• Download the "Rising Star ABC" app through the Apple Store, Windows Marketplace, 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.
