Why is 90% of Users’ Mobile Device Time Spent “in Apps”? Faster, better experience than a mobile browser Access to more features and capabilities Push notification capabilities By end of 2016, mobile device users will spend 3 hours 15 minutes per day using apps. Source: eMarketer Jan 14, 2016 - http://www.emarketer.com/Article/How- Mobile-Apps-Stack-Up-Against-Mobile-Browsers/1013462 A native app is an app downloaded off the app stores, like Apple and Android. A mobile website is viewed through a web browser, like Safari or Chrome. Using a URL in the browser 11% of a day is spent on mobile media – amazing though during that time ony 6% is spent on safari and only 4% of the time on chrome – the 90% is spent in actual apps. So even if a library has a responsive website - users are not using it *

Digital Resource Usage Increases by 35%+ Boopsie has seen an increase of digital resource usage. On average there is a 35% increase with libraries that use their app Increases in Digital resource borrowing obviously vary from library to library Patrons can easily find a way to search, rather than trying to search the search tool Boopsie enhances the user experience by using an intuitive and simple search tool Most users don’t go more than 2 or three clicks or in app world they say 2 or three taps – the Boopsie app makes that search as useful as possible

Feature: OverDrive Embedded Reader Here is the overdrive embedded reader – Boopsie deals with overdrive in two different ways They can search a title and be reading it in three taps which is a great improvement from the old days when it took some 27 clicks to achieve this You can do the same with an audio book The embedded reader needs to be connected in some way as the actual books is read via streaming using data or wifi as the book is not downloaded As we said Boopsie can handle Overdive in a number of ways - the other option is to go app to app. This means that they need to have the overdrive app loaded on their device then can then download the book and read it on a plane Boopsie is working with overdrive to download the content in the embedded experience – coming soon
