What's the point of constantly updating mobile clients?

I estimate that for some compulsive users, the only reason they can update the app is to eliminate the numbers that represent how much software needs to be updated.

Now in this society, basically everyone has their own mobile phone, so in everyone's heart have their own set of app portfolio, as the app power referee, is not a curious thing. And the author as an ordinary mobile phone use cock silk, but is always curious, put a lot of app together for a classification, download and then delete, or because of obsessive-compulsive disorder and constantly upgrade, in this in the end have what law. Because I often observe their own operations, so I have some experience, and then produced some of the following thoughts and doubts.

App's tool attributes and interest attributes

In app, there are a lot of tools, but I think of tools as two classes, one for single tools and the other for composite tools. Single type, like Input method, I first use Sogou input method, and then use the Baidu Input method, but I am not very satisfied with the latter, so I usually only install an input method. And like music players, video player, Address Book, Security Center and so on, to say the most fire that should be the micro-letter now, and I basically do not have to chat with the rice, or Tencent Weibo, compared to his opponents use rate is very few, and I have repeatedly deleted. It can be seen that in such a single tool, or in the Life-and-death competition, it may have been a long time unified.

Composite tools, I understand is a small box, which has a different size screwdriver, sometimes you use this, sometimes you use that. For example, my Alipay, as well as Tenpay, to use, as well as map classes, I also installed Google, Baidu, gold three map, I do not want to because of a map error, let me go a lot of unnecessary. Of course, these composite tools may be a single day, but now I usually wear.

And the interest class app is much easier, there is no judgment error. I can install many applications that I am interested in, even if there is a great deal of repetition: for example, the news client, I installed three, and the gift of one of the right to push messages; I also installed a lot of shopping app, and even what it is worth to buy this app, I also installed, as well as film fiction and other applications, I also lavish on the loaded, Although the usage rate is not high.

Apparently, tool-type app's goal is to do the largest, so that as many users as possible to use themselves, in the function and experience in all aspects of attracting users, and the interest of the app is to provide a good interest content, the client is only a presentation channel, behind the content to provide the ability to be more important.

How important is the client upgrade

And after so many apps, the trouble comes up, and a few very responsible apps remind me that there are newer versions of other apps, and I'm never lazy, one by one updates in WiFi or even 3G, and the vast majority of the updated results don't feel much, A handful of exotic flowers also make me a user of regret.

I was wondering, what is the purpose of these Internet companies to update the app version so frequently, and I found some of the better things to do to optimize the application and provide some more services under this application theme, note that this is the subject of this application. And the more bastard app, is want to do the whole, even into other app responsible areas, and constantly get more mobile phone permissions, aroused my dissatisfaction.

I think that an app, from the moment of birth, its function is basically determined, such as "omnipotent" micro-letter, its core, that is, contacts to send information to each other, of course, also extended a lot of "functions", such as a group of people send information, a group of people send information, a few pieces of information per day, mass information range, Mass information whether to remind and so on, but around or send information.

Apps can be expanded, but it's also reasonable to be able to expand blindly and dream of becoming a mobile phone portal. I think that the entrance to the phone is my desktop--my carefully decorated app matrix, where all sorts of apps are chosen by me, not an ambitious app that wants to replace it.

Finally, as the owner of the cell phone, for so many interesting apps, I want you to do it well enough to satisfy my great need for some interest, and sometimes it's best to inspire the mind, and for those tools app, optimize in the scope of the job, do addition and subtraction, sometimes provide more than a few sets of skin, It is better than providing extra useless functionality. Please be careful to upgrade the version bar, do not 3.5.1, 4.9.3 so upgrade, is not at all 10M, 20M, respect for users, in order to get users.
