A business model which is freemium is operated by “Chess.com”. These mobile app features which are main features are free but others are unavailable or limited in some aspects until or unless there is a paid subscription.
Analysis
Design
In this section, what is actually done regarding the implementation and testing of the analysis part of “Chess.com” mobile application is actually discussed here and some pictures and snips of the codes and the outputs of the “Chess.com” mobile app are also going to be attached and discussed as well for making the topic more clear and understandable for this proposed work. The layout and mock-up design of this “Chess.com” app is created and designed using Android Studio by using the layout editor (Chen and Wang, 2019). Each activity mock-ups, the controls on each activity mock-ups and the look of the app when the app runs or executes is also shown as well as discussed here.
