Follow the singing festival with these Eurovision Song Contest apps
Every year it is a matter of nail biting how far the Netherlands can make it during the European song festival. Duncan Laurence is doing his utmost tonight to let the Netherlands win the Eurovision Song Contest with the song ‘Arcade’.
During the final it is of course nice to follow Twitter for reactions and witty comments, but with the apps below you can really complete the Eurovision evening.
1. Eurovision Song Contest
The app you need tonight is of course the official Eurovision Song Contest app. With the Eurovision Song Contest app, the anticipation begins with a clock counting down to the start of the program. During the broadcast you will see live information about the artist and you can vote. There is also a live stream, if you are on the train and still want to watch.
With the app it is possible to take a selfie, for example with the flag of the Netherlands, to show on social media which country you support. There is also a music shop where you can buy the songs; even karaoke versions to sing along to.
2. My Eurovision Scoreboard
My Eurovision Scoreboard is for the fanatics who want to assign their own scores to the performances. For that you can easily drag the countries in order. The top one gives you the famous ‘douze points’, the second 10 points and so on. The app is free to use for all songs together.
If you want to rank the finals separately, you pay 1.09 euros for the app. It’s easy to compare your list with friends or people from other countries. The list can also be shared via social media.
3. Eurovision Videos
Take a journey through the history of the Song Contest with this simple app. Eurovision Videos offers many films from the past editions of the event, from 1956 to 2018. This will get you in the mood with a bit of nostalgia.
Each year, the app shows the city in which the festival took place. If you tap on a year, the titles of participating countries will appear on the screen where they ended. The videos can be viewed in the app, but they all come from YouTube. Favorite songs can be saved with a star in a separate list.
