Abstract

In an almost unprecedented success story, mobile devices and their software (apps) have become ubiquitous utensils for end users. In controlling, there is – despite potential benefits and clear interest – still no widespread use of apps. In this chapter, the possibilities of mobile devices and their usefulness for the tasks of controlling – especially under the aspect of digitalization – are highlighted. At the same time, challenges in the use of apps and reasons for the hesitant use of apps to date are mentioned and analyzed. The main reasons are security concerns, limited space for information presentation and necessary IT integration. Suitable recommendations for action are intended to contribute to increased usability in the future.
