Official American Idol app for fans

American Idol is a free lifestyle application developed by ABC Digital for mobile devices. It serves as the official app for the popular reality singing contest of the same name. With it, fans will be able to keep updated with the latest news and developments on the show.

Similar to America's Got Talent, American Idol is one of the premier reality TV shows in the world today. It lets fans view some of the best highlights from episodes and throughout the entire season. It also provides trending topics on social media from judges, contestants, and fellow fans.

The biggest singing contest in the world

American Idol is an American singing competition TV show created by Simon Fuller. The long-running series has been on air since mid-2002 and has an impressive 20 seasons under its belt. It draws in contestants from all over the USA in search of a hidden gem and unsigned talent, with a record deal and exclusive contracts in the music industry at stake.

A typical season for the show takes viewers along the journey, from auditioning to multiple singing rounds, and crowning a victor at the finale. It employs vocal judges to critique contestant performances. With the official American Idol app, fans will be able to view highlights from each episode and allow them to vote for their favorite idol, all from the comfort of their homes.

The app also provides a Fan Feed section wherein you can view trending topics on social media as posted by judges, contestants, and other fans in the community. The overall user experience needs a lot of work, though. It suffers from persistent login issues that prevent users from getting into their accounts. As a result, people are unable to cast their votes.

A buggy mess

The official American Idol app is a great way for fans to stay in the loop with the latest news and developments from the show. It lets them view important highlights from each episode and the Fan Feed section is a nice addition that many will appreciate. As it stands, though, the login issues prevent them from casting votes and detract from an otherwise good experience.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
