Mobile Application Development and Features for Business

We live in an age when almost everyone on earth uses a smartphone. According to the recent App Annie report, 2020 was set to be mobile applications’ biggest years with 204B mobile application downloads and mobile ad spend reaching $380B. Onlinist is prepared for current and future innovations such as the growth of 5G, PWA (Progressive Web Apps), and providing the creation of various types of apps created using the latest Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies.

The four types of mobile applications are:

Native Applications

Native mobile applications are what comes to most of our minds when we think of mobile apps and are downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. What distinguishes native apps from mobile web and hybrid apps is that they are developed for specific devices and operating systems. The advantage of choosing a native app is that it is the fastest and most reliable when it comes to user experience. Native apps can also interact with all of the device’s operating system features, such as the microphone, camera, contacts lists, etc. However, a bigger budget is required if you want to build your app for multiple platforms (i.e. iPhones and Android).

Web Applications

Web applications are basically websites with interactivity that feels similar to a mobile applications. Web apps run in multiple browsers, such as Safari or Chrome. If your startup is on a budget and doesn’t require complex functionalities or access to operating system features, then building a web app can be the least expensive option. The downside is that web apps can be slower, less intuitive, and inaccessible through app stores. Additionally, your users won’t have your web app’s icon automatically downloaded to their home screens, so they won’t be constantly reminded to use your app.

Hybrid Applications

A hybrid application combines elements of both native and web applications. Hybrid apps can be distributed through the app stores just like a native app, and they can incorporate operating system features. Hybrid apps are typically easier and faster to develop than native apps. They also require less maintenance. On the other hand, the speed of your hybrid app will depend completely on the speed of the user’s browser. This means hybrid apps will almost never run as fast as a native app runs.

Progressive Web Application (PWA)

PWAs are nothing but websites that are developed to be responsive for the mobile users. The most cost effective of the lot, PWAs are also on a much safer spot when the time comes and the app bubble finally bursts. Also, since they need no installation on the device, they are ideal for the users who suffers with low memory space syndrome. However, the biggest reason that has kept businesses at bay is their dependency on the internet connectivity. And since they are not installed on the Play Store or Apple Store, they lose out on the chance of app monetization.

Why Mobile Applications Are Important?

The growth of mobile is clear and indisputable. And if you’re still not among those who exploit this platform for marketing, it’s time to think about its effectiveness. Why not use the opportunity to reach your customers with a mobile app? Brands such as Nivea, Starbucks, Ikea, and McDonalds have led campaigns, loyalty programs, and VR experiences with awe-inspiring mobile strategies.

For the businesses mobile apps can keep your customers connected to your brand, help your business stay organized, and what is more important, help your business become more recognizable.

Benefits Of Mobile Applications

Mobile applications will help you deliver value to your consumer. You can use apps that solve routine tasks (Nike Run Club) or Loyalty apps such as Starbucks Rewards. Solving daily problems is not only about performing complicated functions. It’s also about entertaining your users and performing tasks related to their hobbies such as games and online streaming. Additionally, they are also useful for notifications to send your service offers, new products, activities, and updates. With the rise of chatbots, users will communicate with your brand via different messengers.

Lastly, the more people and customers install your application the more you will be able to grow your business. The mobile application will let your customers use the services 24/7 including e-commerce services with secure payment gateway options. To conclude, mobile applications:
