Desktop - Mobile apps

[Former Member]

Hi,

Building an app, can be accessed from both desktop and mobile.

What is the best practice,

1. Do we build a separate app one for desktop and mobile.

2. Single app and control rendering on different devices by CSS.

3. Do we embed code in the app basing on device.

Appreciate your inputs on designing apps running on multiple devices.

Regards

Sri, I concur with Maksim response 1) no 2) yes - use responsive design 3) it will depend on your functionality. if you need native functionality from the device then yes, otherwise you do not need to embed any device specific functionality hope this helps

I would say that it is difficult to provide inputs unless we know more about the apps. The apps may be able to display more things on desktop and has limited features on the mobile. One app may work however, it is not optimized for desktop nor for mobile devices.

my 2 cents worth
