Mobile Apps Vs. Disposable Apps

Mobile Aps are what you traditionally download from the App Store or Google Play and install on your mobile device.

The installation process itself involves validation of your phone’s operating system and version, security and privacy settings, disk space available, and much more. This is just to get the app installed. Maintenance and updates have their own set of challenges.

Disposable Apps are our answer to getting out of this mess. You don’t “install” them on your phone, so there are no installation requirements, no operating system limitations, no disk space restrictions, and no privacy or safety challenges. Above all, you only use them when needed and you “dispose” of them by closing them. All you are “installing” is a shortcut on your phone and a shell to run the application. Once you’re done, close the window and the app is gone. Your information is saved on the server, if you so choose, but your device storage is not impacted.

Sounds slick?
