Panel: From App To Super App: Expanding Mobile Apps Beyond A Single Experience.
summary
Duolingo consolidates new subjects (math, music, chess) into one app after abandoning separate standalone apps to capture cross-course engagement and simplify growth tooling; Viber adds payments, dating, commerce by detecting signals like PDFs or meter readings, surfacing country-tailored entry points and keeping data and chats siloed for privacy; monetization mixes native ads, rewarded video and a premium tier (Viber Plus); strategy favors engagement over short-term revenue, and home‑screen real estate and clear product objectives drive success or internal conflict.
