How frustrating can it be for one's mobile phone to be out of storage yet you want to use the best of all apps to enjoy. More saddening is when you have a very slow network that cannot handle high resolution pages while you browse. This is the situation many has found themselves, i inclusive. We have the low memory space notification always stalking our activity, more so if i entered a low internet connection area i miss my moments on browsing my favourite apps. But all is not lost, facebook, twitter and other popular apps knew the travail of low memory space and slow internet connection that users like us could be passing through, therefore they launched facebook lite and twitter lite, which could literally deal with low storage and ultimately slow internet connection. It will be a very wonderful thing if this innovative could be addopted by steepshot.io.

Steepshot lite

I suggest that steepshot launch a lite app which will be of a very low size and can handle slow connections, i.e. it will automatically reduce the quality of the pictures posted. This can be a lite app that preloads as in a browser shortcut application(like twitter lite)

Twitter lite

Twitter lite is a chrome browser link shortcut for android app. It brings the option when you are regularly visiting twitter. It preloads (or cached) the basic layout of the twitter website.
And loads other datas as requested, this does not neccessarily reduce quality of the page but makes the page easily accessible for those that does not have the app.

Facebook lite

On the other hand facebook lite is specially built for low end users, it also preloads or cach the basic out look of a normal facebook android app, then loads in the data need while reducing the quality of the pictures thus enhancing and increasing the speed of loading the page to be loaded. Facebook lite app always clears the cache of the last page loaded to minimize memory usage, so in a case where you want to go back to a previous page, the app loads it as a fresh page . It is just a lite app where some internal features of the app are missing.

I suggest that steepshot lite should be more of a clone of facebook lite app, so that it will handle size as well as speed in case of people browsing with EDGE. The steepshot lite should have the basic features of the full app.

Benefits

• It helps users with low end android phone users to enjoy the paradise of steepshot app.
• It also enables people with low memory phones to get a glimpse of the app
• Ultimately the lite app will cover a wider range of users.
