With half of humanity expected to own a smartphone by 2020, companies worldwide are scrambling to promote and sell their products and services via business apps. Apps – of all genres – are earning billions of dollars in revenue for their developers. Only the most innovative and well-made apps ever make any money, though. Here are some of the top mobile app development trends developers are embracing in an attempt to build successful, money-making products: GPS Support Having GPS support is now essential for mobile apps. GPS tracking allows developers and businesses to provide customers with location-based services (LBS). Customers can also navigate their surroundings better and faster. The Internet of Things Billions of devices are now connected to the web, including TVs, fridges, lights, and even cars. In 2017, the number of apps that have IoT support integrated is expected to rise through the roof. Security to be Critical The majority of applications on both Google Play and Apple’s iOS store don’t follow recommended security guidelines, like HTTPS. Both Apple and Google are beginning to crack down on developers that don't make safety a priority. Hybrid Applications Employees worldwide bring phones of different brands to work (BYOD). Further, they want to be able to access the enterprise-level software through them. Hybrid technology is being used to create web service software that can be accessed via both phones and computers. Focus on User-Friendly Design User-friendliness is a core metric every developer needs to measure. In 2017, we’re expecting developers to create software that offers a very high level of user experience. Clunky user interfaces, slow loading screens, and poor performance will no longer be tolerated. Artificial Intelligence Machine learning is going to be a defining feature of some software in 2017. Personalised recommendations, advanced predictions, and mood-based experiences are some of the top trends we expect this year. Not only will this benefit the users, but it will also help companies provide a higher UX. Any product you're developing must be both feature-rich, well designed and include leading-edge features to be a success. You can improve your chances of success by tying up with an experienced mobile app development company.
