If you’re a huge American Idol fan, own an iPhone, and just can’t get enough of the show, then the American Idol Season 8 Exclusive app for the iPhone is totally meant for you.
It’s the first American Idol app of its kind that allows user access to AI news, pictures, contestant biographies and even exclusive video footage of the show. There’s even a My Rankings features which allows you keep track of your personal pick and see how they progress throughout the remainder of the season.
The American Idol Season 8 Exclusive app is brought to you by Zumobi Network in partnership with FreemantelMedia Enterprises. Here’s what Ken Willner, CEO of Zumobi had to say of their latest iPhone app:
American Idol is one of the premiere entertainment brands around the world, with a television franchise that is unrivaled. Zumobi is thrilled to partner with FremantleMedia Enterprises, 19 Entertainment and FOX on the development of this exclusive app for iPhone and iPod touch and we’re proud to make it available to millions of Idol fans through The Zumobi Network.
The American Idol Season 8 Exclusive app costs $1.99 which is probably just pocket change for those die-hard AI fan boys. Nevertheless, here's a little food for though before you hit that buy button - what will happen to this app when season 8 of American Idol finally comes to a close and season 9 begins? Don't you think it sounds a little fishy that it's an American Idol Season 8 Exclusive app as opposed to an American Idol Exclusive app. Get ready to part with another $1.99 in season 9 folks.
