To make TV viewing experience more interesting and engaging, iCouch app — a mobile application that enables social networking for TV — has come up with a lot of features. From generating memes of live match moments to sharing the trademark phrases of the favourite commentators, this app makes sure you are in the thick of things. iCouch is available for download on Android, Windows and the iOS platform absolutely free of cost and already has one lakh registered users.
“The idea is to make TV viewing much more interesting during a live event. iCouch helps members to connect instantly, share their thoughts and pictures of their special moment by capturing that image and sharing it with others with a special tagline. People can also share their favourite team of the day and display funny hastags during the match. We know what Indians look forward to IPl. For that audience, we have a special section dedicated to all IPl matches. Download iCouch and be pleasantly surprised with the features we have included in this section. We also provide stickers to exclusive fans who are active on the app,” says Rabi Gupta, co-founder of iCouch.
Food for cricket
From a revised food and bar menu, larger-than-life TV screens to IPl inspired décor and enthralling contests, restaurants are cashing in this season of the cricket league like never before. To test the IQ of cricket lovers, Fio Cookhouse and Bar (Nehru Place) and Fio Country Kitchen and Bar (Garden of Five Senses) have introduced some interesting trivia contests during the screening of the matches. The winner gets some freebies. “The response is good. We are offering attractive prices for beer buckets and cocktails — 4-8 pm daily,” Vikas Nanda, GM, FIO says.
