      I currently use a couple of Mobile banking apps. Benefit - convenience e.g. being able to transfer money immediately Risks - I'm concerned about using them except via mobile data for security reasons. In theory if I lose my phone no-one can access my bank details ... in theory! I also use an app called Duolingo as I'm re-learning French (39 years after last studying it!). Benefits - convenience and I get daily reminders to do my practice. I can do the practice anywhere, anytime. Risks - not really a "risk" in the real sense but it can be buggy and the pronunciation isn't always accurate. WhatsApp Benefit - easy to share photos and convenient to communicate (without talking) Risk - it's been hacked in the past. FotMob Benefit - keeps me up to date with the soccer scores Risks - Depression when my team(s) keep losing Hive Benefit - can adjust my heating when not at home (saves money, gets house warm before I return) Risks - none that I can think of. There's a few others - benefits are generally convenience. I don't use unsecured apps if I need to provide any personal info. Risk is generally that I'm never off my phone so RSI and neck aches are likely to result ;P

          The State of Mobility Survey reveals the challenges organizations are grappling with in accommodating the mobility tipping point and also identifies and quantifies mobility-associated risks as perceived by IT decision makers. In this survey, more than 6,000 organizations from 43 countries bring to light the change in the usage of mobile devices and mobile applications.

            I don't think there are any risks attached but yes over use of App would def put peace of mind at stake.

              Sadaf, Many thanks for your feedback. Have you ever came across anyone having issue with Banking Apps? Also we usually ignore (including myself) to read the licensing terms of these Mobile Apps. Have you ever read them? Now there has been speculation about all the data being tapped in to. Do you think if this is an issue with any of the Apps? I am grateful for all your help.

                I think that Android Mobile Apps have many risks than ios mobile apps.

                  That's a really helpful opinion, especially since you provided no supporting information. :rolleyes:
