Thoughts on Habbo for iPad?

[broges]

What are your thoughts on 'Habbo for iPad' ? I think it might boost up their business a bit and that it is a good idea. You?

I think that this is an excellent move by Sulake. Habbo's target users are teens, and apps, especially on iOS, was the way to go. All they need now is word of mouth, and I think we'll be seeing a sprawl of new users on Habbo. Pretty excited myself, even though I stopped playing official Habbo years ago.

I agree.

I didn't expect this big "hype" via their Twitter to be an app for Habbo at all, although in my opinion it'd be useful for things like long journeys and things like that.

It will a few weeks after the IOS Version has launched. Autumn.

They'll gain more users most likely. It's a good idea lol.

Releasing Habbo on Tablets, is a good way to gain more users / customers. But i dont think it will become better than the desktop version. This will bring revenue anyway.

You can play habbo on an android using Phantom Browser

I disagree. More kids play apps than web games. Habbo has realized this, and they acted accordingly by releasing this app. I'm positive their focus is on mobile now, and you'll see that in the coming days/weeks/months/years. With that being said, you can expect the iOS version to surpass the web version in the near future - just because most of their new users will be playing on iPad, not the web

I think it's good for long journey's, and whilst your in-bed or something.

I will have to agree on that, This was a successful move by Sulake, But i wouldn't expect the iOS Version surpassing the web version. Maybe I am wrong, but lets see in the future. The community on Habbo was in decline, but with the iPad this will flow a huge user population on the site, more advance stuff then we can see now. The only thing which would bring alot of revenue is Habbo server's Just like Minecraft concept so they would gain revenue and more users.

I think it was a great idea by sulake to make a habbo version for ipad, it will easily gain them more reputation and users. I hope to see more of this moves from sulake.

You have to remember that the reason for gambling stopping on Habbo is due to the iPad app. If you place more than 10 dice in a room they no longer role because gambling is banned. The reason for it is if they put Habbo on the app store (with gambling on) it would be set as 18+ by iTunes but Habbo doesn't want to be "portrayed" that way.

So it's kind of a really big downside.

Cool man!

I think it has changed many life's, More kids are getting iPads and Tablets now instead of Laptop's and Desktop's, I think Sulake have realised this and that's why they are starting to do this.

Could help boost it a bit, Habbo has died quite a lot from what it used to be with like 15k+ online to like 3k+ now

 

[Whip]

Probs the smartest thing habbo has done in a while it will boost users definitely i think it's a great idea.
