The disadvantages of learning apps

There are very few disadvantages of the learning apps. I think that the size of the gadget is also a disadvantage. The fact that if you have lets say you are using a phone, the screen is so small and they can be easily lost or stolen.

Moreover, the essential part phone is the screen it is small and it can strain the eyes of those who use it for a long period of time.

O

n a screen that is that small, it can only holds a small amount of information that can be displayed.

The battery life is also an issue with transportable devices such as tablets or phones. As an example most gadgets in this generation have only a few hours of productivity. Once the battery runs out, the student will have to plug it in for recharging. Mobile learning is then no longer mobile. Slide6
