		<description>As a player of Slides SPP since March of &#039;08.   This is my assessment of Slide&#039;s SuperPoke! Pets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Since I this App they have been pushing new game improvements...and none seem to work right.  Their servers cannot handle the load they are pushing on them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know the company is global but I can also see how they can be worth $500 million.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The app is appealing to the home bound, disabled and various stay at home groups all over the age of 18. Slide has made a point of no under 18 of age users, choosing to remove that under age persons account. So Slide is targeting  the older ages with money to spend. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The app offers the choice to play for coins or you can spend cash for virtual over priced goods.  The over priced goods are animated and very appealing  when compared to the coin items offered.  Playing since March I have seen an increase in gold 100 fold.  For example $25 dollars payable by paypal, visa, e.t.c. you get 250 coins no extra or deal. They store your information and it is unsecured. Currently there is a trend in phishing (and some are key-stroking players computers)  to steel a players gold vial the My Space training sessions&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SPP is pushing users to have multiple accounts for storage and to run training programs.  Training is run through My Space or Facebook to boost the coins earned by the trainer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Customer Service is nonexistent and when you do finally get a reply it blames the member.  Reps are not available weekends or nights so it leaves the consumer with a bad feeling.  Since they are dealing with a global market there should be a rep available at all times.  Slide&#039;s SPP app has volunteers trying to deal with concerns and major issues then passing those issues on to a rep who never contacts the player.  Not good business.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If any company is interested in any of these apps they should have their staff join and play for a while to see their short comings before investing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Speaking again as a player this app is lacking lately and needs Major improvements. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am currently and unemployed person looking for work playing this app to pass the time. When I have registered a complaint about slowness of the app during play I was told it was my computer, I did a lot of tech work as part of my last job it is not my computer it is Slide&#039;s SPP.</description>
