Background
Since 2008, Swedish Public Radio and Public Television together with the help organisation Radiohjälpen produce the week long live radio and TV broadcast Musikhjälpen. The audience request songs, donating money for a humanitarian cause while doing so. There are also a vast number of initiatives held around Sweden, each one with the mission to collect money to the cause. Artists and celebrities also visit the studio to perform music, as well as auctioning off various items. Musikhjälpen engage thousands upon thousands of people each year.
The goal with the app was to increase the number of listeners and viewers, making it easier and more fun for the audience to donate money and giving the audience more power to affect the broadcast. The app would also serve as a link between the studio and the audience, which would create interesting and spontaneous events in the studio.
