3. couple of hidden treasures were dug up
4. looking for attention and praise from others

【分析】
本题为英语完成句子题，需结合时态、非谓语动词、被动语态及固定短语等知识点解题：
1. 由时间状语recently（近期）可知用现在完成时，“占据领先地位”是固定短语take the lead，主语this app为单数，故用has taken the lead；
2. “比起”用compare with，此处逻辑主语是I，与compare为被动关系，故用过去分词短语作状语；“举办庆祝活动”是have a celebration，介词with后接动名词，故为having a celebration；
3. 主语是“几件隐藏的珍宝”（a couple of hidden treasures），与“挖出”（dig up）是被动关系，且由built可知用一般过去时的被动语态，复数主语对应were dug up；
4. instead of是介词短语，后接动名词，“寻求他人的关注和赞美”是look for attention and praise from others，故用动名词形式。
【解析】
1. 现在完成时结构为“主语+have/has+过去分词”，固定短语take the lead表示“占据领先”，主语this app为单数，因此填has taken the lead；
2. 过去分词短语Compared with作状语表“与……相比”，介词with后需接动名词，因此填Compared with having a celebration；
3. 一般过去时的被动语态结构为“主语（复数）+were+过去分词”，a couple of表示“几个”，dig的过去分词为dug，因此填couple of hidden treasures were dug up；
4. instead of是介词短语，后接动名词，look for表示“寻求”，因此填looking for attention and praise from others。
【答案】
1. has taken the lead
2. Compared with having a celebration
3. couple of hidden treasures were dug up
4. looking for attention and praise from others
