Default The App Voting Fair or Unfair?

So not everyone can use or even has access to this BB App which is being used for the 'Power' votes this week, yet they say the public has the power.

Do you think these votes are fair or unfair?

I have it and all it seems to be is a collection of video clips and a voting tool.

It is nothing much at all but it is unfair to those who can't get it.

Unfair, its all about the revenue, not about giving control to the fans

I'm not into all these modern gadgets, but I know I'm in the minority so I don't see anything unfair about it.

I think it's fair, so many people have iPhones (obviously some don't) But I am surprised they don't at least have a poll on their website.

Hmm well lots of people have modern gadgets but not all for that platform that the apps on so really the public don't have the power at all, ipad and iPhone users do.

Fair, there isn't really another way they could do it. A phone vote is unfair.

Nah the app polls are free and the app is free to download. I agree they should add the polls to the official site.

How can a phone vote be unfair when anyone can use it but an app vote be fair when only people with certain iPhone and ipad os can use it?

It's pretty unfair.

A more fair way would be by doing an online poll.

If it was available on all phones then it would be fair, but it's basically decided by iPhone owners(I got iPhone myself, but still unfair).

I think it's fair if you have an iOS device, but they should put a poll on the website as well or try and launch the app on other platforms.

Because you have to pay to vote. I believe for this particular vote, it should be free.

Exactly. Nearly everyone has access to the internet so this would have been the most fair option.

Wait, the vote to give someone immunity was free wasn't it...? Confused

I thought it was only the voting to evict that costed, and it's roughly the same as the price for phoning.

Is the app thingymajig connected to a phone thingymebob? That means it would be limited to 1 vote per phone? If so that would be fair, if they want 1 vote per person.
Online polls you can vote multiple times.

its unfair because some people cant get the app and CH5 make money from us doing their job. We are now expected to vote to get to noms then vote to evict. Crap and stupid money making idea that holds the public to ransom, especially those that are infatuated with their favs.

Imagine what so many young lads with a half empty box of tissues are going to do if Ashleigh gets voted off. They are selling their mums wedding rings right now to save her, CH5 are promoting crime by doing this.

No Jonathon

And I thought the voting for this stuff on the app was free? like the PH vote last week?

I know voting for evictions on it aren't free.
