In the first 2 weeks that Mightyverse has been available in the app store, we’ve
reached 128 downloads!
Okay, that’s not 128,000, or even 1,280, but still, for our utter lack of any
promotion (not even a tweet yet), it’s pretty good.
A milestone even.
Why haven’t we promoted the Mightyverse iPhone app? Because it’s kind of dumb
actually. It’s more of an experiment than a true representation of what we want
people to experience when they use Mightyverse out in the world. What is our goal with
the current iPhone app and why are we subjecting the goodwill of our future Mightyverse
loving users to it’s paucity of functionality? Well, that’s a very good
question. At this point the version you can download and install for free today is a
subset of what we feel people need to have a useful experience of Mightyverse. The beta
users of the next version of the app have given us great reports on travels to Japan,
Italy, Russia and Europe. But the next version has some really great features the
current public version lacks. I really don’t know many ways that someone could
find a use for the current version. However….if you are excited about Mightyverse,
the app does gives you a portable experience of all of the phrases in the database, with
the current featured phraselist prominent on the homescreen. It provides us an easy way
to have a lot of different people discover our content and experience it on their
iPhones. You can look up any phrase that you know we have in the database and play it
right there on your iPhone. You can even email phrases that you find in the database to
your friends.
And most importantly, you can say:
“I’ve been using Mightyverse on my phone since the first
version, the version that really sucked!”.
We are busy working on the next version of the app which I think will be a marked
improvement in usability and just a lot more fun.
I can’t wait for you to try it out.
Has anyone had value from the current app
yet? Found a use for it?
We are
dying to hear from you.
(stay tuned for updates!)
