​​​Bingo on Iphone
​From the moment major online bingo providers started the transition to mobile gaming, it seemed that their primary focus was to get to their iPhone apps up and running first.

​However, based on recent market trends, it would have been more sensible for those companies to put their resources into the development of their application for the Android platform.  As of Q12013, the iPhone user base only constituted around 18% of global smartphone users.  Alongside these app developments, most of the major bingo providers have, or are now launching apps for the iPad platform, too.  However, this still seems to be in the development pipeline for most bingo brands.  There is significant value in the tablet platform as it acts as a sort of middle ground between mobile devices and desktop computing.  Players can benefit from the portability of the device while also enjoying the larger screen size.

 

Major Bingo sites

​
Most of the bigger market players have a full range of compatible apps on offer already.  Gala Bingo was one of the earliest sites to make the move to mobile bingo gaming.  Their platform is already compatible with the iPhone, iPad (1, 2 and 3), iPad Miniand iPod Touch.The process of downloading the application is made really simple and users are given various options of how they want to do it:
• There is a QR code which can be scanned on the desktop website to link to the app
• Players can visit the Gala Bingo page on the mobile device
• It can be currently found in the app store

​Exclusively on iPhone

​
Towards the end of 2012, and the start of 2013, there were many mobile bingo platforms which were only available on iOS devices.  However, as time has passed, a number of online bingo providers are now offering something for everyone.  One of the sitesthat is running behind the rest and is still waiting on the completion of its Android device is 888ladies.  At the moment, this mobile Joy of Bingo site can exclusively be enjoyed by iPhone users.  It can be assumed that it is the online bingo site’s top priority to get its other platforms launched as soon as possible.  If their existing Android-using customers decide they want to get involved with mobile bingo gaming,which 888ladies cannot yet provide,they could quite easier end up going elsewhere.
