A recent study by AdMob found that 46 percent of iPhone users choose applications based on word-of-mouth recommendations from their friends. Yet most iPhone game developers have no way to reach their fans directly to encourage word-of-mouth buzz or even to announce new titles.

PlayHaven Community Platform does what the iPhone App Store does not to help – create a connection between game developers and their fans. Developers can now rely on their passionate fans to be the rocket fuel that grows the popularity of their existing games and bolsters the fast rise and ultimate success of new ones they launch.
