Although it says, "Use on Any Device",it is of no use to anyone who hasn't got, doesn't want or need a smart phone, (and there will be many who have just a mobile phone that only does calls and texts), as you need to  download an app, surely an ordinary mobile phone is "a device".

No a device is a portable, wireless computing device that is small enough to be used while held in the hand. Eg  Smartphones,Tablet,etc etc.
