I had been to New Year’s eve celebrations at the Times Square in 1999 and 2000. It was wild and awesome at the same time but I am not sure if I am up for the crowds anymore. If you don’t like crowds that’s not where you want to be.
This year, you can watch the celebrations, read about it, check out the show schedules right from your iPhone. How, you might ask?
You can do all that and more with the Times Square’s Official New Year’s Eve Ball iPhone app. That’s a mouthful for an app title isn’t it?
The app also is going to feature a LIVE co-hosted official show featuring A-List musical performances, celebrity appearances, first Times Square Wedding, hourly countdowns and the midnight Ball Drop!
Here are the features of the app
- Participate in the celebration by submitting your New Year’s photo for friends, family and other revelers to vote on.
- Their favorites may be selected to be seen on the Toshiba Vision sign atop One Times Square directly beneath the Waterford Crystal New Year’s Eve Ball on December 31st! The selected photos will also be featured on the LIVE Show.
- Discover everything you need to know about the Times Square New Year’s Eve Celebration including the history, news, weather, photos, relevant maps and LIVE Show schedule.
- Send New Year’s Eve kisses and share photos with friends and family.
- Watch live streaming of the events in Times Square leading up to New Year’s Eve throughout December as well as the highlight promo and other exclusive video content.
- Customize your Toshiba Countdown Clock with your personal photo and time zone.
- Check-in via Foursquare, Facebook and Twitter to find out how far away you are from Times Square.
The app is available for download for FREE in the App Store. Get downloading now.
Whether you are partying at the time square or in your basement, this is a must have app for this New Year’s eve.
