A feel good story about Word Warp

MobilityWare — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:05:34 +0000

Every so often, in addition to the daily tweets we get about Word Warp, we get sent stories or testimonials from people who rave about our Word Warp game and want to share a little something with us. We love reading these emails and tweets because it’s such an incredible feeling to know that people love and embrace a product that we worked so hard on. Hearing people talk about how they can’t put down the game or that they’re so addicted that they have to play every night before they fall asleep makes us really feel like our hard work has paid off.

Yesterday, we received an email from a guy named Joe, who let us know how much he enjoys playing Word Warp and how it may have helped save his sight!

When Joe began playing Word Warp, he began to realize he was having trouble seeing the letters on the screen with his right eye. As weeks passed, Joe would “test” his eyes with the Word Warp game, seeing if there was any improvement in his sight. When he noticed his vision slowly worsened, he went to an eye doctor, where he was diagnosed with a metabolic cataract, rendering him partially blind in one eye. Luckily, Joe is doing well now, having embarked on a healthy lifestyle, complete with changing his diet and exercising frequently. As he stated (and we can’t agree more!), perhaps “playing Word Warp could save a life?”

And there’s more! So even with this slight obstacle, Joe still managed to put together one of the highest Word Warp scores we have ever seen, racking up over a million points! 1,000,080 to be exact (we’ve included proof below); and he’s still trying to beat it! Congratulations Joe! Your dedication to playing Word Warp is much appreciated and we hope for the best in your future.

What a truly heartwarming story and a great way to end the work week on a high note. If you have any stories about Word Warp you’d like to share with us, definitely send them our way! You can email them to Marketing@MobilityWare with “Word Warp” in the subject line. We love getting customer feedback.

Until next time, keep Word Warping! Have a great weekend!

MobilityWare in CNN Money!

MobilityWare — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:57:07 +0000

So Greystripe has been conducting a marketing campaign to try to get more app developers to use their services. They’ve been collecting data and just recently published some financials on what some of their developers, including us, have done. They decided to spotlight two of our products, Word Search and everybody’s favorite, Word Warp

Greystripe was able to get some press on this and some articles about us were recently published. In fact, CNN has a piece about how well Word Warp is doing (found here) and points out that on average, the Word Warp game “brings in just over $10,000 a month.” Now, may we point out that this $10,000 isn’t from sales of Word Warp, but rather from the advertising in our free version of Word Warp. As happy as we are from the good press we receive, we’d like to point out that these numbers and statistics are only possible because of you guys. Our fans are the reasons we make our games, and we appreciate immensely the support you guys provide. Our goal is to make you guys happy and we love getting feedback!

We’re also happy to say that the reason we offer a paid version of Word Warp as well as a free version of Word Warp, is to give people an option to choose which product they’d like to play. As our director of Marketing Dave Yonamine explains, “we’re giving consumers that choice, and whatever they go with is fine with us.”

So there you go, our success is because of your dedication! Thank you and keep Word Warping!

MobilityWare — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:44:25 +0000

So that’s the conclusion of the Word Warp Frenzy! We are ecstatic with the love and support you guys have shown us and we’re really happy with the end result. We’ll be sending out messages to all the winners on Facebook, so keep an eye out for that. If you don’t get a message, don’t fret! We plan on having lots of sweepstakes in the future similar to this one, as well as some ideas about contests and giveaways. There’s big things cooking here at MobilityWare and honestly, we can’t wait to share them with you! Definitely stay tuned to the MobilityWare blog and follow us on Twitter so you can be on the heads up on all of our news.
