In recent years, the mobile app industry has seen some dizzying innovations and is undergoing a radical makeover. Advanced technologies like Beacon technology to draw attention to a specific location, Internet of Things (IOT) to collect and exchange data, Big Data, Cloud computing have all been in the news.
In today’s life, mobile applications play an important role in simplifying daily tasks. We have mobile apps for all things today. It is proven that most mobile device users spend their time browsing apps.
Here are some mobile app development trends to look for innovative mobile apps to survive in the competitive market.
• High level mobile application security
Basic security measures are the main focus. Nobody likes when the user’s personal or financial information is available to the hacker. Therefore, Apple IOS and Google Android regard security as an important factor. Therefore, developers must strive to ensure that their applications run correctly and comply with all security protocols.
• Location-based applications with Beacon technology
Apple’s beacon technology has created quite a stir in the app industry. Beacon technology makes applications draw attention to a specific location. If you are an iOS user, try this, it will provide you with a set of services and suggestions based on your geographic location. It’s all about providing the right information to the user’s right.
• Wearable apps
Now everyone’s attention has shifted to wearable technology. Take the app industry to the next level. Developers need to start creating portable apps. This technology explored everything from health care, fitness to fashion, textiles and more. Smart Wears, Apple Watch, Google Glass, Samsung Gear is the great example of wearable technology.
• Internet of things (IoT)
Several companies have also started to integrate IOT. It will help the development of applications with advanced features, new standards, and its own security and privacy concerns. For example, smart cars will be able to connect systems like a traffic signal. The signal sensor, in turn, will give traffic directions, current weather conditions, send accident alerts and provide alternative route options to the driver.
• business applications
In both app store and play store, among a total number of apps, enterprise apps have gained more traction. Enterprise mobile apps are certainly much more expensive than consumer mobile apps. Enterprise-grade applications have top-of-the-line security features such as username/password, encryption/decryption, and MDM software to protect sensitive data from leaks. Research shows that companies that provide solutions will gain employee satisfaction and a friendly work face.
• Quality content and marketing plan.
Unfortunately, the developers focus mainly on the technical and ignore the content. Developers must also focus on content.
• user experience
One million apps are present in the app store and play store. You can find many apps that are similar to your app; you have to face the competition and fight to stand out. For your app to be successful, the app must meet customer satisfaction. User experience and response are important to understanding application performance. The developer can study user behavior through analytics.
