Should You Get Apps from Independent App Stores?
The short answer is no. Independent app stores are not the best places to download apps. This is because these apps are mostly provided by third parties who do not adhere to the set safety standards. Your phone may be exposed to viruses and malware after you download and install these apps. Punters should always get all their apps from trusted iOS and Android apps, namely Google Play Store and Apple Play.
What are the Perks and Limitations of Browser-Based Apps?
The Perks
- You get to enjoy the same experience on the phone as on the desktop.
- You don’t have to maintain or update the app, as the operator does everything.
- You always use the latest version when you log in to your account.
The Limitations
- This app is completely reliant on an internet connection.
- It depends entirely on the website; thus, a crush on the site leads to a crash in the browser-based app.
