•
Web apps – remote apps not required to be
installed on the device,
e.g. mobile web pages.
•
Hybrid apps – cross-platform-compatible scripting that can be installed on
a device.
A2 Context of mobile apps
The features, purpose and context of mobile apps impact on their design, development
and use, including:
•
locale, e.g. maps
•
utility, e.g. file manager
•
productivity, e.g.
office
•
immersive full screen, e.g. games
•
entertainment, e.g. music players
•
widgets, e.g. news ticker, quick device settings.
A3 Mobile device integration
Characteristics and implications of integrating mobile app services on different
mobile devices.
•
Using device functions, e.g. accelerometer, global positioning system (GPS).
•
User interface, e.g. small screen, touch screen.
•
Operating system, e.g. Android, iOS
®
.
•
Device permissions, e.g. read phone status, network access, read contacts.
