- ProSieben (@ProSieben) March 9, 2020While in the first season they still voted by phone or SMS for their favorite masked musician, ProSieben catapulted the program into modern times this year. As the broadcaster announces, the audience voting for the second season of “The Masked Singer” will only take place via the in-house ProSieben app. As a result, ProSieben willingly waives the income from call and text message fees.
"The Masked Singer" - new rule: voting is only possible in the app
The TV station has revised its mobile app for the new voting . As DWDL reports. The new version of the ProSieben app can only be downloaded from Tuesday, March 10, 2020 , the day on which "The Masked Singer" starts *. ProSieben provides the new version for iOS and Android users.
One can only hope that the new app and thus the voting for “The Masked Singer” will also work flawlessly. Only a few weeks ago, ProSieben had to struggle with technical problems in its app on the show “All against one”, as the industry portal reports. However, this problem was subsequently resolved. Nevertheless, a technical error in the app could now cause increased frustration among the viewers.
The new voting system definitely has a nice side effect: In the app, viewers can work with the advice team * around Ruth Moschner, Rea Garvey and the respective show guests to find out who is behind the colorful costumes at "The Masked Singer" hides. This time, among other things, a chameleon *, a sloth *, a Dalmatian * and a dragon * are included.
The newcomer will definitely be pleased with “The Masked Singer” moderator * Matthias Opdenhöve l: in the new season he doesn't have to give the phone numbers as before.
