jSalesforce App Features: What’s Available in Each Version
Salesforce is available on Android
and iOS devices from Google Play and the App Store. It's also available as a mobile web
experience in supported mobile browsers. In most cases, all of the “flavors” include the
same features. But there are some differences between the experiences, often related to
differences in the mobile platforms on which Salesforce is supported.
