Do I need the app 📳?  (Back to Top)

App Advantages ✔

  • Can provide functionality when not connected to the Internet
  • Can provide additional functionality to that found on the website

App Disadvantages ❌

  • Installations can be large (storage, data)
  • Many sites are mobile optimised anyway, so can be just as good to visit the website on your phone. You can add shortcuts to sites on your phone screen
