Unique Issues and Considerations in App Design for Mobiles that are not Applicable When Designing for Laptops and Deskto

Author: Anurag Kashyap, Sujay Mishra

Abstract: Development of apps for mobile has many similarities with development of apps for other platforms. However, the differences are so unique that developers must draw their attention to them, as the traditional development platforms don’t present them at all. For example, mobile or other handheld devices are not run on the same operating systems, the mobile screens have limited power supply, a smaller screen, and environmental sensors that are not seen in laptop and desktop computers. In this paper, apart from the differences between laptops and mobile design, the differences between iOS and Android machines that have an impact on app design are also discussed.
