app-mining Get TryMyUI to review 50/50 mobile/desktop

50% of worldwide traffic is mobile.

Our #1 app, Dmail, doesn't even work on mobile. That means our App Mining rankings are not a good reflection of real user value.

@jasperjansz can you please add more detail to this? Who would review? How would they test? How would scores be generated? How will you prevent gaming? Thx.

@jasperjansz think this may be a good idea, but need more details.

While web apps can be designed to adapt to a wide range of devices and screen sizes, TMUI typically reviews web apps on larger displays. Hence, app mining doesn't provide incentive for developers to spend the extra resources on making web apps responsive so they also work well on smaller screens like mobile. Some potential improvements:

A. TMUI reviewers are asked to resize their browser verify that a web app works on different sizes. B. TMUI recruit web app reviewers with a wider range of screen sizes. C. A substantial proportion of reviewers of web apps are asked to use the web browser on their mobile device.

I should say what more than 40% of our users are coming from mobile, and I think it should be done as it is not 2010 anymore, and mobile compatibility is a must. I suggest that TMUI aks 4 out of 10 of the testers to use mobile browsers (not resizing desktop browsers) so they can check the experience truthfully. It may need more work from the TMUI side, but it will make sure that as NIL said about every app should support all major browsers, I think it should be the same for Mobile browsers too.
