Do You Really Need an App for That?

I wish more people would seriously look at this issue instead of just jumping on the bandwagon of apps. That’s partly because I am always sceptical and cynical about any bandwagon, and the rush for apps is exactly the kind of thing I despair of because I really don’t see the point of a lot of apps … and it’s partly because as a Windows Phone user, most apps are unavailable to me even if I wanted them.

I would much rather see businesses focus on developing really good websites that work for all users, whether on PCs, tablets, smartphones or feature phones, rather than developing vanity apps that don’t add value for the people that can have them, and mean that people who can’t are left out in the cold.
