Snag Wars Version 2.0 Available


As a downloader of Snag Wars we thank you all for trying it out and sending feedback. The success of our first version and the trial games has spurred us on to create Snag Wars version 2.0. We've listened and have improved the game play with many new features:

1. Team Games. You can now play for your favourite team or organization. Get your friends/colleagues together and go beat the opposition.

2. Faster game play. The map downloads faster to your device and once downloaded they show up fast every time.

3. Switching between games. No need to exit the app to move between games.

4. Update your password and display name from your handset. You can also upload a profile photo to be displayed on your snag square. No need to see the "SW" anymore. Personalize it your way.

5. Queued and provisional snags. If you are in an area of bad or spotty connectivity it can be frustrating that your phone knows that you are there but your snag can't be sent to the server. Well now we automatically store these snags and post them to the server when you are back in a connected area. You'll never lose a snag again.

6. Faster starting app. We only update the game table when it changes. Result = faster start-up for you.

7. Double tap any square to see who snagged it, for what team, and when. You can also see the photo they uploaded to that square.

8. Treasure hunt! Yup, we will be running some treasure hunt games where secret squares can be marked with prizes or booby traps.

We hope that you will enjoy this new version as much as we have enjoyed creating it. It doesn't stop here though. We are already working on version 3.0. If you have requests send them in via the web site.

A new batch of games will be coming so look out for the upgrade to participate fully.

If you have an idea for a game, let us know at info@snagwars.com

Happy Snagging!

The Snag Wars Team
