So, the questions arise, why are applications so popular now? What trend has caused such a sudden spurt in the rate of growth at which applications are launched on the app stores? The answer is pretty simple and straightforward. Mobility and Effectiveness.

Reasons for Popularity of MobileApplication Development

1.     Increase Effectiveness of Communication

Applications are basically designed to simplify day to day that a smart device performs. Not all of us are expert at coding. This makes it virtually impossible for us to communicate with computing devices. Applications allow us to communicate with machines in a more humane way. These applications allow the users to connect with the machine in a more intuitive and natural manner that is easy to teach. This reduces the overall time taken by a user to understand and start using the software/machine.

2.     Wider Reach

Studies suggest that nearly 2.53 billion people on the planet will own a smartphone by 2018. That is, over one-third of the world’s population will have access to a smartphone device. Most working professionals usually carry two or more smartphones one for personal use and the other one for professional use.

With such a large number of smart devices spread across the globe, the smartphone is capable of connecting people from one pole to the other in a few seconds. The use of an intuitive app interface further expands the reach of the smartphone by allowing people to use it more frequently and easily.

3.     Cultivating Business

The need for professional mobile application developers is rising because these applications serve as an effective medium for developing a business. Most of the large and small-scale business owners now employ an application to connect with their customers in a better way.

These applications allow the business owners to collect valuable feedback from their customers and help them provide better services.

The application itself serves as a business proposition for several companies in the IT and computing industries. It provides a means of revenue for the application owner by allowing him/her to post advertisements and promotional campaigns.

4.     Ease of Application Development Process

The entire application development process is fairly simplified thanks to the constant development in the field of building frameworks for the development process. Mobile app developers are coming up with better ways to develop and test their applications at lower costs. Also, these developers have managed to reduce the life cycle for research and development for an application.

This way, the developers are able to provide faster, more effective and more secure applications in a very short period. Unlike in the past where only the privileged companies of the industry could afford an application developer, the services are commonly available via various dedicated companies.

5.     Advancements and Integration Within the IT Industry

The constant advancement in the IT industry is one of the governing factors of why the app stores are saturated with so many similar applications. Every new feature that an IT company launches needs new integration modules to work in sync with the existing applications. For example, apps on the Apple app store need optimization for the latest iPhone X so that they can use the full 5.8-inch AMOLED display.

Also, app developers are working towards a goal of providing a true hands-free experience on the interface by integrating support for the popular Google Assistant and Siri voice assistants.

Needless to say, nowadays mobile application development companies are available in large numbers. However, only a handful of them truly expertise at providing top-notch services to their clients. The best developers work in teams to provide comprehensive Android as well as iPhone app developmentservices.
