3. MOBILE APP OR MOBILE WEB?
Both of them are mobile friendly, so what’s the
different?
App must be installed first, so it will be
permanent on the phone & start “sniffing”
the phone user activities

the question
we’ll start the discussion with the “not
programming” section
make the app > distribute the app >
maintain the users base

lext challenging level
