[Mobile App](https://stringers.io/en/apps/index.md) · iOS · written 11-6 Quwet El Hob · IC YAPIMLAR FILM PROGRAMLARI YAPIMCILIK SANAYI VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI # 10 tickets for 5 riyals, monthly membership 3,800 riyals: official voting app for an Arabic dating reality show **What it is** The official app for an Arabic-language dating reality show: vote for contestants, watch live streams, and climb the leaderboard in the live room, plus a dating section. It earns from selling tickets and memberships. **Why it took off** The show airs daily, so there's a nightly voting cycle, and all the traffic comes from the show and its fans. Contestants come from several Maghreb countries, so voting became a matter of national pride. A tiered tipping ladder from 10 free tickets up to a 1,000-dollar monthly membership, plus big spending from Gulf fans, pushed it onto the grossing chart. **C** **How you could follow** Don't build a consumer app; only the official votes count. Build a white-label voting and live-tipping system and sell it to Arabic or Turkish reality shows still using free web voting, on a revenue-share deal. Grade C: the monetization is clear and it has proven it can collect money, and almost nobody noticed it. But its users come entirely from the show's rights and the official identity, which followers can't copy. It can only be turned into a B2B outsourcing business for the show's producers. The Turkish version's reputation collapsed after the finale, which also shows that one-season-and-done carries real risk. Few people know about it yet .

Its official app launched a month ago and reached the App Store overall free chart in Tunisia and Algeria, and the entertainment grossing chart in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. It wasn't built by a startup; a Turkish production company brought over, essentially unchanged, the "paid voting + live tipping" model it ran for a season in Turkey. Below: how it makes money, where users come from, what happened to that Turkish season in the end, and what outsiders can take from this. ### Two things on the same day On Oct 24, Quwet El Hob shipped version 1.0.2. The first two items in the release notes: a new Platinum membership that gives 5,000 votes a week and shows your title in the live room, and a "10,000 live tickets" pack that only appears during broadcasts. Saudi store prices are SAR 3,799.99 per month and SAR 2,999.99 per pack, roughly $1,000 and $800. The same day, a Saudi user left a four-star App Store review with the show's name as the title and one line in the body: "ياليت تخلونها 30 صوت بدال 10 أصوات" — I wish you'd let them turn the (free new-user) 10 votes into 30 votes. Put these two things together and you have the whole business of this app: most people only ever use the free 10 votes, and a tiny minority spends thousands of riyals in one go. ### What it is The show premiered in Sep 28, hosted by Lebanese presenter Eliane Khawand, with contestants from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon and Sudan. By Nov 5 it had reached episode 35, almost daily. Prime Video has exclusive rights, and the official YouTube channel mirrors it (318k subscribers). The app is the show's "second screen," with three parts: - **Voting** : give your favorite contestant "official votes." New users get 10 free. - **Live rooms** : they go live during show hours, with chat and "VS battles" (two contestants compete on vote counts over 5 minutes). Each room has a "Top supporters" leaderboard. Live rooms **accept only paid votes** , so the free 10 votes don't work there. - **Love Game** : an optional dating section where you build a profile and can chat once you match. The Google Play version launched in Sep 23, and iOS followed in Oct 7. The developer is listed as IC YAPIMLAR, the production company behind the Turkish dating reality show "Kısmetse Olur": İç Yapımlar. ### Where the money comes from: a tiered live-gifting system Prices on the Saudi App Store page (11-06): | Project | Pricing | About | |---|---|---| | 10 votes | SAR 4.99 | $1.3 | | 100 votes | SAR 39.99 | $11 | | 1,000 votes | SAR 299.99 | $80 | | 10,000 live tickets (sold only during live shows, given directly to contestants) | SAR 2,999.99 | $800 | | VIP monthly membership (150 votes per week + dating perks) | SAR 129.99 | $35 | | Platinum monthly membership (5,000 votes per week, badge, entrance name) | SAR 3,799.99 | $1,013 | | Profile boost / see who likes you, 24 hours | SAR 49.99 / 89.99 | $13 / $24 | The structure is more interesting than the prices: free 10 votes bring people in → wanting to make a statement in the live room means buying → the live room has a tipping leaderboard, and charting on it costs more → Platinum is only open to accounts that have **bought 1,000 votes in total** . It's the tiering of a live-tipping platform, with the gifts swapped for votes that decide who stays. Signs people are paying: on the App Store entertainment Top Grossing chart, Qatar peaked at #33, Lebanon at #73, Saudi Arabia at #90, Kuwait at #103, Egypt at #110, and France and Belgium have also charted (10-28 to 11-06). Actual revenue isn't public. Judging from these ranks, it's mid-sized (inference). Google Play revenue isn't visible. ### Where users come from: the show itself, plus "national teams" **The show is the one big channel.** The official site quwetelhob.com leads with "Download the App" on its first screen. The official TikTok posts a "Episode N preview" every day, with single videos getting 35k to 245k views from late October to early November. The Facebook page has 316k followers. With one episode a day, every evening is a voting moment, and the app itself almost never spends money on acquisition. I didn't find any paid ads (not finding them doesn't mean there were none). **Fan accounts are making its tutorials and rallying people.** On TikTok, fans teach "log in with Gmail, each account gets 10 free votes," and others show Android and iPhone users how to vote more, including borrowing friends' phones to vote several times. The Algerian fan account @jazayri.officiel tags #قوة_الحب and #قسمة_ونصيب together while cutting contestant clips; three videos each passed 1.1M to 1.9M views (10-18 to 11-01). Another account, @themoons53, focuses on the Lebanese male contestant Khaled and the Sudanese female contestant Reem as a pair. In Nov 4, one of its videos complained that the host "never asks them a single question at the end of each episode," and it got 108k views. **The charts match the contestants' nationalities.** The highest free-chart ranks go to Tunisia (Entertainment #5, overall #58) and Algeria (Entertainment #6, overall #73), followed by Egypt and Lebanon. Fan pages run posts like "Such-and-such 🇲🇦 is #1 in votes." Voting has turned into national pride between countries (inference, with fairly strong evidence). Android users in the Maghreb are numerous, so Google Play is the bulk of the business: 53k installs and 1,898 ratings, with 11-05 to 11-06 adding 160 ratings in a single day, roughly 4 times the iOS rate (iOS all-region rating 476,11-06). The iOS rhythm tracks the plot. In late October it added four to ten ratings a day. In November, on the 5 and 6 days, that climbed to 25 and 20. The number of countries charting went from 14 to 23. ### How the Turkish season ended The same developer account also publishes an app called "Kısmetse Olur: Aşkın Gücü", the official app, launched in March 2026 with an almost identical structure. In the Turkish store it currently has 973 ratings and an average of 2.23 (11-06). The average was dragged down in the days around Aug 28. In that season's finale, the couple the audience had paid to support didn't win. The crown went to the pick made by the housemates. Dozens of one-star reviews flooded the App Store at once: > "We spent so much money voting, and Cansın wins with 40k votes, the audience's votes don't count, and the champion gets picked by the house": a one-star review from Turkey's store, 08-28 (40) > "Madem sonucu etkilemiyor neden bu kadar para döktük bu uygulamaya" — one-star review from the Turkey store, 08-28 ("Since it doesn't affect the result, why did we spend so much money on this app?") This shows two things. First, paid voting really does bring in money: fans themselves say it was "millions." Second, its lifespan is one season, and once the ending leaves paying users unhappy, the reputation drops to zero overnight. The Arabic version is at 4.6 stars on iOS in Saudi Arabia and 4.6 on Google Play right now only because the finale hasn't happened yet. ### Who it's competing with | Product | Format | How it differs | |---|---|---| | Aşkın Gücü (same company) | Turkish-language app, 2026-03 | The original, not a copycat | | "قسمة ونصيب" (Qesma w Naseeb) | Similar Arabic dating reality show, also filmed in Turkey, on YouTube + Prime Video; voting on the web at loveinmansion.com | Free, 1 votes per device per day. No paid votes, no live-room leaderboards, no dating. Money comes from the videos themselves | | MBC-family talent shows (Star Academy etc.) | SMS / in-house app voting | Old-style paid voting, no live-room leaderboard | | ITV's "Love Island" app | UK | Free voting, no paid votes | | TikTok LIVE, Bigo | Live tipping | The same "spend money for someone, climb the rankings" psychology, but it doesn't decide who gets eliminated | I couldn't find any third party running a similar show-voting app in the Arabic market. The closest comparison is "قسمة ونصيب": nearly the same audience, the same filming location, and it chose free web voting, leaving that money on the table. ### Can you ride it? You can't build one and copy this. Its users come from the show's rights and from the word "official": only its votes count. An outsider's "Quwet El Hob voting" app has no votes that affect the show, so nobody would buy. What you can take is the method, but the buyer changes. It's not the consumer, it's the show's producer: - **Build an official second screen for shows that don't yet have paid voting.** Free web-voting shows like "قسمة ونصيب", national talent contests, and internet-famous dating shows are all potential clients. The product is the same formula: free votes to acquire users, paid-only live rooms, a tipping leaderboard, high-priced memberships unlocked by cumulative spending, and a dating section to keep people around. - **Write the rules down first.** The lesson from the Turkish season is that if paid votes don't have the final say, the finale night will blow up. Whoever runs this business has to agree with the show's producer, before going live, on exactly how the votes count, and put it in the rules and the store listing. ### If it were you **My verdict** : this is a business that really makes money, but the money belongs to whoever holds the show. What an indie developer can do is act as the tech and monetization contractor for the producer, not build a consumer-facing app. **Who it suits** : teams that have built live-tipping, voice-room, or virtual-gift systems and already have payments, live streaming, and leaderboard modules, plus connections to production companies or MCNs in the Middle East, North Africa, or Turkey. **Not for:** solo devs hoping to get traffic from the app stores on their own, or anyone without a relationship with the show's producers who isn't willing to do B2B sales. Without official authorization, this category has no traffic at all. **How to do it** : package this as a white-label product that can be slapped onto any show: voting, live rooms, tipping leaderboards, membership tiers, dating. Negotiate revenue share, not project fees. Use Quwet El Hob's Top Grossing ranks and price table as the case study in those talks. **How to get clients** : your customers are production companies and broadcast platforms. Start with shows that already use free web voting and whose audiences cluster in the Gulf and the Maghreb, like the next season of "قسمة ونصيب" or Arabic and Turkish internet-famous dating shows. Reach out before a new season starts filming. Once it's on air, it's too late to negotiate. **What's the timeline** : the Turkish season ran from March to late August, about six months. The Arabic season premiered in late September, so at this pace it will wrap in spring 2027, which is when the shows sign next season's partners. If you want to talk, aim for the start of the year. **What would show I've got it wrong** : if Quwet El Hob drops off the Arabic Top Grossing charts after the finale, or if post-finale ratings collapse to around 2 stars as they did in Turkey and the next season's producer goes back to free voting, that means paid voting can only earn for one season in this market, and it's not worth building as an outsourced business.

Nothing found. ## Quwet El Hob (قوة الحب): why it took off > Research date 2026-11-06. Data: our appstore / googleplay libraries (agent-im machine), iTunes lookup, App Store pages, TikHub, Jina search. ### One line It's the **official voting + live-stream + dating-partner app** for the Arabic dating reality show *قوة الحب / Quwet El Hob* (Prime Video exclusive, premiered 2026-09-28). The developer, İç Yapımlar, is the production company behind the long-running Turkish dating show *Kısmetse Olur: Aşkın Gücü*. This is not an independent startup product. **The show's producers copied the paid-voting app that already worked in Turkey, nearly unchanged, into the Arab market.** Traffic comes entirely from the show (Prime Video + YouTube 318k subscribers + Facebook 316k followers + daily episode teasers). Money comes from fans buying tickets to support their picks, and the pricing is whale-oriented. ### 1. What it is - App Store id6812902703,2026-10-07 launched (iTunes lookup), Entertainment, 17+, Arabic / English, version 1.0.2 (2026-10-24). Google Play package com.quwetelhob.app, launched 2026-09-23 (googleplay library). - Developer IC YAPIMLAR FILM PROGRAMLARI YAPIMCILIK (artistId 1726216392). The same account also publishes the Turkish version **Aşkın Gücü** (id6759459654,2026-03-11 on the TR store, 973 ratings, average 2.23; iTunes lookup tr 2026-11-06). Our data card says developer_app_count=1 because the database didn't capture this app on the TR store. - Features (store description): - Vote page: new users get 10 free official votes; - Live room: airs during show hours with chat and VS battles (two contestants compete for votes over 5 minutes). **The live room accepts only paid tickets** and shows a "Top supporters" leaderboard; - Love Game: optional dating matching / chat; - In-app purchases: single ticket packs plus a monthly membership. - Prices (Saudi App Store page, 2026-11-06): 10 tickets SAR 4.99, 100 tickets SAR 39.99, 1000 tickets SAR 299.99, **10,000 live tickets SAR 2,999.99 (about $800)** , VIP monthly membership SAR 129.99 (150 tickets per week), **Platinum monthly membership SAR 3,799.99 (about $1,013, 5,000 tickets per week, only open to accounts that have already bought at least 1000 tickets, with an entrance name badge)** , Profile Boost SAR 49.99, See who likes you for 24h SAR 89.99. The 1.0.2 update specifically added Platinum membership, a 10,000-ticket live pack, and live-room leaderboards, clearly iterating toward high-spending users. ### 2. Data: how it grew - iOS all-storefront rating: 262 (10-28) → 476 (11-06), up 7 over the last 94 days. Daily new ratings rose from 4–10 to 20–25. Charting countries went from 14 to 23 (data card / appstore.app_day). - Entertainment Top Free chart (appstore.chart_rank, 10-28 to 11-06): best rank #5 in Tunisia, #6 in Algeria, 18 in Egypt, 20 in Lebanon, 32 in Oman, 33 in Qatar, 38 in the UAE, 40 in Saudi Arabia. Tunisia and Algeria entered the **overall all-category Top Free chart** from 11-03 (58 / 73). France (North African diaspora) ranked 98 in Entertainment. - **The Entertainment Top Grossing chart already shows results** (appstore.chart_rank): best rank #33 in Qatar, 73 in Lebanon, 90 in Saudi Arabia, 103 in Kuwait, 110 in Egypt, 163 in the UAE, 132 in France, and 118 in Belgium. This shows people are already paying. (The data card says "no signal on the Top Grossing chart", but the library does have it.) - Android is the main driver: Google Play has **53,314 installs and 1,898 ratings, growing from 11-05 to 11-06, with 160 new ratings in one day** (googleplay.app_day). The volume is about 4 times iOS, consistent with Android's share of the Maghreb and Egypt. On the Play social chart, it ranked 66 in France. - On the show side: YouTube @quwetelhob has 318k subscribers and 1.5K videos. Facebook has 316k followers and "846k people talking about this". TikTok @quwetelhob has 36k followers and posts a daily "Episode N teaser", with each getting 35k–245k views (TikHub, 10-26 to 11-05). The official Instagram account posts daily in sync. By 11-05, the show had reached episode 35, nearly a daily schedule. ### 3. Competitors | Name | Where | Launched | Scale | How it differs | |---|---|---|---|---| | Aşkın Gücü (official app for Kısmetse Olur: Aşkın Gücü) | iOS / Android | 2026-03 (app version); show started 2015 | TR iOS store 973 ratings, average 2.23 | Same company, same product. Quwet is the Arabic clone of it. The Turkish version was criticized by contestants and viewers over paid voting (reports mention 50 TL per vote). | | *قسمة ونصيب / Qesma w Naseeb* web voting at loveinmansion.com | Web | Since 2024, now season 4, plus "العروس والحماة" (2026-06-29) | A similar Arabic dating reality show, hosted by Rita Harb, filmed in Turkey, produced by M Networks/Melon, streaming on YouTube + Prime Video | Free web voting, 1 votes per device per day. Revenue comes from YouTube ads and licensing. No paid votes, live-stream tipping, or dating. | | Similar to MBC's Star Academy and Arab Idol | SMS / Shahid App | Years | Big | Traditional paid SMS voting. No live-room chart battles or dating features. | | ITV Love Island App | iOS / Android | From ¥2017 | UK big | Free voting and content. No big paid votes. Not aimed at the Middle East or North Africa. | | TikTok LIVE / Bigo live tipping | App features | — | Very large | Same psychology of "spend money to lift someone up the chart," but not tied to the show's elimination results. | No third party found copying this model for an Arabic show voting app. The most direct competitor in the same niche is Qesma w Naseeb, which chose free web voting. ### 4. Where users come from 1. **The show itself (confirmed)** : Prime Video exclusive + YouTube free full episodes (318k subscribers) + daily teasers on Facebook / Instagram / TikTok, each leading people to "download the app to vote". The website quwetelhob.com's hero section reads "Download the app / Apply to compete". 2. **Host and contestants' personal accounts (confirmed)** : Host Eliane Khawand (Lebanese) promotes the show on TikTok / Instagram. Contestants come from Algeria (Bushra, Inas), Morocco (Ikram), Libya (Joanna), and others. Fans have made many #قوة_الحب edits. 3. **Fan-made "how to vote" tutorials (confirmed)** : On TikTok, @jazayri.officiel has a video "How to vote for free: log in with Gmail, each account gets 10 free votes". @themoons53 has videos on "how to vote on Android and iPhone" and "borrow a friend's phone to vote for someone". TikTok already has search topics like "تطبيق التصويت قوة الحب" (Quwet El Hob voting app). 4. **Nationalist-style vote-rallying (inferred, fairly strong evidence)** : The top of the chart is Tunisia / Algeria / Morocco / Libya, the home countries of the contestants. Fan pages use slogans like "إكرام 🇲🇦 Voting #1". Voting has become a matter of national pride between countries, which gives people a reason to buy tickets. 5. Paid acquisition: no evidence found (the Meta / TikTok ad libraries don't track this company). Unverified. ### 5. Why it took off - **The IP brings its own traffic; the app only monetizes it** : The show airs daily, every evening is a voting moment, and the app itself has zero acquisition cost. - **Reusing a proven Turkish playbook** : İç Yapımar has run Kısmetse Olur in Turkey for 10 years. 2026-03 it launched the Aşkın Gücü app to test paid voting + live streams + dating, then 9–October moved it into the Arabic market. The product structure, in-app purchase items, and terms are almost identical. - **Designed for big spenders** : 10 free votes bring people in. The live room only accepts paid tickets, and there's a Top supporters leaderboard and Platinum entrance badges. Platinum unlocks only after you've bought 1000 tickets. This whole system is tiered live-stream tipping, with monthly spend reaching above $1000. High-spending fans in the Gulf countries pushed Qatar and Saudi Arabia up the Top Grossing chart. - **Timing** : Show launched (9-28) → Android release (9-23) → iOS release (10-07) → 10-24 added big in-app purchases → in November, as the preliminaries moved into eliminations and the emotional peak, the rating growth doubled and the app entered the overall chart, in sync with the storyline. ### 6. Differentiation The similar Arabic reality show (Qesma w Naseeb) uses free web voting, one vote per device. Quwet El Hob turned voting into **paid currency + live-room chart battles + dating memberships** , essentially "reality show voting × live-stream tipping." This differentiation determines that it **makes money** . Why it **has users** still depends on the show's IP and official status (only votes in the official app count). So the differentiation is not why it grew; it's why it earns. ### 7. Visibility - Revenue is not public. No media or major X accounts have written about this app (searching the x-radar corpus for "Quwet El Hob" and "قوة الحب" in the past 60 days turned up 0 posts). Discussion happens within fan communities on TikTok / Facebook, and it's about how to vote, not about the business. Among people building products, almost nobody knows about it. - But it can't be copied easily. The core assets are the show's rights and the "official vote" status, which outsiders can't replicate. ### 8. What to borrow - For content owners with an IP, build an "official second screen": free votes to acquire users → the live room only accepts paid tickets → tipping leaderboards / entrance effects → premium memberships unlocked by cumulative spending. - Took a proven format (Turkey → Arabic) and localized it, carrying the monetization structure over with it. - Uses contestants from multiple countries to create national rivalry and drive fans to spend; then uses a dating feature to turn show buzz into retention. ### 9. Still unclear - Actual revenue: only inferred from the Top Grossing charts (Qatar Entertainment 33, Saudi 90) as mid-sized; no Android revenue seen. - Retention after a season ends (the Turkish version averages 2.23, showing paid voting draws backlash, and users churn between seasons). - Whether paid ads were bought: unverified. - The Morocco store isn't in our database; the real top market could be Morocco.
