Factors to Boost In-App Engagement: Covering grey area of app development





The situation which can lead to disengagement of the customers can be faced even after brainstorming on the concept, design and development of a state of the art mobile app. 

Number of Active Users on the App is what defines the engagement of an App. The ratings pertain to be on a higher side for the apps crossing 10+ sessions per month.

The matter of fact to be noted here is, if in case the app is opened only once in 7 days then it clearly states that there is 60% probability of it being opened and used again. 

Sustenance of an App in such competitive market is a matter of concern for many of us. The solution to this is In App Engagement which has been rightly developed to invoke Customer Loyalty.


Push Notifications:
Push Notifications has proven to be one of the best possibilities of engaging the app users. The major objective of using Push Notification is drawing users back to your app. The added feature is the customization of the notifications which can be flexible as per the target audience. Customization of the notifications can be based on varied factors including past preferences, behavior, and engagement with the app. Push Notifications can help your visitors with a definite reason to return and revisit your app.

App Updates:
Striking up with an exceptional app with proper maintenance of its relevance to the context, it is essentially significant to constantly update the app adding on the new experiences and new features. Up gradation of the app is based more on the feedback of the users as that help in the best possible way to find out the loopholes and rectify the same. Update of the apps require deciding and finalizing on the new features to be included in the app which then requires a lot of analytics, tracking user behavior and the features that helps in driving the usage. Retaining the users on app with the proper renovation of the app is a tedious task.

Incentives:
The safest way of driving and maintaining the engagement of users is to offer them with the incentives. Offering the users with rewards, discount coupons, gifts, privileged content access, customized promotions can lead your app to drive high engagement levels. The incentive type which needs to be provided to the users solely depends on the app’s nature. The design of the incentive should be done keeping in mind, the target audience and their interaction with the app.

Personalisation:
One of the best experiences to be offered to the users can be a personalised one through the app. The best and the easiest way of personalizing the app is to include username and display a picture. The other way out can also be through sending the notifications which suits the best to the preference of the user. Asking the app users about their choice of content can also help you to decide which kind of content can be used and which type of content can be avoided.

Core Value Proposition :
While your app is in transit of reaching its final development destination, bombarding all the features at the same time never turns out to be effective. If this is being done, you might lose a chance of knowing user’s priority of each feature. Analysing and understanding the core problem with an accurate solution is what needs to be done from your end. Post this you can precede with adding on new features. This will help you know the priority of the users. On satisfying users’ most prioritised problems, the probability of users using the app regularly increases.

 Conclusion:
Brainstorming on strategy at the time of app engagement will help to conceptualize the app. With increasing app retention, the App Engagement can be treated as a cure for this problem.

An Overview of Mobile App Development Life-cycle

Mobile applications and their usage are increasing day by day. It looks like even sky is not a limit for them. Let’s tour around the process of how a mobile app is envisioned, designed, defined and launched for the users worldwide. There is a unique process for it, which is generally referred as mobile application development lifecycle which covers a complete top to bottom approach.






1) In-depth Market Research

Keep a close eye on what is trending now and what may be expected in near future.

Market research, popularly known as requirement gathering or scope analysis, is the core stepping stone in the lifecycle for the development of mobile applications, aiming to identify, the unique features and innovative functionalities that are required to make the app standout amongst competitors along with the most common usability based features that are must and expected by a large target audience.

The process of market research for your (or any) concept may look like a basic step but it is something that should never be overlooked. It’s a potential step towards gaining and sustaining the leadership in the market for your mobile app and hence make it not only popular but at the same time successful too. The purpose to find your correct target audience and provide them the required solution for their exact pain points and align the priorities of roadmap ahead is duly served by this process.

So let’s take a look at the key points to be considered in mind while doing the market research and creating a positive impact on your concept and its validation.
  • Core purpose of the app
  • Basic expectations from the app
  • Target audience and Key competitors
  • Technology stack and platform architecture
  • Completion period and timely launching
  • Budget and related expenses for launching and marketing
  • Boost conversion and sustain users
 2) Wireframes & Prototyping

Pen down your initial thoughts, iterate through your ideas and layout the blueprint.

The process of wire framing establishes the base for the designing of the app and sketching its layout. With iterations of ideas and revisions of design concepts, this phase ensures that a flawless UX is defined with a striking UI.

The purpose of prototyping is to go one step ahead of wire-framing and visualizing the interface design and experiencing the interactions of the app on real mobile devices. Let it be gathering the feedback, evaluate ideas, proof check the concept or realize the user interaction and behavior, prototype serves at every step.

Thus the process of wireframes and prototyping helps in building as well as strengthening the core idea and thereby establishing the perfect bridge between idea and execution to optimize the further process ahead.

3) Design and Development of the App

It’s time now to actually build and give your vision, the shape of reality. It’s bringing ideas to life.

This is the most important and highly prominent step of mobile application development lifecycle. It is the actual phase where all the ideas, sketches, blueprints and concepts comes up together and bind into a process of building the actual app.

The process includes designing the screens of the app based upon the sketches and wireframes, designing the layouts and front end for the app, defining the technology stack and platform, building up the client server model, designing the database and architecture and then finally programming the app with a combined effort of all the parts of the process.

The process of designing and development is divided and broken into sprints, also known as modules to work on step by step approach and manage the process smoothly.

4) Quality Assurance and Testing

Software never was perfect and won’t get perfect ever. But is that a license to create garbage? Quality always matters.

This is the process where final polishing and quality cleaning of the application in terms of design, user interface, user experience, user interaction as well as usability is performed and the results are compared to the expected outcome as per the quality standards.

The app is tested across various devices, platforms and operating systems. The app is tested under various possible environments and on different loads. The benchmark of performances are marked, improved and raised in this process. This phase completely assures that the product or the app is designed and built exactly the way it was envisioned and expected.

 5) Launching the App

It’s time to go and test the market. It’s time to give a tough fight to your competitors.

So after all the hustle and efforts, finally your dream, your vision, your idea is given the shape of reality by converting it into a mobile application which is well designed, flawlessly defined and quality assured. It’s now the time when you can upload the app on Apple and Google stores and make them available for the users worldwide to download and install the app and use them for the purpose it was built.

Swift - The Next Generation Programming Language


For now Swift is most in-demand programming language.

Yes, I’m talking about Apple’s Swift, which is first introduced at Apple Inc. 2014 Worldwide Developers conference (WWDC). Apple Swift developed as a general purpose, multi – paradigm & compiled programming language for iOS, watchOS, macOS, tvOS and Linux.

As a developers point of you, it’s tough to decide which programming language to choose for a mobile app. Picking the right programming language is depending on type of app which you are going to build.

Swift builds on the best of C and objective-C reduction the consistency issue of C

Swift become a next generation programming language. Swift programming jobs to makes programming more flexible and easy way. Swift include a lot of features like generics, closures, type inference etc…

        “Related blog :- The swift programming language book


Have a look the best feature of swift to become the next generation programming language,

1) Swift is a Secure Programming Language

Mobile application security has become a serious issue in the mobile app ecosystem. But Swift has a useful on this front. Our mobile phone and tablets are important extensions of our lives and it contains everything about us. Hacker would need to hack our identification, saving or personal details and many more.

Swift take a nil code when writing a bad code by programmer. At that time swift marks it as a compile error.

It allows coders to compile and fix the error within the time of writing; which is a boon for bug testing.

Swift is a better or faster than Objective C while find bugs inside the app.

Include high security threads for Swift Language:-
SQL Injections
Reflected XSS
Buffer Overflows
Stored XSS and more...

2) Interactive coding with Swift Playgrounds


If you are programmers, you will defiantly appreciate the features of Swift Playgrounds. It provides more flexible programming experience for app developers by the use of Interactive coding with Swift Playgrounds.

They help you to write codes as faster as along with the data visualization of Swift. So, you can say that apple goes mile to making app development with this tool.

3) Swift provide enhanced readability with less coding

Second most lovable features of Swift are enhanced readability with less coding. Swift makes the clean syntax. Which make easy to reading and writing code for developers? Swift has highly reusable syntax which provides readability with less coding compared to Objective-C.

4) Ease in cross-platform App development

Swift works to optimize the search problematic codes for the developers. And also helps JavaScript or python programmers too easy to adopt Swift. If you are non-iOS developers no need to further explanations, easily you can understand the code written in Swift.

Conclusion:-

Swift is modern & full featured programming language which is secure programming language to make programming easier & more flexible. It builds on the best of C and objective-C reduction the consistency issue of C.

Rapid Mobile Application Development



Rapid Mobile Application Development (RMAD) is a term introduced by the analyst firm Gartner to describe user-friendly solutions that allow business professionals to build and deliver cross-platform mobile appsquickly and easily, increasing efficiency and time-to-market.
The Need for RMAD
The mobile application industry has witnessed its highest growth rate over the last five years and it is no surprise that there is a growing demand for quicker and more efficient solutions for mobile app development. However, the industry also has a high failure rate throughout the entire process of conception, creation, deployment, and management of mobile applications.
Companies are increasingly spending time and resources to develop their own apps to capitalize on the growth in the mobile app space. The potential for appealing to customers through apps and for use within enterprises is increasingly being recognized by companies. When this is combined with the growing bring your own device (BYOD) movement, businesses can transform themselves into highly efficient units, with corresponding increase in productivity.
However, the extended time and significant resources usually taken to build an app prevent many companies from building mobile apps. Even after spending time and resources, there is no guarantee that a company’s app will be adopted by more users. In addition, new technologies are being introduced at mind-boggling speeds, forcing businesses to innovate to remain relevant. Therefore, the time to capitalize on these innovative opportunities is smaller than ever.Within businesses,the number of enterprise app users is limited by the number of employees in the company, and therefore, creating and deploying native platform, feature-rich, extensive mobile apps doesn’t increase the number of users. Therefore, many companies are unwilling to partner with a developer and a mobile application development platform (MADP) to develop rich apps in a native environment.
Today’s enterprise environment is fundamentally being transformed by the convergence of cloud, mobile, social, and big data, and the economy’s “always-on” characteristic requires a high degree of connectivity across people, processes, data and devices.Technological advances in these areas are becoming increasingly more rapid. Therefore, it is imperative that businesses are able to develop, prototype, and deploy mobile apps much faster than before.
Under this backdrop, RMAD has come to the forefront, with many vendors providing their platforms forcompanies to use.With RMAD providing ‘low-code’ or ‘no-code’ offerings,virtually anyone (developer or not) can conceptualize, create, deploy, and manage mobile apps optimized for virtually every device, including tablets, smartphones, and desktops.
The Role of RMAD in Accelerating Mobile App Development
RMAD enables business owners or decision makers to get things done quickly by simplifying the process of creating an app, and it is easy to see why RMAD holds tangible benefits for many companies. To begin with, RMAD has made it possible to churn out functional apps much quicker, allowing companies to respond to new market developments as they occur, rather than in a few months down the line.
Since about 80% of IT budgets are spent on maintaining existing systems, there is little room for innovative projects aimed at capitalizing on new opportunities. However, companies need to identify and support projects that will drive future growth. When a company purchases an RMAD platform, such as Snapiior Sitrion One, the cost of creating additional apps reduces significantly. Companies can churn out additional apps at a fraction of what it would have cost before, and therefore, companies can look at innovative solutions without having to spend huge resources.
RMAD also provide seasoned developers a quick means for rapid prototyping. Relying solely on code can substantially increase the time required to build an app. Although there will always be a need for code, many IT teams are realizing that it’s not flexible enough and not suited for quickly delivering innovative apps.
Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst John Rymer notes: “If we rely solely on coding, we’re going to fail. It’s too slow. It’s too inflexible.” A recent study by Standish Group showed that a whopping 94% of large IT projects either fail, over-shoot the budget and schedule, or deliver below expectations due to various factors. With RMAD, IT departments can meet their project deadlines, while improving their overall quality; further, IT can also focus on projects most likely to help the enterprise grow, and company executives can better communicate with IT, empowering more IT projects to be successful.Using RMAD, companies can use low-code or no-code platforms to prototype apps, and if the idea is good, the app can be created through mobile developers.
RMAD lowers the entry barrier for novice developers seeking to enter the mobile app space. Novice developers with innovative ideas can use RMAD to construct functional apps without having to get into the details of the code.
However, companies looking at adopting RMAD should be mindful of a potential problem. A company with only a few apps can easily manage them, but managing numerous apps created for different needs can be quite challenging. As more apps are created, they can start to pile up and a company’s entire app ecosystem can become quite unmanageable. Businesses that adopt RMAD should also decide on how they will manage their apps. One solution is to use enterprise mobile application development platforms to keep track of apps, and manage who should use them and when.
Therefore, every organization or software development companies considering adopting RMAD should perform due diligence to determine if RMAD is right for their needs. If many apps are going to be created rapidly, management of those apps becomes a key issue that cannot be ignored, since at the very least, the apps will need to be updated. Therefore, companies looking to use RMAD for mobile app development should investigate different RMAD options, using rigorous selection criteria.

The app should be easy to operate and user friendly so that the user is attracted to use it. Any difficulties that the users may face to begin with could make things difficult for you. 

Make it error free 

Repeatedly test the app during the stages of its development to be sure that there is no snag or glitches when it is put to use. An app has to be 100% free from any defects and its fluidity of operation is the key to its success. Keep on refining and fine tuning and put the apps to the most severe test conditions so that there is practically no possibility of failure at a later stage. 

Marketing smartly 

If you want to succeed in the intense competition of the market, as an Android Development Company you will have to do out of the box thinking to innovate smart marketing strategies so that your app is visible to your target audience in a manner that lures him to buy it. Promoting your app the right way to make it appealing to the users is a big challenge. Use the social media to your advantage in making your app seen and felt by the users. 

The enormity of the Android development market is alluring thousands to explore their potential as an mobile app development company . The challenges are many and only the fittest will survive, therefore prepare well before you take the plunge.
