You tell the story of your town in many
ways:
• Oral History
• Museum/Historical Association
• Books
• Brochures
• Walking Tours
• Websites
![Page 10: Introduction to Smartphone Apps](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55966f001a28abd9748b47fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mobile digital just expands and enhances
that story and allows your visitors and
customers to add YOUR story to THEIR
story through…

Design the right Smartphone app to help:
• Your residents reach essential services
• Reach your residents during emergencies
• Encourage your residents to shop/play and engage in local activities
• Direct visitors around to your story

What is a Smartphone…and why are
apps different from websites?
Phone
PDA
GPS
Web Browser
Multi-Media
![Page 14: Introduction to Smartphone Apps](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55966f001a28abd9748b47fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Apps are:
app [ap] noun
an application, typically a small, specialized program downloaded onto mobile devices
![Page 15: Introduction to Smartphone Apps](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55966f001a28abd9748b47fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Native, Web, and Hybrid apps
The Issues Native Apps Web Apps
Internet Access Not required Required, no offline database
Installation/Updates Must be deployed or downloaded
Dependent on server and web access
User Interface Native apps are responsive and functional
Browsers can be clunky
Access to Hardware Sensors
Yes, all of them: camera, gyroscope, microphone, compass, accelerometer, GPS
Access through the browser is limited, though geolocation is common
App Store Yes No, requiring extra marketing
Security Concerns No for Apple, yes for Google (currently)
Yes, as no review is done. Virus or malware potential
![Page 16: Introduction to Smartphone Apps](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55966f001a28abd9748b47fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hybrid Apps use a native program
and database, but can be
updated via XML.
All the benefits of both.

• All users now want to run real apps on their smartphones
• Smartphones are cheaper than laptops
• They have senses (sight, hearing, touch) that laptops never had
• Smartphone users spend more time on their phones than their computers
• Good Smartphone apps are different than good web apps or good desktop apps

Watch Out For:
• Web apps masquerading as native apps. Ask "Is the data resident to the phone?"
• Charging per download, per concurrent user, per page or per use.
• Ownership of program, and data.
• Program updates, bug fixes, problems.
