Title: How Pokémon Go could be the killer app the Apple Watch needs Post by: HCK on July 16, 2016, 04:05:13 pm How Pokémon Go could be the killer app the Apple Watch needs
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Pokémon Go (http://www.macworld.com/article/3089968/software-games/hands-on-with-pokmon-go-catch-em-all-by-exploring-the-real-world.html) is a unique phenomenon (http://www.macworld.com/article/3092969/mobile/gotta-catch-em-all-5-facts-that-prove-pokmon-go-is-eating-the-world.html). We’ve seen flash-in-the-pan app releases before, but the excitement usually fizzles out in a day or two. Pokémon Go has been out just over a week now, and it already has more daily active users than Tinder, is rivaling Twitter’s sizable ranks, and has made an $7.5 billion impact on Nintendo’s stock.</p><p>As an app, Pokémon Go isn’t all that impressive. In fact, I’m willing to bet that if you took Nintendo and Pokémon out of the equation (http://www.macworld.com/article/2453742/augmented-reality-game-ingress-makes-the-jump-to-ios.html) it would barely make a dent in the App Store. But thanks to Pikachu and Co., millions of users are willing to overlook the crude interface and repetitive gameplay as they wander their neighborhoods trying to round up as many creatures as they can.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3095497/ios/how-pok-mon-go-could-be-the-killer-app-the-apple-watch-needs.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: How Pokémon Go could be the killer app the Apple Watch needs (http://www.macworld.com/article/3095497/ios/how-pok-mon-go-could-be-the-killer-app-the-apple-watch-needs.html#tk.rss_all) |
