Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Mobile app shows identical experience to mobile website (no mobile-specific features).
- No leverage of mobile capabilities (location, camera, push, offline).
- Generic experience doesn't adapt to on-the-go mobile context.
- Users get desktop website squeezed into mobile screen.
5. Limited differentiation incentivizes app download (15-25% app adoption).
