Best practice for building app

Is it best to add activities as website urls or custom pages.

What's the real benefit of the zip option?

    It depends on what you want to do. It seems you are focusing on HTML based activities so I would describe their differences like so:

    1) Website is good if you have one already and don't mind your users having to go online to view the content.

    2) Custom Pages allow you to create simple offline content quickly and easily that is mostly limited to one page per activity.

    3) HTML Archive allows you to build complex offline websites containing multiple pages.

    I hope this helps.

    Hey Bob,

    I don't think that there is an ideal app size, but 470K is nothing to worry about. If you were getting up over 5MB or 10MB then people might be concerned (or download via WiFi) but less than a MB isn't that big of a deal.
