App Development 101: What You Should Know

Posted by Unknown On 1/05/2015
One of the more popular tools that people use nowadays are apps. This is due to the fact that such instruments give smartphones a new breadth of interactivity and convenience. In fact, businesses have been busy developing apps. That said, it is essential for businesses that want in on the action to keep abreast with a few key principles when developing an app
Once you’ve thought about its function, you should focus on determining what platforms people can use to access your app. This is crucial, as most people who use apps are those who have smartphones, and the operating systems (OS) of their phones vary—the top three being Android, and Windows. Hence, you should design an app that can be used on any of these systems or even all three of them, if necessary.

On that note, most app developers stick to one or two systems as they are gauging how people would respond to their product. Apps designed exclusively for iOS, for instance, give users a sense of pride as such apps are only available to those who have iPhones; the same goes for Android-exclusive apps. As such, you should also determine which market you want to cater to when creating an app. After all, each platform can work for your app as a promotional tool, so careful consideration is essential for a successful app campaign.

Why Should Your Business Have a Mobile App?

Posted by Unknown On 6/17/2014
Everywhere you go, you see them—people tapping away at their smartphones and tablets. Indeed, what was once a pipe dream is now a reality: computers that fit in the palm of your hands, giving you access to information anytime, anywhere.
A huge part of smartphones’ and tablets’ convenience are apps, bite-sized applications that people launch with a tap of the finger. According to the Google Think Country data sheet, more than 70% of Australians use apps on a daily basis. With such a large audience, it’s not surprising that many businesses have launched their own mobile apps. Doing so offers many important benefits, such as:
It’s Faster
Online users are not a patient bunch, which is why mobile apps are such a boon. With apps, information is stored within the application, so you don’t have to download them as you would when visiting a business’ website.

Branding, Branding, Branding
Aside from their convenience, apps are also useful for branding purposes. Think of it this way: if people are on their smartphones all the time, wouldn’t you want visibility on their device via an app?

Easier to Use

Experienced app developers custom-tailor mobile apps for maximum usability on tablets and smartphones. Whether a consumer wants to browse through your products or make a purchase, all they have to do is pinch, flick and swipe to accomplish this.

The Ever Growing Importance of Mobile Apps

Posted by Unknown On 5/13/2014
Australia's digital economy is on the rise, as the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) reveals in a 2012-2013 study. Mobile usage is steadily increasing, and with it, ease in mobile access to accommodate the continuously evolving needs of Australian consumers. In addition, the prevalence of smartphones, up by 29% from May 2012, makes mobile applications more beneficial for most businesses.

 Mobile apps, as they're usually called, often offer information that consumers want on demand. Users may want to learn more details about a brand's specific product, or get helpful tips to aid them in their everyday lives. Some may even want to discuss a product’s or service's attributes, and share what they know with other users. Others may like to browse through special deals and promotions when shopping for what they need.

When users find apps that relate to their needs and desires, more often than not, they become loyal to the brand, and feel that the brand understands them more than any other. Though app developers can make programs that focus on games and entertainment, brand managers should understand that apps need to be specially designed to be an effective part of their mobile marketing strategy. A fancy app cannot help the brand without the proper integration of all the elements needed to enhance users’ experience. Those who understand this concept can do what is necessary to win the mobile marketing race.

How iPhone Apps are Developed

Posted by Unknown On 4/13/2014
Ever wondered how those fun, useful, and sometimes cheeky mobile applications are created? Developers all over the world are churning out hundreds of apps virtually every day, and one might wonder how it is done. Fortunately for you, here’s a generalized and simplified rundown of the process:
Step One: task assessment. Commercially affiliated developers are usually given a design brief to serve as their main guide, including a technical summary of what the app should do and how it should function. This is the developer’s “homework stage”, where countless hours of research is required.
Step Two: competitor analysis/inspiration search. Developers carefully observe the market where they’ll put the app. Chances are, there are hundreds, or even thousands of competitors, and it is their job to make their project stand out. They either test out the competition to get ideas, and take note of the current leader’s strengths and weaknesses.
Step Three: development proper & testing. This is where the developer churns out the app’s first prototypes. Trial and error is critical to them at this point, as they usually work hand in hand with the client during this stage. This is where the app’s beta testing and initial release also occurs.

Step Four: Feedback gathering, editing, and finalization. The developer gathers user reviews, takes note of them and tweaks the app in the process. After fixing bugs and improving the interface, the app is finalized, and finally put up on the market.
