I increasingly avoid installing apps when I have an alternative, but it wasn't always so. Somehow I've managed to be an iOS app developer since the first retina iPod touch.

The devices have their limits. We have those devices to make our life convenient. If we don't use the apps, it does not make sense to buy expensive phones that support so many features.

I install whatever on a whim, whatever looks interesting or fun but I'll delete the second I found out it was not what I expected.
