One-Thing Apps
I love apps that do only one thing but do it well. I don’t need an app to solve all my problems in one interface. This usually leads to one of the following:
- The app solves many problems I have, but it solves each one poorly.
- The app solves some problems I have and some that I don’t, making parts of it useless to me.
I don’t want what they call a Super-app. I want an app designed to solve something specific, one that has been thoughtfully crafted to address a particular need. This doesn’t mean that I want an app for every little thing. The “one thing” could also be a big thing; it just needs to be focused.
