5 Things We Think You’ll like About The Cipher Web Mobile App

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

We probably haven’t been plugging this enough, but we’ve got a web mobile app that will let YOU play games without sending a single SMS. That’s right, so all of you who don’t want to/can’t play games via SMS can now join in the fun.

The mobile app has 2 advantages over SMS:
1. It’s CHEAP and FAST
The web mobile app is super lightweight, so it uses less bandwidth and will actually work out to be cheaper and far more responsive than SMS. If your phone is WiFi enabled and you’re lucky enough to be somewhere with WiFi. You can play FOR FREE!

2. Access game descriptions from anywhere
We understand that you can’t always remember the tiny details, so we’ve made all the info you’ll need to play a game available on our mobile app.

3. You can play MULTIPLE Games
It wasn’t feasible with SMS, but now with the mobile app, you can easily switch between games. This means you can join a couple of games and have a Cipher marathon.

4. How about playing from your desktop as well?
Some games won’t need you leave your house. In those cases, it would really be quite wasteful to SMS sitting around at home. The mobile app can be accessed from your desktop as well, so you can play from the comfort of your armchair.

5. You can play MULTIPLE Games
It was difficult for us to manage that, but now with the mobile app, you can easily switch between games. This means you can join a couple of games and have a Cipher marathon.
