SPYR Enters Multi-Billion Dollar Mobile Games & Apps Market

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - March 31, 2015) - SPYR, INC. (OTCQB: SPYR), a holding company with wholly owned subsidiaries in the digital publishing and advertising industries and in the food service industry, today announced that it has formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, SPYR APPS, LLC.

James R. Thompson, the Company's CEO & President commented: "We formed SPYR APPS for the purpose of expanding our digital media presence into the multi-billion dollar mobile app industry.  We are very excited about entering the mobile games and applications space because it gives us the opportunity to continue to grow SPYR's portfolio of digital media holdings while entering a market that presents an opportunity and potential for a great deal of growth."

The mobile apps industry is expected to grow 16.5 percent in 2015 according to a February 18, 2015, article from eMarketer.com, with mobile games accounting for over 30 percent of the U.S. mobile content market in 2015.

The mobile games and applications market offers SPYR significant opportunities and upside potential.  Other mobile games and applications companies have realized rapid growth and success, together with significant market capitalization valuations.  SPYR APPS aspires to achieve similar growth, success and valuation.
