The question we are proposing is 'Is Big beautiful or do the best things
coming small packages?’
One of our iPhones needed the
software updating on it. We are sure you have come across this where IOS puts
little red dot on your 'Settings App'. You go in and it says there is a new
version of IOS and please download it now…
As you may have experienced, when you go to download this update it says you don’t have enough memory space! Either you have far too many Photos, videos or songs on your handset or a large number of apps. In some cases it’s not really any of the above.
Why don’t you have any memory left
then? surely 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB memory are just that, space for 'your
stuff'?
However it's increasingly likely with every IOS update that the OS on your phone or tablet eats away at that available memory space, thus restricting what you can have or do with your device.
As we cannot do anything about
Photos, Videos and Songs on your phone/tablet, this led us to looking closely
at the size of apps we have on there. Focussing on the more common apps that people
use around Social Media, search, messaging and more relevant to skignz, other
major AR Apps.
The results were startling to say the least! All of the big apps like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Chrome, twitter etc… were around 75mB to 100mB in size. Then they slowly decreased in size with the likes of Instagram, We Chat, WhatsApp etc… right down to the AR based apps such as Blippar, Layar and Wikitude who were all a more sensible 15mB to 20mB.
File Size (Mb)
With all of the above in mind, we then come to skignz.
With its huge potential to benefit just about every person on the planet either professionally or personally, the verticals it can deliver 'visualised data' in a more meaningful and helpful manner, you would expect it to be leaning towards the higher end of the size of Apps, maybe a bit bigger than the other more established 'image recognition based AR apps.
This goes right back to Si Brown's
quote in 2013/14 that skignz helps you to stop looking at your phone… and start
looking through it…
Next time when you are backing up your Phone or tablet, take a look at how much memory your apps are taking up… surely there is room for the little cute/light and small skignz app.
It will open you up to a whole new world of information

We ask this question because we have
recently compiled some data about the file sizes of App on people's smartphones
and tablets.
Why did we do this?

We at skignz feel over the coming
years there will be a move towards 'less apps' on your phone, leaving more space for immediate storage or
as connections improve more access to the cloud of your information.
With all of the above in mind, we then come to skignz.

skignz is only 1mB in file size… yes
you read that right, your eyes are not deceiving you….
ONE megabyte.
This file size this makes skignz one of the smallest 'file size footprints' available, yet has the ability to 'visualise' most if not all of the 'data' of the other apps in a more engaging and interactive way, especially the collection data normally presented on a map interface.
