But I think for non technical people, apps are main way to use mobile devices. For example, I got married recently. My wife is a doctor. She uses iPad for personal computing. She tries to find the app for everything she wants to do on her iPad. In fact she uses Google app on her iPad a lot. Want to search something, start the Google app. I was surprised to see this. I tried to tell her that she can search straight from her Chrome browser. But I think it's matter of habit for her now and still prefers to use the Google App for search.
I'd fear I'd have a whole heap of apps, and have no idea what they are or how to get to them.
In some ways it's the same with websites! I guess I could tag them or add them to a bookmark folder or something.
I spoke to a family member and he says to me I've got this bus app for route X. And I say what, you've got an app for your local bus route, and he says yes. I then asked what was wrong with the website?
Me too. BTW I think I'd be fine if the apps just downloaded themselves (assuming they're vetted and signed by the app store), and without occupying space on my phone-top (or whatever its called). I don't really need to know the difference between an app and the browser - for as long as it does its thing.
