8. Disadvantages of
Mobile App
Apps need to be downloaded and
updated - not as simple as using the
mobile web
Content is easily shared from mobile
websites - people love to share with
friends
Limited storage on mobile so you
cannot have an infinite amount of
apps
Apps often freeze or crash - not good for
customer retention
