The App Voting Fair or Unfair?

[Josy]

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?

[poppsywoppsy]

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.

[Cherie]

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

[Marcus.]

its not going to have the full idea of who going to win because not all of us have not got the app

[Josy]

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

The app voting is free though

[Achilles]

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.

[Jay.]

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.

[Josy]

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.

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.

[Cherie]

The app voting is free though

I thought it was 99p for 2 votes :conf: why not put it on the website for all to use then, must be some kick back from it

[Firewire]

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

[Josy]

I thought it was 99p for 2 votes :conf: why not put it on the website for all to use then, must be some kick back from it

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

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

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?

[Cherie]

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

Poll on the website like they did last year ?

[andybigbro]

It's pretty unfair.

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

[Brother Leon]

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).

[Cherie]

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

Oh :joker: didn't know i could get it on the ipad doh! Won't bother now though just don't care enough

[zakman440]

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.

[Firewire]

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?

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

Poll on the website like they did last year ?

I agree that it should be online, too. I didn't realise it wasn't.

[Josy]

Yeah I do agree it should be free but it's should be made available to everyone IMO

[mooo]

Should have just done it on the website

[andybigbro]

Should have just done it on the website

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

[Jay.]

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

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

[Achilles]

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.

[sampvt]

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.

[Firewire]

Is the app available on android?

[Josy]

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.

[Jay.]

I just looked, the polls are free but the voting to evict is 99p for two votes.

So voting for the person who had power last week & for immunity is actually free.

[Jake.]

I have an ipad so I could vote.. I guess it's a disadvantage to others but meh, most twists this series have been unfair and it's most likely one of my faves who will be saved lol

[Kazanne]

Unfair,even though I have an Iphone and Ipad,there might be loads of people who want to vote who haven't got the right phone,so yes very unfair.

Do you think these votes are fair or unfair?


Yes some of the Public have the power
so its around 30%



But the Friday vote is by phone or mobile

[Firewire]

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.

Oh, then it's unfair. I'm surprised why they haven't opened it up to everyone online? You don't pay to download the app, so I don't see what Channel 5/Endemol are getting out of it by only opening it up to Apple users :shrug:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its totally unfair.

Its 2014 so first of all why cant we get some kind of app on android and secondly have they not heard of text or phone so everyone can get involved.

The people who use the app are most likely a lot younger and may vote differently therefor its an unfair atvantage.

[Pincho Paxton]

Stupid App. Mobile phones are for losers.

[Sophiee]

definitely unfair as not everybody has access to the app available. they should make an online poll.

[Marsh.]

Oh :joker: didn't know i could get it on the ipad doh! Won't bother now though just don't care enough

:joker:

[hijaxers]

totally unfair - i can't get the app

[chuff me dizzy]

Ive not got a phone with the app, do it online on the website

[Northern Monkey]

Fair,Get a better phone....:joker:

[Vicky.]

Unfair as not everyone can vote...

I'm not too bothered though tbh

[Jake.]

Ive not got a phone with the app, do it online on the website

What, can you do it online?

[sampvt]

Whats an app. I still use the phone box at the end of the road and I don't know where the app is on it, can someone help me. Im feeling victimised.

[sampvt]

[QUOTE=Pincho Paxton;7098519]Stupid App. Mobile phones are for losers.[/QUOT

Pax why are you sporting my hero as your sig. My wife says I make him look like Mr Tumble.

[armand.kay]

Unfair! #Justice4android #justice4oldies

[LukeB]

they need to put it on other phone like android phones but iphones are the most popular phone around

[LukeB]

[LukeB]

Hmm weird.

[Marcus.]

well yeah it was from bbxtra
silly me

[Josy]

Yeah it more than likely will be false but people on here have said in the past that the app votes can be cheated, that's probably what bbxtra is on about.

[arista]

Its totally unfair.

Its 2014 so first of all why cant we get some kind of app on android and secondly have they not heard of text or phone so everyone can get involved.

The people who use the app are most likely a lot younger and may vote differently therefor its an unfair advantage.


Yes
Thats Life

[LukeB]

Yeah it more than likely will be false but people on here have said in the past that the app votes can be cheated, that's probably what bbxtra is on about.

[joeysteele]

Unfair, once you use something that is not available to everyone and exclude the systems that are at the same time then it has to be unfair and unrepresentative too.

[Cherie]

:joker:

Alright Mr Technology :laugh:

[Marsh.]

:laugh:

[Josy]

Most think it's unfair then I see

[Yaki da]

Unfair, once you use something that is not available to everyone and exclude the systems that are at the same time then it has to be unfair and unrepresentative too.

Not everyone has a phone. Unfair to ask them to vote at all.
