As CFO , I can access and see who has paid from my phone or iPad . I don ’ t have to be connected to a computer at all times .

Distinguishing between a mobile site and a mobile application is important . A mobile website is a traditional website that is specifically designed to display on a smaller , handheld device . With a responsive site , you aren ’ t redirected , and you still get the same experience of your web-based application . Alternatively , a mobile application is downloaded to a user ’ s individual device and can often be accessed without the need for an internet connection . According to customer and market surveys , user preference for mobile apps far outweighs that of mobile sites .
