9/2 class: Find an app that would work for you equally as well on a computer as on mobile technology. You will write a blog post about that technology. It will need to be unique from your class mates. Explain why this works for you on both devises. Include the strengths, weaknesses, considerations, and gratifications. Also, how would you use this on each of the devises? Would it differ? Be the same? This should be about 2-3 paragraphs.
The app we chose that works equally as well on a computer as on a mobile device is groupme. Groupme is an app that allows you to message people individually/as a group no matter what platform you use. For example, someone with an iphone can keep up with someone who has an android who can also keep up with someone who has no phone and only can access it from a computer. It's a favorited app between college students and workplaces to create a convenient place to collaborate different ideas.
The website has the exact same layout as the mobile app and it is very user friendly. You can change from conversation to conversation fairly quickly and easily. There are also emojis! The strengths of groupme is that it is easily accesible by anyone on any platform and anywhere. IT'S FREE!!! This includes international communication. One weakness is that it isn't marketed to the extent it should be. Most of us have heard about it through word of mouth. Also, when transmitted the video quality is not great. It's primarily used as a textual way of conveying information.
Almost everyone I know has groupme on their device because it's a primary form of communicating during group projects. On a website, you would type in groupme.com and login. On your mobile device you will just click the app and it'll open up.
