As a football fan, this looks like it can be fun. Especially as you're watching the game live, create a poll to see the opinion of people in real-time during a controversial play e.g. "Was Rooney tripped or did he dive?". Good stuff bg23.

One small nitpick: on your demo screen shots, you have "Which is the best player?". It should be "Who" not "Which".

Thanks waterside, and thanks for picking that error up.

Completely envision the app working in real-time too. Also for man of the match voting etc.

Future versions will also include a breakdown of the votes by supporters as Football is a tribal sport and opinions are biased towards your club.

Thanks for the feedback

I agree with the "event" polls aspect. There should be a way to say that you are live-watching a specific event and get/create realtime polls.

Microsoft did this with the presidential debates and it was a blast. I'm not a sports guy, but once this app is more developed you may consider forking it to politics or TV shows or maybe just generic mass events.
