About NANOO

1. Service Introduction

What is NANOO?

NANOO is a web-based solution that integrates and operates your mobile game’s official homepage, community and support center.

Main Features

NANOO enables multi-platform operation of homepage, community and support center optimized for mobile users. Sync announcements and events created in NANOO to the game. Post authenticated official score achievements in NANOO. NANOO has initial global service support in 5 languages - English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean with all service for free.

Using It

NANOO makes live service possible with style and efficiency. This translates to keeping up user retention rate and number of daily active users (DAU), with increased revenue and life time value (LTV) of the game.

2. Important

To make NANOO community effectively more active, insert in-game community links. Links to the community should be placed on the uppermost level where it’s most visible enabling frequent user visits, such as the game’s main screen. Number of active community users decrease by more than half if links are placed on a lower level, such as in settings menu.
