Eurovision Song Contest 2013 gets an official second-screen app

iPhone and Android app promises live lyrics, biographies and results for fans while watching on TV

"As you watch the spectacle unfold on your TV set, the app will provide you with the artist's background information, the lyrics of the song, information about each participating country and, of course, the results," explains its app store listing.
Eurovision is just the latest major TV event to get a second-screen app. Talent shows including X Factor, The Voice and Britain's Got Talent all have their own official apps, but the phenomenon also extends to drama series like Da Vinci's Demons and sports events like The Grand Nationaland MotoGP.
