> Customers don't even want to download more apps, let alone pay money for them.

Interestingly, I found myself thinking about this and thought about it a little different. I indeed want to have as little apps on my phone as possible, but that made me want to increase the quality of those apps. And thus I wasn't against paying for those if they are indeed better quality.

It's like with cooking. If your dish uses less ingredients, you can focus on better quality ingredients then.




The problem is almost all apps are just a wrapped webpage anyway - I want apps that keep working (to the best of their ability) offline, which very VERY few do. Kindle and HERE maps are some of the ones I can think of.


Apps should fill some kind of utility for the user. Once I have my utilities covered, why would I want to get something else that does the same thing?

So, once I have my needs covered, I have very little desire to go hunting for something new.
