I like it, it's an easy design and user friendly.

the Love Island App has a lot going on which makes it less simplistic.

Don't see what's so better about the LI App.

I mean, the Big Brother app is fine for what it does, but when you compare it to the Love Island app you can definitely tell which has had the bigger investment put into it.

With the Love Island app, you can track the Islanders individually, vote for free, tweet from within the app, take part in polls and quizzes etc. It's been made by Tellybug, a company that specifically makes apps for big-budget TV shows (they also make the apps for The X Factor, I'm a Celeb, BGT etc) and it has the interactivity that makes you want to go back to it. Admittedly, it does look a little cluttered, but I'd rather have all those bonus features with other things being a little harder to find than not have them there at all.

With Big Brother's app, it's just the website, but in an app frame (with the odd poll or two). You can even load the app-specific parts from the website (e.g the Twitter section - http://bigbrother.channel5.com/twitter).

It's just slightly disappointing that with this series being marketed as a "relaunch", they haven't invested in all sides of the show.
