Not using your phone has a reward if you're a Borussia Dortmund fan
Summarised by MatchPal
Borussia Dortmund is rewarding fans who don't use their phones during matches through a new 'Fan Mode' app feature that tracks screen-off time and awards points.
Borussia Dortmund has launched 'Fan Mode' in its official app to encourage supporters to enjoy matches without phone distractions. The feature measures how long fans keep their screens locked during games, awarding points for each minute of non-use. Participation is voluntary and can be toggled off at half-time. After the match, fans with the most points can win prizes. The initiative follows a survey showing 63% of football fans regularly use their phones in the stadium.
