Poll: How likely are you to install phone apps?
Do you install apps on your phone, refuse to install, use phone for voice and texting, avoid tech when you can do business face to face or just don't use or own a phone? There's no wrong answer.
Just curious how generations are evolving.
- marvinphala 7mo agoI install whatever on a whim, whatever looks interesting or fun but I'll delete the second I found out it was not what I expected.
- Bender 7mo agoAdded option.
- sminchev 7mo agoThe devices have their limits. We have those devices to make our life convenient. If we don't use the apps, it does not make sense to buy expensive phones that support so many features.

- ben_w 7mo agoI increasingly avoid installing apps when I have an alternative, but it wasn't always so. Somehow I've managed to be an iOS app developer since the first retina iPod touch.
- MisterTea 7mo ago> I avoid installing apps when I can use a workstation or laptop with a bog standard web site. Or a mobile browser. Most mobile apps are mobile websites wrapped in a skinned browser with more tracking added anyway. Installing the app makes no sense.
- dlcarrier 7mo agoI use my computer to do everything whenever I can. If I only have a phone on me, I use the Lightning web browser, which has an option to use a Desktop user agent, allowing me to access the full web page. Using the full version of a web page on a phone is much faster, easier, and more convenient than downloading and installing a client, often requiring an account registration and granting privileged access to capabilities or data, all for what is almost always just a webview of the web page.
