Smart in Five curates apps for IOS or Android, and your phone, your tablet, or even your computer.

Mostly we think about apps and phones.

Remember how Iphones shifted the old timey flip phone ecosystem to something way more complex?  The IOS platform opened up phones to new and expanded functions (applications, or apps).  Apps IOS were born.  Apps Android came after.  They are different flavors but both great: Cubs versus White Sox.  Both baseball but sometimes you are just north side.  That’s me: North Side Cubs and Android all day.  The flip phone is dead now, mostly.  Long live the app ecosystem.

Phones are tiny personal computer devices. Apps are important because they allow us to do stuff on our tiny computer devices.
