The interactive game "The Loudest Fans" (http://www.theloudestfans.com) allows
fans to cheer for their favorite soccer team. Fans are encouraged to cheer as loud as
possible for five seconds until a selfie is taken automatically. Meanwhile, a real-time
graph displays the cheering volume and the equivalent score that they earn for their
favourite team.



Meanwhile, Layzapp plans to go big: "We plan to release other interesting features in
the near future and also cover TV stations from all over the world," says Lukas Hotz,
co-founder and CEO of Layzapp. "With the current Layzapp version we intend to make the TV
experience more exciting and keep sports fans updated at all times. So tune in - AND
