I know plenty of parents will let their kids play with their cell phone to kill time, but it's a whole other matter to let their kids essentially hog it all to themselves for several hours.Good point. And wouldn't it require usage of your often-limited mobile data and such too? That is not okay!
On another phone-app-related point, if it HAS to be an app -- and it doesn't, there is no actual reason for this besides that Nintendo remains clueless about how to do competent internet policy -- while I don't own a cellphone I do have a Windows tablet which would be just fine for this, if Nintendo had released a PC or Windows Store version of the app instead of only Android and iOS... but no, of course not.
