ABC’s live singing competition show Rising Star premieres Sunday at 9:00 ET, 8:00 CT. If you want to participate in voting, just download the app.



It can be downloaded through the Apple App Store, Windows Market Place, or the Google Play Store.



The App is essential to participate in the voting process, but it’s totally free and easy to use.



Just register with your Facebook or Twitter account, and you’re ready to go.



Before each performance, you’ll be asked to check-in, and then when it’s time to vote, swipe BLUE (to the right) to vote YES or RED (to the left) to vote NO.



You’ll see the results of the vote in Real Time on television – even if you are on the West Coast.



In just seconds, your votes determine whether the wall rises, whether a contestant moves on or goes home, or if you’re on the West Coast, whether a lucky contestant gets a second chance.



And if you give us permission through the app, you might also see your Facebook or Twitter profile picture on the Rising Star wall.
