The pros of using the mobile apps for meeting are a lot. It could provide the location-based services and push messaging. Using the mobile apps is not wholly dependent on a Wi-Fi connection. It makes possible to obtain a large delegate list and content without downloading because those are already on the app. Additionally, security and privacy are also much better with an app. On the contrary, mobile websites can be advantageous because they need fewer resources to develop that differs from mobile apps. The mobile websites are easier because there's no writing code for different operating systems such as iOS, Android and Win- dows Phone. For a website, the coding is done once, and users don't have to wait and download it; it just happens automatically. For smaller properties,having a mobile app wouldn't be as useful as trying to communicate with a large group of people. It could benefits more on the large size of groups.
