90% of smart phone apps are never downloaded. That's right, the iPhone / iPad store has more than 700 thousand apps available but only 10% get downloaded to someone's phone / tablet. In 2013, there were more than 30,000 iPad apps available in the education category. At 20 listing per screen .... you do the math.
So you are sure your business needs a mobile app?
Maybe you do need a mobile app or maybe you need a mobile website? It's becoming more obvious that a mobile app and a mobile website are two different products.
A mobile app only works on a particular kind of mobile phone. The problem, there are 5 mobile platforms in the market. Who do you ignore?
A mobile website works on any device that has a browser: phone / tablet / laptop / desktop. The problem, the browser may not be able to use the unique features of a particular phone. Another problem, some phones are "smart phones" while others are "feature phones".
