How do I create an account?
Signing up for a Viewpoints account is free and easy. First, click on the "Sign Up" link at the top right corner of this page. You will be prompted to enter your email address and choose a screen name and password. But, perhaps the better way to sign up is to register through Facebook or Twitter. The rest is easy—you'll get recommendations from friends, too!
What does "Facebook Verified" mean?
Linking your Viewpoints account to your Facebook profile gets you a "Facebook Verified" user designation throughout the Viewpoints site. We encourage you to link your accounts so more people will find your review content to be a credible source of information.
How do I link my Viewpoints account to Facebook?
You can link your Facebook account to a new or existing Viewpoints account using any of these methods:
- Click the "Sign up with Facebook" button when registering for your Viewpoints account.
- Click the "Log in with Facebook" link when logging into your existing Viewpoints account.
- From your account, choose the "Settings" page and look for the "Linked Accounts" section of the page.
Why am I having trouble logging in with Google, Yahoo, or Twitter?
We no longer support the ability to log into your Viewpoints account with Google, Yahoo, Twitter, AOL, Myspace, OpenID or Live ID.
You can still log in with your existing Viewpoints screen name and password, or by linking your Viewpoints account to Facebook.
If you don't already have a Viewpoints password, you can create one here.

Why is the review formatted like a survey?
We know that everyone has writer's block from time to time. In order to make it as easy as possible for our users to share their feedback on products they use every day, we guide them to answer some simple questions about the areas that are most important to shoppers who are researching on Viewpoints.
Why are my reviews not showing?
There may be a couple of reasons why your reviews are not being shown. Every review is human moderated and it can take up to several days before our moderation team can check your the review for authenticity. Any profanity or information not relevant to the product may be cause for a review to be rejected. Reviews may also be rejected if they mention a competitor or the price of the product. If your review is approved, it will show up on Viewpoints the next day.
When I go to my account, I see lists. What are lists?
