Savvy businesses are aware that having a web presence of their business is not enough to remain competitive in the market. If you are not leveraging on mobile app, then you will be leaving a lot of money and opportunity on the table. According to statistics, 80% of the internet users own a smartphone and more than 25% consumers use a branded app for mobile research. They prefer to access the internet through their mobile devices. So, for all the business owners out there, it is time to create an app for your business so that your consumers can easily get connected over their hand devices and reach out to you for the services or products.

 

But what does this mean for the mobile app developers? More work and more projects in iOS, Android and mobile web? But there are few other things that you should also be prepared for. Today, business owners are moving to mobile. So, be ready to answer their questions during the interview with the hiring manager.

 

Here are some questions that they might put up before you before they hire you to develop your app.

 

Can you show some examples of mobile apps that you have created?

While facing clients looking for mobile app development partnership, mobile developers should come prepared to show their past work as well as some ongoing projects because this will indicate what you can contribute to the clients in case they hire you. The customers will always try to get an idea of what you have developed in the past and try to determine the technologies that you have worked on. Your work will also help them judge your skill set and experience and help them take a decision whether you are the best or not.

A thorough study of the portfolio will act as the best guide for understanding the quality of work that you provide. Repeat clients, result based facts and figures also reveal the real picture that will help to gain trust.

 

What are your core services?

Mobile app developers are the ones who are responsible for creating the app from the scratch and deliver it to the customers. The client company might ask you about your core services just to know whether you offer a full package to complete all processes from offering business analysis to developing modern and high quality app. You should be prepared to answer them and show your expertise in delivering customized projects that require working with modern app development frameworks and tools.

 

What is your app development process?

It is important to know about how the service providers will operate in the most crucial time. It is important for you to remain prepared about your development process and the strategies that you will adopt in case some unexpected problems arise. Be prepared to explain the methodologies that you would follow while building the application. This will help to gain reliability and also respond to any challenges that can be produced during the development process. Business owners usually prefer to choose agile development as it is a better approach and helps to make essential changes even during the development process.

 

What is your checklist for testing an app before launch?

Mobile app developers are responsible for creating the app from the scratch and delivering it to the customers. Your client may ask you about your app testing approach before the final release. Are you responsible only for creating an app or would you perform a comprehensive testing to confirm any errors or bugs in it? Anticipate these questions and prepare your answers as a test will require large beta groups, app updates, bug fixes and also the submission process to get the app into the store. Showing complete awareness of the entire process will help to impress your client as a dedicated mobile app developer.

 

Do you have any rewards, recognition or client references?

Any reliable mobile company will be able to show some awards and recognitions by top ranking organizations, magazines or media. Look out if your developers and designers have been credited anywhere on the internet and also ask your clients to share their views and recommendations on social media or YouTube. You can use the client's testimonials to prove your credibility and also give their references so that your clients can directly take a feedback from them.

What is your preferred communication means during the app development process?

Since app development requires good collaboration between the client and the team, your client may want to know the means of communication with the developers and project managers throughout the development process. Be prepared and be very clear about your work style and communication means and how you will update your client about the work proceedings. If you prefer video conferencing meetings or emails, make sure to convey the preferences to your client so that they can be well prepared to work with you.

 

How do you calculate the app pricing?

Since making a business mobile app is a big investment and you cannot usually overlook the expenses, it is important to plan your budget beforehand. Your customer may ask you about the time and money that they will have to spend on the mobile app. So, make them understand the billing procedure and any other extra claims that you might charge while creating the app. Don't overprice and be alert of all the expenses and maintain a proper invoice for each assignment.

 

The desire to start working with new clients on their app is understandable, but keep in mind that developing an app is a lengthy process and it is very important to gain the trust of your client regarding reputation, reliability and credibility. It is only then that you will be able to capture a wider market and enjoy growth in your business.

Creating an online site is fifty percent the focus on the internet , making apps is the other half.

By keeping your website concealed, you will not develop your enterprise in its entirety but will merely achieve partial development.

You have to find an alternate solution.

This helps you to control the responses that happen to be the main aspect of interaction with the customer base.

The customer develops a point of view of your website by the responses you make and if you trust a third-party, then the responses will not be adequate and the customer will take his enterprise somewhere else.

This means you are able to make offers and give special discounts as per your consideration.

A mobile app is a need of today’s time, where apps have covered the maximum space on the business verticals and are on the verge of further expansion. But when you look closely you usually find that many mobile apps fare well in the app stores, but some fail to even meet the basic standard of business goals, this all happens due to the certain negligence played during the app development process, today we shall discuss those negligence to avoid the business chaos in the long run, so let’s not wait any longer and let’s hit the bullet…

 

Too Many Platforms

Ever heard the idiom, too many cooks spoils the broth…this exactly what happens to your mobile app, when you build a mobile app for too many platforms in the initial phase. I agree with the fact that, to beat the competition blues, you need to be proactive and cover the biggest app markets Android and iOS, but in the attempt of making an app for various platforms, you unknowingly, end up yourself in the troubled space, where you have to focus on two different platforms and its requirements, including any valid change in the app design of functionalities simultaneously, which dilutes your attention and bring the unwanted stress on your plate. So no need to rush, in order to beat the competition, consume gradually, first focus on one platform and make it a perfect product from every angle, and once done, port the app to another platform, this strategy will be easier for your financial terms and your business goals perspective as well.

 

Website Replica

Many times, when I need an eCommerce mobile app, I open and, find no difference between the website and the mobile app, this leaves me with confusion, that what’s new there in the app. As a business owner, you need to understand why the mobile app is formed? It is developed for the convenience of your customers, but they need to get a different experience from your website, the mobile app experience is needed to be engaging, informative and unique as well. For instance, if your website is showing the upcoming dresses for the summers, then your app should offer a portal to buy them, along with the discounts. With a mobile app, you aim to reach a wider audience across the globe, so it must serve the purpose of global users’ requirements and should not be an extended version of your website.

 

Skipping Pre-Launch Marketing

When it comes to market your product, there is no hard and fast rule, but you need to work and modulate the app marketing as per the demand of your users and your business domain as well. DO NOT think pre-launch marketing does not prove helpful for your mobile app, because it did not help your so and so service, you need to understand every field has its own demand, and mobile app marketing needs to cover all the 4 corners of the app marketing without a fail, and should not suffice only to post-launch marketing. Go wider and bigger and let your app experiences the best marketing strategies with pre and post app launch and feel the difference.

 

Avoiding Analytics

As a good businessman, you should always explore the best possible ways to reach and understand your target users. The analytics tools always give you a crystal clear insight of your users and their in-app behavior, taking a close look at the given analytics and work on the given report. These analytical tools will help you to mend down the faults in your mobile app and create a better user experience.

 

When you think of a mobile app, you can’t afford to offer your app project to a mobile app development company which has ZERO exposure percentage in the app development, rather you look for a mobile app development company which offers a wide range of mobile app development services, and has adequate experience in serving the various business domains, Techugo is one of those companies, which lets the work speak for itself, our work is not sufficed to established brands only, but we have assisted various startups from the different industry vertical reach their deserving recognition through our developed mobile apps.

Mobile applications development companies are well responding to to the call of on-demand economy and sweating it out to build mobile apps that will get services to the doorsteps of consumers. When in need of a vehicle to journey away or a maid to take care of their homes, people today can just go through their mobile screens, open an app and hire the identical. While the on-demand economy will thrive because it is making daily lives of people more resourceful by providing them great convenience, there are multiple enterprise regions that are leveraging the idea of on-demand mobile apps.

 

Let's talk about some of the prominent enterprise areas where on-demand services app is playing its part well and generating new revenue streams for the entrepreneurs.

 

1 Local services

The tale of on-demand services started out when some local shops or food stores started delivering their products on the doorsteps of consumers staying with a proximate range. Mobile app development company has been the medium for customers to view their products and place orders.

Following the trend, many big and small food-centres, grocery stores, clothing and retail outlets started out with their own on-demand deliveries. Major triggers for the customers to use their mobile apps are the comfort of shopping from home, bit cheaper prices, can search over a range of products, and can even shop from the stores which are not at a convenient location.

 

2 Personal Utility services

Use of on-demand apps also shore up tremendously in the realm of personal utility and healthcare services. Apps in these segment include services of stylists, fitness trainers, therapists, body spa, tailoring and so forth. While to avail any of these, people earlier have to either walk into the services centres or call beforehand to get appointments, with apps they are now getting all personal and healthcare treatment at their homes.

With easy-to-use apps, people can now view the types of services offered, hire an executive and get themselves served. Even payments are going cashless with such apps, as customers have the option to make in-app payments using credit/debit cards.

 

3 Transportation

There's no stopping to the evolution of on-demand services in travel and transportation. Perhaps the fastest growing type of apps enterprise, 'private cars on hire' is the recent buzz of all metropolitan towns and cities. Also available with facilities of pool or shuttle, on-demand cab services are gradually overshadowing the conventional taxis, available less and from the stands. Contrary to this, people can now hire a cab right from their present location. They get to see the cabs available in their proximity via the mobile app and tap on 'hire' to get themselves picked up.

 

4 Homecare Services

There's more of the on-demand apps! Apart from personal care, they are now available for different household services including laundry, home cleaners, cooks, electricians, plumbers, babysitters, pet sitters, etc. So, instead of searching for services providers from different sources and approaching them personally, they can use apps. They are performing the role of a middle-man between the homemakers and the services centers. Furthermore, with such an app, service providers can now tap profits from the distant markets apart from the locals.

To cut it short, on-demand mobile application development is booming fast. Even before companies can realise what an on-demand app can do to their enterprise, consumers are getting crazy over the trend. And, why not? Those apps are like mini-guide in their pockets, helping them get what they want in minutes. Soon a time may come when people won't venture out of their homes to look for a service or product.

Everyone knows the delivered app has to be of high-quality and bug free still I am stating this point because it is very necessary. You must use the best software testing service of an enterprise or your in-house QA testing experts to perform the app testing. Don’t rely on the developers to test the app as they may skip some functional and nonfunctional flaws which can create a bad user experience.

With more than 7,50,000 apps developed and many more coming in on this mobile app development platform and a existing growth rate of 32% per month it wouldn’t be inappropriate to declare Android the most sought after mobile application development platform.

Android provides for a hassle-free experience for the users as well as developers. Android works on Linux, which is an open-source version of the UNIX operating system. Also, apps for Android can be developed on any platform: Linux, Mac OS-X or Windows.

The primary support that Android provides to its developers will help them design and build super revolutionary and advantageous apps but the fact remains that only an expert app building team can come up with well-performing apps. Becoming a Google product, Android can seamlessly be integrated with almost all Google attributes likes Gtalk, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Calendars, etc. Android also follows various methodologies for application development depending on their size and nature. This is why, Android is known as one of the most systematic techniques for application development.

Android which has made its presence felt in more than 190 nations has an open entry system. The developer can launch their apps conveniently at nominal costs. Also there are no hidden costs like the royalty costs or the license fees. With this, the developer can create and design apps as per the client’s requirements without needing to compromise upon the performance as there are little restrictions on this mobile-platform.

Android is available on majority of the smartphones like the Samsung, HTC, Motorola, to term a few. These phones cover a huge proportion of smartphone audience because of which many developers have been drawn towards Android for application development. Majority of the companies prefer Android over additional mobile app development platforms courtesy the various benefits that it provides for.

The popularity of mobile applications, or apps, has caused enterprises of all types to try their hand at the mobile market.

Today, paradigm shifts in shopping, driving, commuting, transactions, education, or even interactions with personal appliances, manifest that promise. The mantra ‘there’s an app for that’ is well and truly coming real and living up to itself every step of the way.

 

As much as that gives businesses good reasons for pursuing a mobile app, getting a successful mobile app is often unwieldy. To help businesses get through, apps developers SDI share some of the most fundamental ground rules of how to plan, design, and work out mobile app success:

 

  1. Stand out: The need to stand out is pretty obviously the single most important deciding factor--and by a long shot.  It’s not the teeming Apps Stores alone that need accounting for, but also that your mobile app mustn’t end up being seen as just another alternative business tool. If you’ve a mobile website for example, it must not eclipse the app’s functionality. Focus on creating distinct value for each.

 

  1. Sync with users: Any mobile app is only as successful as its users make it to be. User experience is a great trigger and for that you need to know exactly how to bring about user stimulation.  There are several means available to tap into user sensibility. Social media and geolocation for example are great when it comes to stimulating engagement and should be intelligently deployed.  

 

  1. Platform sensibility:  Developing for Android is just not the same as developing for iOS, Blackberry or Windows 8, and this variance must be clearly understood. The kind of device range on Android is unparalleled and poses big challenges of screen size, hardware, and intuitiveness. Your developer has to have a decisive roadmap upfront dealing with specific mobile app development platforms aberration because clearly one size doesn’t fit all.

 

  1. Testing and support: One crucial fact often ignored by businesses is that testing is not only integral to a successful launch but also for shortening the development cycle. Once a store detects a below par app, it straightaway translates into investing additional hours into diagnostics.

 

  1. Marketing: Creating a good app is only half the job done; now think about making it visible and gaining some eyeballs. There are more than 750,000 mobile apps each on Apple and Android which makes it nearly mandatory that yours sticks out. Depending on the monetization model built into the app, define the most adequate marketing channels for promotion and buzz.

Today’s business climate, that means offering a great mobile app. Integrating IoT can help you offer a next-level app that vaults your business forward.

The Internet of Things

Although only one percent of smart devices currently leverage IoT that number grows daily. You have probably used the IoTs and not realized it. A smart television, new refrigerators and the car service Uber all use the IoT. If you’ve flown on a plane recently, the plane probably used IoT.

The IoT uses tiny sensors that attach to just about anything. Most plane part manufacturers not outfit parts with these sensors. The part transmits data in real-time as the plane runs, providing the airline with telemetry information and part health data. If a part begins performing poorly – outside of acceptable parameters – the sensors transmits it to the ground crew. IoT simply refers to the growing group of Internet capable devices.

Mobile Apps Using IoT

Sure there’s an app for that nowadays, but how helpful is it? Utilizing the IoT in app provides a new level of data and service.

Before IoT, you could locate fixed position items like a taxi stand. With IoT, you can locate the closest car owned by the taxi or car service. That simple difference helped Uber to its quick success. Its app connects you with the nearest available vehicle. It lets you know its distance and your wait time for its arrival – all with the swipe of your finger.

It’s not magic. Your cell phone has IoT sensors inside it. Your phone knows when you move, your location down to the latitude and longitude, when you activate each app, what music you listen to, the videos you watch, and the sound of your voice, of you use a voice-activated app like Siri. The Uber driver’s cell has the same sensors. Through the magic of the Uber app, you data joins, providing you with instant car service and drivers across the country with fares.

Designing for Mobile with IoT

The reward for designing an IoT enabled mobile app is consumer attention. In the US, the average consumer spends about five hours a day using a mobile device. You’ll need to know a few things before jumping into mobile app development platforms using IoT. Mobile app development differs from traditional application development.

While computer applications can balloon in size, consumers expect mobile apps to remain small, requiring only a few megabytes of space.

Designing for mobile devices requires thinking small in screen size, too, but big when it comes to text and buttons.

Security and privacy take priority. Integrating IoT with a mobile app requires data encryption and user identity protections.

Design for the ability to leverage multiple mobile connectivity options, including Bluetooth, cellular, NFC and Wi-Fi.

While you’re busy giving consumers a quick-loading app providing instant data, you’ll benefit, too. Mobile apps offer much more than utility.

Apps increase customer engagement by making your business constantly accessible.

An app functions as an advertisement parked on their phone. It reminds them of your business every time they glance at their screen.

Apps decrease costs on both sides. They reduce the need for SMS messages and newsletters/direct mail campaigns. They also reduce phone contact needs.

The Internet of Things can provide your business with an app that provides better sales and service, ala Uber. Integrating IoT into mobile app development requires extra work in the area of privacy and security, but its benefits to accessibility and customer engagement outweigh the effort.

The most important and overlooked aspect is mobile app optimization and marketing.

Reaching out to users is what sets you apart from others.After investing considerable resources in terms of work, money and time, don’t just leave the app on its fate.

With the fierce competition in app stores, the chances of your app been discovered is tough.

Prototyping is devoid of graphics and colors and not meant to be the final application, only a prototype.

It is essential to stay updated of latest technology, trends, and adapt to emerging techniques.

Mobile apps are not the fad anymore, but have turned into a necessity for us, which help us to get the day-to-day information with just one tap on our mobile phones. When you decide to finally opt for a mobile app for your business, then there are certain important facts which are needed to be considered before developing your mobile app.

 

I know it is a bit confusing and scary too, when you first decide to give a shot to a mobile app, since the chaos of mobile app development companies in the app development field makes it tougher and confusing for you to pick up the mobile app development process, but hold on, we understand that there are certain key points you need to consider before developing a mobile app, so we have brought some of the most important mobile app development facts to be considered…Let’s learn more

 

Multiple Mobile App Development Platforms At Once

It is really a good aspect that you have planned to take up a mobile app for your business and looking for the ways to extend your business with a mobile app, but in this race you don’t need to pick every mobile platform in the very first go and the reason is very valid, since it is more expensive on your part to pay the multiple mobile app development platforms cost and second you need to understand your users’ behavior and user’s traffic on the mobile app, accordingly you can improve the features and the functionalities in the mobile apps’ second version.

 

Don’t Play The Blind Game

Every industry has a different user base, and they have their own demands as well, many business owners, blindly follow the mobile app developer’s advice, and don’t pay attention to their business and its users’ requirements. You need to be highly attentive and must pay attention to what your users want, if your mobile app is failing to serve the purpose of user’s requirement, believe me, no matter how much you spent on a mobile app, or how good your mobile app is, but your users would never prefer to use it to serve their requirements.

 

Your App’s Look Matters

Your app works as an interaction bridge between you and your users, so it needs to serve the purpose and also at the same time, it should be aesthetically appealing, so your users can enjoy the mobile app, with the great user experience. You need to invest some time with your app developers and need to have a seamless user experience for your targeted user base.

 

Only Thinking about the cost

It is good that you think of the app development cost, which is quite obvious and practical from your business point of view, but you should not be highly rigid with app development cost, since many app developers are there, who are ready to offer a mobile app development at the low-cost, but their expertise and the technical exposure are very limited, which puts the future of your mobile app in danger, by failing to address any grave technical issue of the mobile app development, and as a consequence, you are left with one option to go to another experienced app developer to complete the app project. This would cost you more than you have planned for…so pick a mobile app development company which has the required expertise and the technical exposure to handling your app effortlessly.

 

Marketing Leads To Success

App marketing is one of the most prominent parts of the app success, and you cannot deny it at any cost. A mobile app is a dream project which is developed to boost your business revenue more in numbers, and it can only reach its targeted audience through the app marketing. Many app developers tend to think that app marketing can be initiated only once the app is developed, but they don’t know that a mobile app needs to be promoted from the very initial stage, which is called pre-launch app marketing, this can easily be done with app teasers, blogs, articles, which would be posted on various social media channels so the app would receive its deserving recognition by the time it gets launched.

If you are looking forward to outsource your clients’ projects to a mobile app outsourcing company, you are headed to make huge profits by minimizing your overhead expenses and also maximizing your profits. Here are the trends that will define the future of mobile application development.

Wearable gadgets

Year on year, the volume of wearable devices manufactured is surging up by about 30 percent. There is also a sharp transition noted from just basic to smart wearables. App developers are highly excited about this development since wearable devices like healthcare sensors, smart watches, smart jewelry, display devices and many others have to communicate with mobile applications to deliver the information in innovative ways. Hence there is a huge requirement in the fields of sports, fitness, healthcare, hobbies and fashion for mobile apps. These gadgets will ultimately decide the future course the mobile app development sector must take.

Internet and smart objects connected with mobiles

Experts say by 2020, there will be over 26 billion connected devices including thousands of small objects like toys, LED bulbs, domestic appliances, medical devices, sports gadgets and power sockets. These things will have to communicate through their Apps with the smart phones and tablets serving as remote controls and to facilitate the display and analysis of information, interfacing with the social networks and monitoring the devices. Hoes are being automated now through voice command. Such developments point out the immense need in front of the mobile apps development world.

Mobile commerce

Purchases through mobiles are on the sharp rise. Over the next four to five years, this segment is expected to reach a phenomenal growth. The Apple Pay and Google Wallet are increasing in popularity. They too facilitate purchasing through mobile phones rather than credit or debit cards. This segment will require mobile app developers to create mobile apps to process the transactions thereby ruling out the need for debit cards or cash. Therefore mobile commerce segment is yet another huge segment for the mobile apps to target.

Motion sensing and location sensing

These days, most mobile phones come with location sensing capabilities. These phones deploy multiple positioning methods to give different granularities of the location information. Motion sensing apps have come to serve several functions in the areas of mobile games, anti-theft measures, power-saving and others. Experts say in the long run, the concept of smart lighting is also expected to boom up. Sensing of the precise indoor location is very useful in Geotagging, games, vehicle navigation and fitness apps. These developments will help achieve personalization of services and information to a great extent. Therefore the immense potentials for growth in front of the mobile app development platforms sector has motivated a large number of technology companies to jump into this arena and take advantage of the exploding business opportunity.

Savvy businesses are aware that having a web presence of their business is not enough to remain competitive in the market. If you are not leveraging on mobile app, then you will be leaving a lot of money and opportunity on the table. According to statistics, 80% of the internet users own a smartphone and more than 25% consumers use a branded app for mobile research. They prefer to access the internet through their mobile devices. So, for all the business owners out there, it is time to create an app for your business so that your consumers can easily get connected over their hand devices and reach out to you for the services or products.

 

But what does this mean for the mobile app developers? More work and more projects in iOS, Android and mobile web? But there are few other things that you should also be prepared for. Today, business owners are moving to mobile. So, be ready to answer their questions during the interview with the hiring manager.

 

Here are some questions that they might put up before you before they hire you to develop your app.

 

Can you show some examples of mobile apps that you have created?

While facing clients looking for mobile app development partnership, mobile developers should come prepared to show their past work as well as some ongoing projects because this will indicate what you can contribute to the clients in case they hire you. The customers will always try to get an idea of what you have developed in the past and try to determine the technologies that you have worked on. Your work will also help them judge your skill set and experience and help them take a decision whether you are the best or not.

A thorough study of the portfolio will act as the best guide for understanding the quality of work that you provide. Repeat clients, result based facts and figures also reveal the real picture that will help to gain trust.

 

What are your core services?

Mobile app developers are the ones who are responsible for creating the app from the scratch and deliver it to the customers. The client company might ask you about your core services just to know whether you offer a full package to complete all processes from offering business analysis to developing modern and high quality app. You should be prepared to answer them and show your expertise in delivering customized projects that require working with modern app development frameworks and tools.

 

What is your app development process?

It is important to know about how the service providers will operate in the most crucial time. It is important for you to remain prepared about your development process and the strategies that you will adopt in case some unexpected problems arise. Be prepared to explain the methodologies that you would follow while building the application. This will help to gain reliability and also respond to any challenges that can be produced during the development process. Business owners usually prefer to choose agile development as it is a better approach and helps to make essential changes even during the development process.

 

What is your checklist for testing an app before launch?

Mobile app developers are responsible for creating the app from the scratch and delivering it to the customers. Your client may ask you about your app testing approach before the final release. Are you responsible only for creating an app or would you perform a comprehensive testing to confirm any errors or bugs in it? Anticipate these questions and prepare your answers as a test will require large beta groups, app updates, bug fixes and also the submission process to get the app into the store. Showing complete awareness of the entire process will help to impress your client as a dedicated mobile app developer.

 

Do you have any rewards, recognition or client references?

Any reliable mobile company will be able to show some awards and recognitions by top ranking organizations, magazines or media. Look out if your developers and designers have been credited anywhere on the internet and also ask your clients to share their views and recommendations on social media or YouTube. You can use the client's testimonials to prove your credibility and also give their references so that your clients can directly take a feedback from them.

What is your preferred communication means during the app development process?

Since app development requires good collaboration between the client and the team, your client may want to know the means of communication with the developers and project managers throughout the development process. Be prepared and be very clear about your work style and communication means and how you will update your client about the work proceedings. If you prefer video conferencing meetings or emails, make sure to convey the preferences to your client so that they can be well prepared to work with you.

 

How do you calculate the app pricing?

Since making a business mobile app is a big investment and you cannot usually overlook the expenses, it is important to plan your budget beforehand. Your customer may ask you about the time and money that they will have to spend on the mobile app. So, make them understand the billing procedure and any other extra claims that you might charge while creating the app. Don't overprice and be alert of all the expenses and maintain a proper invoice for each assignment.

 

The desire to start working with new clients on their app is understandable, but keep in mind that developing an app is a lengthy process and it is very important to gain the trust of your client regarding reputation, reliability and credibility. It is only then that you will be able to capture a wider market and enjoy growth in your business.

The popularity of mobile applications, or apps, has caused enterprises of all types to try their hand at the mobile market.

Creating a mobile app that ties in with your enterprise can be a smart move, but it's not without some risk.

Developing a Mobile App – Pros & Cons Before creating an app for your enterprise, it's important to make sure it's a good investment by weighing the benefits versus the drawbacks.

Pros:- Provides better customer service, allowing users to access your enterprise directly from their phone.- Shows your enterprise is modern- Provides your enterprise with more exposure by essentially advertising your company to anyone that browses the app store on their phone.

Cons:- Requires a significant investment that may offer your enterprise no additional revenue.- Highly competitive app market means your app may not be downloaded.- Very difficult to develop a mobile app that perfectly fits your enterprise.The iPhone Once you've determined that a mobile app is a right fit, you'll have to choose which platform you want to release it on.

Secondly, your app can be developed to work on any iPhone since they all have the same specifications.

Creating an online site is fifty percent the focus on the internet , making apps is the other half.

By keeping your website concealed, you will not develop your enterprise in its entirety but will merely achieve partial development.

You have to find an alternate solution.

This helps you to control the responses that happen to be the main aspect of interaction with the customer base.

The customer develops a point of view of your website by the responses you make and if you trust a third-party, then the responses will not be adequate and the customer will take his enterprise somewhere else.

This means you are able to make offers and give special discounts as per your consideration.

Today, paradigm shifts in shopping, driving, commuting, transactions, education, or even interactions with personal appliances, manifest that promise. The mantra ‘there’s an app for that’ is well and truly coming real and living up to itself every step of the way.

 

As much as that gives businesses good reasons for pursuing a mobile app, getting a successful mobile app is often unwieldy. To help businesses get through, apps developers SDI share some of the most fundamental ground rules of how to plan, design, and work out mobile app success:

 

  1. Stand out: The need to stand out is pretty obviously the single most important deciding factor--and by a long shot.  It’s not the teeming Apps Stores alone that need accounting for, but also that your mobile app mustn’t end up being seen as just another alternative business tool. If you’ve a mobile website for example, it must not eclipse the app’s functionality. Focus on creating distinct value for each.

 

  1. Sync with users: Any mobile app is only as successful as its users make it to be. User experience is a great trigger and for that you need to know exactly how to bring about user stimulation.  There are several means available to tap into user sensibility. Social media and geolocation for example are great when it comes to stimulating engagement and should be intelligently deployed.  

 

  1. Platform sensibility:  Developing for Android is just not the same as developing for iOS, Blackberry or Windows 8, and this variance must be clearly understood. The kind of device range on Android is unparalleled and poses big challenges of screen size, hardware, and intuitiveness. Your developer has to have a decisive roadmap upfront dealing with specific mobile app development platforms aberration because clearly one size doesn’t fit all.

 

  1. Testing and support: One crucial fact often ignored by businesses is that testing is not only integral to a successful launch but also for shortening the development cycle. Once a store detects a below par app, it straightaway translates into investing additional hours into diagnostics.

 

  1. Marketing: Creating a good app is only half the job done; now think about making it visible and gaining some eyeballs. There are more than 750,000 mobile apps each on Apple and Android which makes it nearly mandatory that yours sticks out. Depending on the monetization model built into the app, define the most adequate marketing channels for promotion and buzz.

A mobile app is a need of today’s time, where apps have covered the maximum space on the business verticals and are on the verge of further expansion. But when you look closely you usually find that many mobile apps fare well in the app stores, but some fail to even meet the basic standard of business goals, this all happens due to the certain negligence played during the app development process, today we shall discuss those negligence to avoid the business chaos in the long run, so let’s not wait any longer and let’s hit the bullet…

 

Too Many Platforms

Ever heard the idiom, too many cooks spoils the broth…this exactly what happens to your mobile app, when you build a mobile app for too many platforms in the initial phase. I agree with the fact that, to beat the competition blues, you need to be proactive and cover the biggest app markets Android and iOS, but in the attempt of making an app for various platforms, you unknowingly, end up yourself in the troubled space, where you have to focus on two different platforms and its requirements, including any valid change in the app design of functionalities simultaneously, which dilutes your attention and bring the unwanted stress on your plate. So no need to rush, in order to beat the competition, consume gradually, first focus on one platform and make it a perfect product from every angle, and once done, port the app to another platform, this strategy will be easier for your financial terms and your business goals perspective as well.

 

Website Replica

Many times, when I need an eCommerce mobile app, I open and, find no difference between the website and the mobile app, this leaves me with confusion, that what’s new there in the app. As a business owner, you need to understand why the mobile app is formed? It is developed for the convenience of your customers, but they need to get a different experience from your website, the mobile app experience is needed to be engaging, informative and unique as well. For instance, if your website is showing the upcoming dresses for the summers, then your app should offer a portal to buy them, along with the discounts. With a mobile app, you aim to reach a wider audience across the globe, so it must serve the purpose of global users’ requirements and should not be an extended version of your website.

 

Skipping Pre-Launch Marketing

When it comes to market your product, there is no hard and fast rule, but you need to work and modulate the app marketing as per the demand of your users and your business domain as well. DO NOT think pre-launch marketing does not prove helpful for your mobile app, because it did not help your so and so service, you need to understand every field has its own demand, and mobile app marketing needs to cover all the 4 corners of the app marketing without a fail, and should not suffice only to post-launch marketing. Go wider and bigger and let your app experiences the best marketing strategies with pre and post app launch and feel the difference.

 

Avoiding Analytics

As a good businessman, you should always explore the best possible ways to reach and understand your target users. The analytics tools always give you a crystal clear insight of your users and their in-app behavior, taking a close look at the given analytics and work on the given report. These analytical tools will help you to mend down the faults in your mobile app and create a better user experience.

 

When you think of a mobile app, you can’t afford to offer your app project to a mobile app development company which has ZERO exposure percentage in the app development, rather you look for a mobile app development company which offers a wide range of mobile app development services, and has adequate experience in serving the various business domains, Techugo is one of those companies, which lets the work speak for itself, our work is not sufficed to established brands only, but we have assisted various startups from the different industry vertical reach their deserving recognition through our developed mobile apps.

These advanced feature apps are beneficial for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes and asthma.

Let’s take a look at further benefits of mobile apps in the healthcare sector:

It’s incredible that there are many communication channels for doctors and patients which help both the communities to connect whenever they want.

These advance connection abilities end the system of taking appointments and wait for a more extended period.

Patients can also ask general health questions to doctors and avoid few diseases.

This quick and on-demand communication will change the way of delivering medical assistance.

Today’s business climate, that means offering a great mobile app. Integrating IoT can help you offer a next-level app that vaults your business forward.

The Internet of Things

Although only one percent of smart devices currently leverage IoT that number grows daily. You have probably used the IoTs and not realized it. A smart television, new refrigerators and the car service Uber all use the IoT. If you’ve flown on a plane recently, the plane probably used IoT.

The IoT uses tiny sensors that attach to just about anything. Most plane part manufacturers not outfit parts with these sensors. The part transmits data in real-time as the plane runs, providing the airline with telemetry information and part health data. If a part begins performing poorly – outside of acceptable parameters – the sensors transmits it to the ground crew. IoT simply refers to the growing group of Internet capable devices.

Mobile Apps Using IoT

Sure there’s an app for that nowadays, but how helpful is it? Utilizing the IoT in app provides a new level of data and service.

Before IoT, you could locate fixed position items like a taxi stand. With IoT, you can locate the closest car owned by the taxi or car service. That simple difference helped Uber to its quick success. Its app connects you with the nearest available vehicle. It lets you know its distance and your wait time for its arrival – all with the swipe of your finger.

It’s not magic. Your cell phone has IoT sensors inside it. Your phone knows when you move, your location down to the latitude and longitude, when you activate each app, what music you listen to, the videos you watch, and the sound of your voice, of you use a voice-activated app like Siri. The Uber driver’s cell has the same sensors. Through the magic of the Uber app, you data joins, providing you with instant car service and drivers across the country with fares.

Designing for Mobile with IoT

The reward for designing an IoT enabled mobile app is consumer attention. In the US, the average consumer spends about five hours a day using a mobile device. You’ll need to know a few things before jumping into mobile app development platforms using IoT. Mobile app development differs from traditional application development.

While computer applications can balloon in size, consumers expect mobile apps to remain small, requiring only a few megabytes of space.

Designing for mobile devices requires thinking small in screen size, too, but big when it comes to text and buttons.

Security and privacy take priority. Integrating IoT with a mobile app requires data encryption and user identity protections.

Design for the ability to leverage multiple mobile connectivity options, including Bluetooth, cellular, NFC and Wi-Fi.

While you’re busy giving consumers a quick-loading app providing instant data, you’ll benefit, too. Mobile apps offer much more than utility.

Apps increase customer engagement by making your business constantly accessible.

An app functions as an advertisement parked on their phone. It reminds them of your business every time they glance at their screen.

Apps decrease costs on both sides. They reduce the need for SMS messages and newsletters/direct mail campaigns. They also reduce phone contact needs.

The Internet of Things can provide your business with an app that provides better sales and service, ala Uber. Integrating IoT into mobile app development requires extra work in the area of privacy and security, but its benefits to accessibility and customer engagement outweigh the effort.

Mobile applications development companies are well responding to to the call of on-demand economy and sweating it out to build mobile apps that will get services to the doorsteps of consumers. When in need of a vehicle to journey away or a maid to take care of their homes, people today can just go through their mobile screens, open an app and hire the identical. While the on-demand economy will thrive because it is making daily lives of people more resourceful by providing them great convenience, there are multiple enterprise regions that are leveraging the idea of on-demand mobile apps.

 

Let's talk about some of the prominent enterprise areas where on-demand services app is playing its part well and generating new revenue streams for the entrepreneurs.

 

1 Local services

The tale of on-demand services started out when some local shops or food stores started delivering their products on the doorsteps of consumers staying with a proximate range. Mobile app development company has been the medium for customers to view their products and place orders.

Following the trend, many big and small food-centres, grocery stores, clothing and retail outlets started out with their own on-demand deliveries. Major triggers for the customers to use their mobile apps are the comfort of shopping from home, bit cheaper prices, can search over a range of products, and can even shop from the stores which are not at a convenient location.

 

2 Personal Utility services

Use of on-demand apps also shore up tremendously in the realm of personal utility and healthcare services. Apps in these segment include services of stylists, fitness trainers, therapists, body spa, tailoring and so forth. While to avail any of these, people earlier have to either walk into the services centres or call beforehand to get appointments, with apps they are now getting all personal and healthcare treatment at their homes.

With easy-to-use apps, people can now view the types of services offered, hire an executive and get themselves served. Even payments are going cashless with such apps, as customers have the option to make in-app payments using credit/debit cards.

 

3 Transportation

There's no stopping to the evolution of on-demand services in travel and transportation. Perhaps the fastest growing type of apps enterprise, 'private cars on hire' is the recent buzz of all metropolitan towns and cities. Also available with facilities of pool or shuttle, on-demand cab services are gradually overshadowing the conventional taxis, available less and from the stands. Contrary to this, people can now hire a cab right from their present location. They get to see the cabs available in their proximity via the mobile app and tap on 'hire' to get themselves picked up.

 

4 Homecare Services

There's more of the on-demand apps! Apart from personal care, they are now available for different household services including laundry, home cleaners, cooks, electricians, plumbers, babysitters, pet sitters, etc. So, instead of searching for services providers from different sources and approaching them personally, they can use apps. They are performing the role of a middle-man between the homemakers and the services centers. Furthermore, with such an app, service providers can now tap profits from the distant markets apart from the locals.

To cut it short, on-demand mobile application development is booming fast. Even before companies can realise what an on-demand app can do to their enterprise, consumers are getting crazy over the trend. And, why not? Those apps are like mini-guide in their pockets, helping them get what they want in minutes. Soon a time may come when people won't venture out of their homes to look for a service or product.

Mobile app industry is huge and that the reason many serial entrepreneurs are talking to a mobile app development company to get their app build. To maintain this client with ongoing work of new performance development for forthcoming versions, the mobile app development company or mobile developer must ensure that they offer the best services to this client. Of course, professional approach and competitive rates will help you to get the client, but to maintain the customers you must keep five major things in mind which are explained in this post.

 

  1. Use the recent tools and technologies for mobile app development

The mobile application development is in enterprise for many years. Thus , there are many revolutionary changes in this enterprise. There are so many tools, technologies, libraries, etc. in the market and you must use in-trend platform for your customer. The mobile app development platforms plays a major role in developing a superior quality and scalable mobile application, so benefit your client with the modern trends.

 

2 . Guide your customer by giving him the benefit of your experience

If you are a mobile app development company or a developer, you must have developed many applications in Android and iOS. You must benefit your customer with your own industry knowledge and expertise. Guide him during different stages such as what features should be included in the first version. There can be many recommendations that would benefit your clients and as we all know a cheerful client would stay longer with you and would also provide you with some referral enterprise.

 

3 . Develop a light-weight app

We all know the memory and processor of a Smartphone is restricted. Despite the fact of memory expansion opportunities, today’s everyone is dealing with memory shortage. In case of not enough memory, the first candidates of getting deleted are the apps that are occupying highest space. Thus, make sure your developed app is light-weight.

 

4 . Develop an app with minimum load time

Today’s consumers are impatient. They wouldn’t prefer to see your app is loading the screen or feature. There are hundreds of other options for the same features according to them. Thus, if you develop a slow app, the users are more likely to stop using it.

 

5 . Deliver a bug free mobile app

Everyone knows the delivered app has to be of high-quality and bug free still I am stating this point because it is very necessary. You must use the best software testing service of an enterprise or your in-house QA testing experts to perform the app testing. Don’t rely on the developers to test the app as they may skip some functional and nonfunctional flaws which can create a bad user experience. A high quality app will delight your customer and your customer’s customers.

 

Summary

Mobile app development might be easy for you being the best mobile app development company or a professional, but to assure you provide the best mobile app development services you have to keep these 5 points in mind. It will not only delight your customer, but it will also assure to maintain him for a long time and benefit you with repeat and referral enterprise.

Multiple Mobile App Development Platforms At Once

It is really a good aspect that you have planned to take up a mobile app for your business and looking for the ways to extend your business with a mobile app, but in this race you don’t need to pick every mobile platform in the very first go and the reason is very valid, since it is more expensive on your part to pay the multiple mobile app development platforms cost and second you need to understand your users’ behavior and user’s traffic on the mobile app, accordingly you can improve the features and the functionalities in the mobile apps’ second version.

 

Don’t Play The Blind Game

Every industry has a different user base, and they have their own demands as well, many business owners, blindly follow the mobile app developer’s advice, and don’t pay attention to their business and its users’ requirements. You need to be highly attentive and must pay attention to what your users want, if your mobile app is failing to serve the purpose of user’s requirement, believe me, no matter how much you spent on a mobile app, or how good your mobile app is, but your users would never prefer to use it to serve their requirements.

 

Your App’s Look Matters

Your app works as an interaction bridge between you and your users, so it needs to serve the purpose and also at the same time, it should be aesthetically appealing, so your users can enjoy the mobile app, with the great user experience. You need to invest some time with your app developers and need to have a seamless user experience for your targeted user base.

 

Only Thinking about the cost

It is good that you think of the app development cost, which is quite obvious and practical from your business point of view, but you should not be highly rigid with app development cost, since many app developers are there, who are ready to offer a mobile app development at the low-cost, but their expertise and the technical exposure are very limited, which puts the future of your mobile app in danger, by failing to address any grave technical issue of the mobile app development, and as a consequence, you are left with one option to go to another experienced app developer to complete the app project. This would cost you more than you have planned for…so pick a mobile app development company which has the required expertise and the technical exposure to handling your app effortlessly.

 

Marketing Leads To Success

App marketing is one of the most prominent parts of the app success, and you cannot deny it at any cost. A mobile app is a dream project which is developed to boost your business revenue more in numbers, and it can only reach its targeted audience through the app marketing. Many app developers tend to think that app marketing can be initiated only once the app is developed, but they don’t know that a mobile app needs to be promoted from the very initial stage, which is called pre-launch app marketing, this can easily be done with app teasers, blogs, articles, which would be posted on various social media channels so the app would receive its deserving recognition by the time it gets launched.

Hoes are being automated now through voice command. Such developments point out the immense need in front of the mobile apps development world.

Mobile commerce

Purchases through mobiles are on the sharp rise. Over the next four to five years, this segment is expected to reach a phenomenal growth. The Apple Pay and Google Wallet are increasing in popularity. They too facilitate purchasing through mobile phones rather than credit or debit cards.

Therefore mobile commerce segment is yet another huge segment for the mobile apps to target.

Motion sensing and location sensing

These days, most mobile phones come with location sensing capabilities. These phones deploy multiple positioning methods to give different granularities of the location information. Motion sensing apps have come to serve several functions in the areas of mobile games, anti-theft measures, power-saving and others.
