I currently use a couple of Mobile banking apps.
Benefit - convenience e.g. being able to transfer money immediately
Risks - I'm concerned about using them except via mobile data for security reasons. In theory if I lose my phone no-one can access my bank details ... in theory!
I also use an app called Duolingo as I'm re-learning French (39 years after last studying it!).
Benefits - convenience and I get daily reminders to do my practice. I can do the practice anywhere, anytime.
Risks - not really a "risk" in the real sense but it can be buggy and the pronunciation isn't always accurate.
WhatsApp
Benefit - easy to share photos and convenient to communicate (without talking)
Risk - it's been hacked in the past.
FotMob
Benefit - keeps me up to date with the soccer scores
Risks - Depression when my team(s) keep losing
Hive
Benefit - can adjust my heating when not at home (saves money, gets house warm before I return)
Risks - none that I can think of.
There's a few others - benefits are generally convenience. I don't use unsecured apps if I need to provide any personal info.
Risk is generally that I'm never off my phone so RSI and neck aches are likely to result

I think that Android Mobile Apps have many risks than ios mobile apps.

That's a really helpful opinion, especially since you provided no supporting information.

I don't think there are any risks attached but yes over use of App would def put peace of mind at stake.

Sadaf, Many thanks for your feedback. Have you ever came across anyone having issue with Banking Apps? Also we usually ignore (including myself) to read the licensing terms of these Mobile Apps. Have you ever read them?
Now there has been speculation about all the data being tapped in to. Do you think if this is an issue with any of the Apps?
I am grateful for all your help.

know I'm dumb... really... but what am I missing here - (apart form a screw or two...)
I've never developed an app for a mobile device in my life, but every time I look into it, it seems so incredibly... complicated.
For a native app I suppose I can understand that, but there is much talk now of cross-platform "open" apps built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript as single page applications (SPA's) and then bundled up into some kind of wrapper for the various devices. This should be a simple nut to crack - but even this seems to involve a whole load of sledgehammers...
Suppose I want to build a simple app that asks you to enter your name, click a button, and it will say Hello to you.
I could write this as a simple web-page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Hello you</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<script type="text/ecmascript">
function sayHello(){
document.getElementById("ur").innerHTML = 'Hello ' + document.getElementById("txt").value;
document.getElementById("iam").style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById("youare").style.display = 'inline';
}
function goBack(){
document.getElementById("txt").value = '';
document.getElementById("iam").style.display = 'inline';
document.getElementById("youare").style.display = 'none';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="iam">
<input type="text" id="txt" style="width:200px;" maxlength="25" />
<input type="button" id="btn" value="Say hello" onclick="sayHello()" />
</div>
<div id="youare" style="display:none;">
<div id="ur"></div>
<input type="button" id="goback" value="< Back" onclick="goBack()" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
SO... my question then is: what else (avoiding sledgehammers) do I need to do to wrap this up as an open cross-platform app for smartphones? Or am I barking up the wrong tree (in the wrong forest, even)...?

Did you check Xamarin[^]? Using this, you can create native iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac apps in C#. I hope, this might help you.

Thanks - in the end I found Phonegap[^] which will serve my purpose. What I'm playing with now is trying to avoid the myriad JavaScript libraries that seem obligatory - so much of it seems like using sledgehammers to crack nuts. I'd rather write my own.
Thanks again though.

Yes, phonegap is another option to try.

Hi all, I have just joined ios development course in Toronto in Cestar College of Business, Health and Technology. In my knowledge core java is basic for these both. What is the major difference between both these courses. I mean what are the main modules included in these courses. Expecting your replies. Thank you.

You joined a course that didn't started with pointing out the different approaches of different platforms? Demand your money back! Now!
In iOS the main development is based on Objective-C or Swift (both C-like languages) and not on Java. Even in Android Java used as a language and not as a platform (means no Java libraries presented as part of the development environment).
If you want to target all (most) mobile platforms you should look for cross-platform development tools, like Xamarin Studio or Cordova...
However - I would advise you to take slow steps if this is your first time as developer...Learn basic things unrelated to platform, and then target a single platform and only then go multi-platform...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Hi Sanket,
If you are looking for a way to check how your website looks in different browsers (including mobile), checkout https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/screenshots/[^] and enter the public version of your web address.
Also, you can load your webapp in mobile browser to test it. If you don't have the required device, you can install the Visual Studio Community Edition (FREE)[^] and try directly in the emulator. Hope this helps.

Also provide method of testing.

Anything from 1 to 1,000,000,000 (dollars, pounds, euros, dinars ...), or maybe even more.
