I am a free bird. I have a simple mobile that does not even have a camera. My mobile therefore cannot download Apps nor am I going to upgrade just so that I can add those memory eating Apps. I am told they eat into your batteries as well.

What about you? What is your take on the usefulness of Apps.

[Tendz]

I have a few apps on my phone. Unless, there is a need to keep an app, I'm not much of a fan of them. And, I don't like the inbuilt apps on mobiles that I can't delete. These apps use a lot of space on mobiles like you said.

Every bank, every hospital and every online shopping site urge users to download their Apps. There could be more categories. A time will come users will soon realise the menace these Apps cause.

I'm basically an appless old guy myself. I don't even like the word. I use my phone to make calls and once in awhile do text messages (which I also do not like to do) but the rest does not interest me.

I hate it when my phone turns itself on in my pocket and all sorts of things just activate themselves. In fact, I am more likely to go out and leave the dang thing laying on my desk at home just to avoid the hassles.

I was talking (yes, face to face actually speaking to each other) with a lady friend who was going on and on about all the apps she has. We got into a discussion about all the things she could do with her phone, and I finally thought I would cut her off by saying, "well, you can't have sex with it."

She responded with "Oh, yea? Check this out!"

She pushed some button and handed me the phone. It was vibrating.

I agree, bestwriter. Why can't these brands just invite us to their websites instead of heavy apps. I would prefer websites more than apps.

Vibrating alerts could give people ideas

I really do not know what's up with these manufacturers that keep offering upgrades with features users will not use. There was one with 4 cameras. People just take selfies and I am sure they will be deleted the next moment.

I am doing fine ordering stuff online without Apps. I am doing fine with my banks without Apps..................

I have some apps but like Tendz I hate the inbuilt apps that you can't delete. I use my banking app the most to keep a check on my finances and I wouldn't like to be without that.

My banks keep posting updates practically every day and also send me an E statement once a month.

I have a very basic phone, I got it mainly for in case of emergencies when Im in the car. I text with it to a couple people, and make a couple calls a month, but it doesnt have the ability for aps.

[ahmedo24]

I deal more on mobile and there are certain apps that are important to me, so I use few apps that are necessary

[arunima]

I have a bare minimal of these apps on my phone that I use on regular basis. Some for booking cab and ordering my groceries etc. I do not download too many of them. I have few of them that I need to make my life easier.

You are indeed wise. Everyone rushes to upgrade their devices without even waiting to see how that helps them Most of the time they are time consuming with features that hardly help anyone

Could you kindly explain in what way they help so that we who do not believe in Apps can benefit from that info Thanks

I do shopping online and without a hassle. I wonder what is it that Apps do that just visiting websites do not do
