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 think this will be a especially fun for the World Cup. Good stuff!

Impressive. Really like the design.

A quick note...on your Twitter auth page it's not possible to paste usernames and passwords into the fields. Probably not a huge problem for most but my passwords are at the long and un-typeable end of the spectrum and I normally paste these in from a separate password manager app.

This looks great! I'm in the process of building my first iOS app with Rubymotion. May I ask where you got all the awesome looking icons and whether you used RMQ? Awesome work!

I'm also trying out rubymotion. :) I'm trying out promotion. I gave RMQ a try but I think promotion will get me up and running faster which is really important to me. And if you guys wanna help a fellow rubymotion noob out, take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23233485/add-uiimage-from... :) PS. I'll download the app and take a look. Did you see that the top paid app in the app store right now is a rubym…

I'll take a look at the question in a bit but from my experience, the support for rubymotion on SO isn't great. You are better off asking something in the mailing list or in #rubymotion room in irc.freenode.net especially if colinta or mark rickert are present. They are great and extremely helpful.

Thanks for the heads up. I will look into improving that!
