I think, the very concept of not using any connectivity tool has a huge appeal. Especially for regions where such tools give troubles. For Mobile users, this app is really a boon. For a fast developing market of Indian subcontinent where mobile is seen in hands of every other person, Internet is still far from being reached. The Global launch of this app has made essential for other firms to follow suit, else lose a good business.

'MyPad' designed and developed by San Francisco based firm Loytr Inc., has made it a difference for the users whenever they login to their social networking accounts.
