Apps VS. the Mobile Web
Are the days of the app numbered?

Aumnia
The Kings of the Mobile Web

App
Mobile Web

App Design Benefits
Consumers have different browsing behaviors on a PC vs. a mobile device
Simplified usage for the consumer
Targeted “needs” based functionality
Little or no dedicated “ad space” especially for paid applications
Less graphics – More front and center functionality
Integration of GPS functionality
“What do you want to do” focus

App Design Downfalls
Requires download
Hinders branding opportunity based on URL/website
No SEO benefit
No easy way to share with others Platform dependent, so need to build for each platform separately
Cost for cross-platform deployment much more expensive
Maintenance updates require re-releases into app
