I think so, yeah. It took a matter of seconds.

I had a problem with the app last night, but not the issue you're experiencing.

Voting eventually worked ok on my old android smartphone (once the show had finished and it was presumably less busy), but I couldn't even get the app to load on my up-to-date android tablet, despite re-downloading it.

In my case, it's nothing to do with restricting in-app purchases, as I do that on all my devices and it works ok on one, but not the other. I only tried the app on 2 devices, so nowhere near their 6 devices limit.

Maybe all your android device registered only in one account?

They're all registered with 2 google accounts. The app has a 6 device limit, as I said, so that isn't the issue.

I'm not that bothered, TBH, as I was able to vote via one device. Just wanted to reach out to the OP to let them know they weren't the only one experiencing problems with the app.

so I had to uninstall the app and download again from google play to make the voting feature work.
Thanks for the advice.
