Users of Google+ look to get in onthe social connection ’s gaming actionnow have an choice to toy while they ’re not in front of their computers.iSwifter , an iPad app which already admit users to recreate Facebook ’s most popular Flash games , has added the power to play biz host on Google ’s social - networking service .
The barren app , created byYouWeb Incubator , works bystreaming Flash - base practical software from the Web to an iPad . It manages this by running a game on the company ’s own “ low - cost ” servers , and then streaming an iOS - compatible version to the gadget .
With the elision of Angry Birds , all of the game on Google+ are available to play on iSwifter . ( Though it ’s not as though users of Apple ’s tablet are really hurting for a fortune to represent the birds vs. Sus scrofa blockbuster . ) But it ’s also deserving noting that , of the 16 games presently available on Google+ , three already have apps specifically design for the iPad , including Angry Birds and Zynga Poker ; the majority also have readily usable iPhone apps , which can track down on the iPad , albeit not in an ideal fashion .
By adding Google+ compatibility , though , YouWeb has broadened the app ’s likely userbase beyond just Facebook . It also potentially let developer knock into the lucrative iOS market without having to re - develop the software program for the platform .
And it ’s potential that there will , at some point , be Google+ games that are n’t available for iOS . We ’ve already seen publishers side - stepping the App Store to make Web apps ; it ’s no stretch of the imagination to see game developers making the same pick . In cases like those , solutions like iSwifter will give iPad owner an option to twist to if there are title that ca n’t be found on Apple ’s digital store ledge .
But , view the challenges associate with streaming content ( such as the requirement for a meshwork connection ) and the popularity of iOS as a gaming platform , it ’s clear that iSwifter ’s work is cut out for it .
Still , for those interested in games beyond those regard disorder avians , the addition of Google+ is useful . iSwifter also offers extra Web - browsing capabilities , such as the ability to visit other Flash - enabled land site , for an additional in - app purchase . iSwifter 4.1 is usable in the App Store for download now and postulate an iPad running Io 3.2 or later .
