Should I use Nova88 app or mobile browser?

Both work fully. App advantages: faster load times, biometric login, push notifications for live betting, offline access to bet history, less data usage. Browser advantages: zero install needed, always up-to-date, works on borrowed devices, lower phone storage usage. Heavy daily players → app. Occasional bettors → browser is fine.

Is the Nova88 app safer than the mobile browser?

Yes — slightly. App uses biometric authentication (Face ID / fingerprint), so no password typed = no keylogger risk. App is also less susceptible to phishing (always connects to verified Nova88 servers, can’t be tricked by fake URLs). Browser security depends on you checking URL is nova88.me exactly and using strong unique password.

Does the Nova88 app use more data than browser?

No — the app uses LESS data than browser for the same activity. App caches images and code locally, only fetching live odds and bet data. Browser must download HTML, CSS, JavaScript repeatedly. Typical comparison: 1 hour browsing same matches — app uses 30-50 MB, browser uses 100-150 MB. App wins for limited data plans.

Can I have both app and browser bookmarks?

Yes — they share the same account, balance, and bet history. Login via either interface. Bet placed on app shows in browser bet history instantly, and vice versa. Many players use the app for live betting (faster) and the browser for research and pre-match analysis (more screen space).
