Mobile websites and mobile apps each have their own unique advantages. Where web offers immediate access and wide reach, apps are able to provide a rich, convenient experience that creates and engages loyal users. As per the report published by appannie, smartphone users spend 7x more time in native apps than in browsers, and access apps more frequently. Globally in H1 2017, native mobile apps accounted for 88% of time and 93% of sessions on Android phones (the remainder was spent in browsers).

What? When? Where? Why? How? Who?
These are all seemingly simple questions with complicated answers. These are also questions at the core of UX, at the core of creating effective user experiences. As a UX designer on the services team here at Mendix, I work with teams to create applications that help both their organizations and end users meet their goals.
User experience (UX) is a term that continues to be popular in the technology and design industries. Despite its popularity, many are unsure what UX means and how to use the term correctly. You'll often hear it referenced when talking about digital interfaces, like those in websites or mobile apps. While that's not incorrect, a deeper view into UX is crucial for a deeper understanding of what UX is and why it's important.
