About Swrve and its realtime feedback loop:

  • Swrve lets you test, target, and tune your game to provide a better user experience.
  • The Swrve cloud-based platform works as a feedback loop providing content owners an opportunity to understand user behavior and then tune content to provide a better user experience.
  • Game analytics tell you how your game is performing but game developers need to make changes to adapt to consumers -- Swrve automatically pushes concepts the developer wants to test to targeted segments of players, so the effect on users can be analyzed in realtime and changes can immediately be made.
  • Swrve doesn't require server or analytics gurus and there is no software to install. With easy integration and a flexible pricing model, developers can quickly deploy Swrve across iOS, Facebook, web or smart TV platforms.
