Word Warp in the Top 100!

So we've noticed that ever since we posted Caesar's incredible high score on Word Warp a couple weeks ago, we've been getting an increased number of downloads. Yes, Caesar's score of 11,788,530 is amazing to say the least, but we're also super stoked that Free Word Warp has climbed up to #18 on the Top 100 Free Apps on iTunes!

New Word Warp High Score!!

Hello again everybody!  Hope you all have been well.  Looking forward to summer yet? 

Anyway, last month we started a gallery on our Word Warp Facebook page consisting of all of our user-submitted high scores for Word Warp, inviting everybody to send their high scores to us so that we could include everybody.  Also, people have always been wondering what the all time high score for Word Warp is.  For a long time, James Ryan, from Austin, Texas, was the current Word Warp champ with a score of 1,500,000 when he bested his previous high score of 1,000,000 points. 

That is, until Caesar Munene sent his high score in.

Exciting news!

It's fun to be recognized, even better when it's for a good thing. Yes, it's been a while since our last update, but we're back and it's nice to know that a lot of you guys haven’t forgotten about us! So 148Apps.com, a website dedicated to reviews and news regarding iPhone and iPod Touch applications, just came out with their 148 All Time Top iPhone Apps, and we're extremely excited! Why?

Why Word Warp Xtreme is a NEW application!

Just to let you know, Word Warp Xtreme is NOT just an updated version of Word Warp.  We're sure we are going to be asked that question and the answer, like in many cases, while there are some trade-offs, we thought it would be better for most of our users.

First of all, remember, the existing Word Warp game that users currently have, will continue to function normally and users can still continue to play it if they choose.  However, if they want to take advantage of the new features that we've been talking about the past week or so, they are going to need to download the application we've been featuring, Word Warp Xtreme.

FAQs on Word Warp Part III

 Our last set of responses for Word Warp deal with probably the biggest complaint about the application, the issue of where we get the words in Word Warp.

Now the thing that confuses me to a great extent is that from talking to a large number of Word Warp players, reading over reviews and then also reading the comments from the App Store, I have concluded that there are two types of Word Warp players:  those who are extremely happy with the game and can't find much to complain with, and those who vehemently question the authenticity of the words used in Word Warp.

FAQs on Word Warp Part II

Continuing on our series of responding to comments made about our Word Warp application in the App Store, here are some more responses.

FAQS on Word Warp Part I

Hello all,

So you guys might remember a couple weeks ago where we took a couple days to respond to some of the Solitaire comments our fans wrote in on our App Store page.  This week, we decided to tackle on one of our popular applications, Word Warp, a game that posses a gigantic fan base but also its share of questions and concerns.

Suggestions for Word Warp???

Word Warp is one of our most popular applications and we’re always looking for ways to improve it.  As you may know, we love getting customer feedback and seeing what everybody has to say about our games.

Recently, we’ve been tossing around some ideas around here at MobilityWare, just seeing what we can come up with in addition to our already planned BIG changes.  Rather than limiting the ideas to ourselves, we wanted to explicitly include you – our customers.  So here’s your chance – we’re asking what suggestions YOU guys may have to help improve Word Warp.  They don’t have to be revolutionary.  They can be things as minor as the wording on a screen to as big as a new feature that would get hundreds of people playing all night.

Send your ideas over to us at Marketing@MobilityWare.com or post them in the comments.   Obviously, the sooner the better.  We welcome all suggestions. Look forward to hearing from you!!

Quick Update on Word Warp

 Hey just a quick update here, so over the weekend I was checking out some of the tweets about Word Warp and it gets me every time.  It’s great to hear from you guys. We can’t thank you enough for your support!

Now about Word Warp, we love when you guys talk about how addicting it is and how you can’t put it down.  Well let me be the first to tell you that we have some pretty BIG ideas concerning Word Warp cooking over here at MobilityWare!  Everything is in pre-production and tentative right now and I swore not to give any details away, but I am literally wowed by the stuff that is being discussed in meetings.  You guys are going to be blown away!

Anyways, thank you all for all your support.  I promise I’ll fill you guys in the first chance I get.  Until then, keep Word Warping!

A feel good story about Word Warp

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!

We're Back!

Hey guys, sorry about the brief respite, we’ve been so busy this week working on projects and trying to improve our existing products. It’s been a long week but we’re alive and well!!

Anyway, we got a chance to look over our first MobilityWare poll in which we asked what people’s high scores were on our Word Warp game. First, thank you so much to all those who voted! It’s interesting to see such a broad range of scores, but we know you all love Word Warp and we can’t thank you guys enough for that!

Second, in an earlier post, we talked about how popular Word Warp is in the Twitter-universe (twitter-verse?) and how every day, we see tweets from people talking about how good they think their Word Warp score is. Well, now that we see there are people claiming they have scores above 50,000, perhaps we should have a Word Warp tournament to see if people can back that up? Or how about a featured Word Warp showcase? We’ll have to think to see if we could institute something like that.

In the mean time while we deliberate, take a look at one of our Word Warp fans @canadapost who has one of the most unbelievable Word Warp scores we have ever seen. You can find his score here

Keep playing Word Warp guys! Talk to you soon!

Our first poll is dedicated to the Word Warp faithful. You guys constantly tweet, comment, and talk about how high your Word Warp high score is. Well now's your chance to let yourself be heard!

MobilityWare in CNN Money!

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!

Do you have any funny stories about Word Warp? Did you play it so much you missed an appointment? Do you feel like you have the best Word Warp high score around and you wish there was a way to brag about it? Or what do you think we should include in our next version of Word Warp? Is it a certain word that Word Warp didn’t recognize when you were playing, thus ruining your high score?

We know you guys have all these ideas, so here is your exclusive chance to fire away, to share with us your stories, to let us in on your frustration, to express your gripes, moans, and groans.

Well my fellow Word Warper, there are a number of ways you can get in contact with us. You can either post a comment on the blog, or you can write on our wall on the Word Warp Facebook Page, or tweet about it on our MobilityWare Twitter page (making sure you mention Word Warp or @MobilityWare in your message), or if you have a longer message to give us, shoot us an email at Marketing@MobilityWare.com. We monitor all three of these networks quite extensively so you won’t have to worry about your message falling through the cracks because we will be reading them (and we might even respond too!).

Interesting Tidbit

So while looking up people’s thoughts and feelings about some of our games (list can be found here) on Twitter, Facebook and the App Store, we here at MobilityWare were in awe by how many comments revolved around a certain topic, people’s Word Warp high score. After sorting through dozens and dozens of messages/comments/tweets by people stating they had a great Word Warp high score, or that they had just broken their old unbeatable Word Warp record, all these claims got us thinking. Why don’t we have a place where people can compare scores and actually see who really does have the best Word Warp score? A friendly contest perhaps? How about a weekly submission type of thing? Would you guys be interested in something like that? Let us know! Keep posting about Word Warp; we try and read everybody’s stories/claims.

You can follow us on twitter @MobilityWare and become a fan of us on facebook here. Feel free to send us a message, we love hearing from you guys!

Anyway, to everybody who has participated so far in the Word Warp Frenzy, THANK YOU! Things are looking good so far and we’re ecstatic with all the love people are showing for Word Warp. Tell all your friends!

If you haven’t already entered, do it now! The whole process takes just seconds; our fellow Word Warp fans will attest to that. Here are instructions with pictures that show you exactly what to do.

Talk to you guys soon
