<h3>Gibberish Text explained</h3>
<p>You probably reached this page because a friend sent you a text
message with this URL and a bunch of gibberish.</p>
<p>Well, that gibberish was meant for an Android app called <a
href="http://xwords.sf.net/android.php">Crosswords</a>, and your
friend hoped you had it installed, <a href="#kitkat">were not
running Android KitKat</a>, and would want to play. If you like,
<span style="color:red">
AND YOU HAVE AN UNLIMITED TEXT MESSAGING PLAN,
</span>
you can download it via the button below. It's free (costs you neither
money nor time with annoying advertising) and open-source -- and
besides, your friend is recommending it. :-)</p>
<div>
<form method="get" action="http://eehouse.org/market_redir.php">
<input type="submit" value="Install Crosswords via Google Play"/>
</form>
</div>
<p>(If you don't have access to the Google Play store from your
device you can
instead <a href="http://eehouse.org/sms_latest.apk">download
Crosswords directly</a>.)
</p>
<p style="color:red"> Do not play Crosswords via SMS unless you
have an unlimited Text Messaging plan with your cellular carrier.
When communicating via SMS Crosswords can send and receive 50-100
messages in the course of a single game. If each one costs you 25 or
50 cents -- well, do the math.</p>
<p>If you don&apos;t have an unlimited texting plan, you can
still <a href="http://eehouse.org/market_redir.php">install
Crosswords</a> and play with your friend over the internet. Just
don't enable the SMS feature. (And don't worry: that's impossible
to do accidentally.)</p>
<h4><a name="kitkat">What's the deal with KitKat and play via
SMS?</a></h4>
<p>With KitKat, Google made a bunch of changes to how SMS is sent
and received. Among them they removed the ability of an app like
Crosswords to prevent custom-formatted (i.e. gibberish) messages
from showing up in your inbox. Until I work around these changes
the feature is disabled on KitKat.</p>
