to consumers;
· superior geo-location technology allowing multi-location restaurants to segment offers by location, thereby attracting customers to slower locations while eliminating potential over-crowding at busier sites;
