Mobile Bingo Apps: All You Need to Consider

What Do the Best Mobile Sites Offer?

Plenty of bingo operators out there promise an outstanding smartphone and tablet fun. How many tell the truth, actually? I have been on bingo sites that promote their platform, but when I tried to join them on my Android, it turned out they didn’t hold true to their promise. Features were missing, services were not as high-quality as declared. I admit that it is a huge task to test all your selected brands one by one. We’ve tried and made it easier for you. Look at the check-list below and make sure the site you choose makes clear statements with regard to the points.

Games re the most important characteristic in a bingo brand. We choose by their variety mainly. There are other factors which influence us, it’s true, but what we can play remain our top consideration. The problem with some bingo operators is that they haven’t developed all of their games for portable devices. That way, no matter what amazing titles you can enjoy on their desktop sites, when you visit them on your phone, you may not find your favourite ones. Other operators offer just slots. As great as they can be, that is not the stuff which makes players pick their brand. Actually, it can be really disappointing when you finally get your chosen brand on your iPad or Android and find out it doesn’t feature bingo. We make sure the sites we review have equally good offers for your desktop and your handset. In case they don’t, you will know.

Bonuses are another characteristic due to which people prefer a particular bingo brand over another. In this respect, mobile sites are not much different from their desktop counterparts. If a brand has a good online bonus, it will most probably be valid for smartphone users, as well. The extra feature comes when the operator launches some exclusive bonus offer that is only good on the go. There are such cases, although not so often. Every time we evaluate a site, we will inform you of any special deals. Besides the welcome bonuses, promotions that are made for players on the move are also of great interest to us. Our articles contain that information, too.

Software compatibility sounds extraterrestrial until the moment you buy a Blackberry or a new Windows phone. It is very likely that you find out the site which assured you in many words that it is good on all devices, and all operating systems won’t open in your device browser. I have met brands which do open and even let you join them, but if you want to play, you need to visit their desktop or choose a different OS. The good bingo sites develop their games and promotions for different systems and various devices. Some require you to play in landscape mode only, and others look unfriendly on smaller screens, but still, they extend the offering. Of course, we don’t expect people to choose their devices according to the availability of mobile bingo apps, but our reviews will notify you of all things to consider in this respect.

Banking options are of great importance when playing on the go, because without the possibility to fund your account, you can’t play all the games you want and that will spoil the good things about playing on portable devices. That is the reason why most operators accept various payments in their apps. It is another matter whether all the methods are available, though that is usually so. As far as withdrawals go, not all offer them. With regard to banking history, the case is similar: many operators invite you to visit their websites for the full details. Yet, checking your history is not crucial in relation to playing. Websites try to offer light versions so that players may enjoy them unencumbered. They leave history and less necessary features aside.

What to Look for When You Download Bingo Apps?

A lot of bingo operators don’t offer native apps at all. They develop their smartphone and tablet offering in HTML5 and it is good on all OS, given you’re using some of the latest versions. Although it looks like the “lower-quality” thing, web applications, as these are known, have definite advantages over native ones. In brief, don’t worry that you will need to download large program packages that can slow down your device and will eat up its memory. Even when a website offers a native app, players are usually given to choose whether to take advantage of it, or play in the browser.

When you download apps, on the other hand, there are some of things you need to consider. Here, we offer a short list of them and an explanation why they are important:

• Size (MB): Some apps are so large that downloading them will take forever and if you’re doing it through your data transfer service, that may bring about additional costs on your phone bill. Of course, if you do it over wi-fi, costs are not incurred. But, still, an app of a large size will use up more of your handset memory and may affect its overall performance.
• Permissions of Access: Applications usually need access to various features of your handset. Some need your phone or tablet ID, or access to the calls you make or your camera. Other apps need different information. The general rule in this case is that the fewer permissions an app needs, the better. Protecting the security and privacy of your device is really important for you.
• The Latest Update of the Software: Always check what is the latest date of the app update. Now, there are two considerations to make here. On the one hand, if your OS version is a bit older, maybe it’s a good idea to keep an older version of the app. On the other hand, the newer the version, the better the performance.

Mobile devices are used increasingly around the world, for online business, shopping and entertainment.
