There is an increasingly likely chance, that we will have a "Similar Worlds App" available on App Stores fairly soon.

We would however, like to receive some final feedback, with regards to demand and usage, across certain categories of users.

More specifically, Android and iPhone smartphone users.

Why an App for Android & iOS makes more sense. Excuse my terrible grammar.

1. [b]Ease of use[/b]. Easy access. On the go experience while staying always connected.

2. [b]Enhanced user experience[/b] by utilizing notifications, messaging, [b]in-app purchase ease of use. [/b] Operating system built in features can enhance the user experience.

3. [b]Battery life savings for better user satisfaction[/b]. Using cellular data on a mobile browser vs an app while on the go will drain battery far too much vs using the app.

4. [b]Dark mode[/b]. Many users have been begging for dark mode. With iOS 13+ and android 10+ with embedded dark mode in the system software, it becomes easier to add to the app.

5. [b]Speedier experience[/b], it is likely things will load faster as an app vs web browser.

6. Broader range of users by [b]utilizing the accessibility features for those impaired.[/b] iOS and Android come with their own accessibility features that can be utilizing on the mobile experience.

7. A more personal experience. With the security features provided by iOS and Android, users are more likely to engaged with similar world without having to worry too much about [b]privacy[/b]. Specially when iOS and Android are pushing for stricter privacy experiences.

8. More likely to have an interesting experience none boring. It will become easier to post photos, more personal topics and stories.

9. More features for vip users bringing in more cash.

10. An App will reach out to a larger audience. Again, more likely to bring in more money. Also, more likely to better the purpose of this site.

11. 😠 many have been asking for an app since day one but many have adjusted to the site because we had no other choice

12. Are you kidding me? An app would be a smart business move?

13. Connectivity.

14. With Apple’s new silicone chips for their laptops coming as early as October or November. They’ve introduced a developer feature to allow an app to basically be copy pasted into their laptop interface from their iPad/iPhone interface without any issues. With Apple pushing to make their own chips for their laptops, many other companies will follow. Many people use chrome vs native browsers and that eats battery. Native apps for laptops will eat less battery.
