5 major application trends that mobile game developers need to pay attention to

He likes to write about technology, marketing and industry trends. He is very passionate about technology and likes to explore new things.

It’s undeniable that the entire mobile app landscape is undergoing a massive change; we don’t need developers to remind us. When we stop for a moment and go through some of the important mobile app trends that developers will encounter in the near future, everything will become clearer. Here are the top 5 important mobile app trends that can give you a clearer perspective:

Trend 1: Cloud applications will become more popular

Cloud based mobile applications will continue to bring more benefits to users and therefore have considerable development prospects. Initially, these applications will allow users to access data from any location and at any time. This means that end users such as some enterprises can use the application to collaborate in real time; they can also use the application to process data in real time and make some of the most important business decisions.

Hardware and software independence is another major benefit of cloud applications, which can work on multiple platforms and provide a unified UI and UX. This also allows users to add computer resources including processors, additional memory and bandwidth to meet their specific needs. In addition, these flexible and scalable solutions can also help companies maximize their return on investment.

Trend 2: Cross-platform tools are growing

Cross-platform mobile app development tools are becoming more and more popular in the market. People's acceptance of cross-platform tools is also increasing, and more and more developers are adopting these tools. The number of developers using this tool has increased from 23% to 30% in the past few months.

More and more people are adopting these tools, especially those who create applications for mass businesses, including but not limited to media and entertainment companies, small, medium and large companies, and anyone who wants to reach their potential users and provide them with a level playing field.

With the emergence of a large number of such tools today, more developers are beginning to use these applications to create platform-independent applications for their end users. These tools can solve many problems faced by application development companies.

Chief among these issues is cash flow; using these tools they can easily create an app without investing too much money, and distribute it to different platforms without having to write code from scratch.

At the same time, new cross-platform tools are more interesting because they offer better performance and functionality. Although they are still in their early stages, these tools can reduce the complexity associated with high-quality and versatile application development. Cross-platform tools are just as useful as creating different development teams for specific platforms (and therefore can save you a lot of money).

Trend 3: Enterprise apps will be more profitable than consumer apps

According to a study by Developer Economics, "43% of enterprise app developers make $10,000 more per month than 19% of consumer app developers." There are many reasons for this. For example, businesses are always more willing to spend money on apps because it can boost their productivity and increase their profit margins.

Most enterprise applications are customized to meet the specific needs of different companies. This includes applications developed to increase company sales and applications that promote products and services to different customers. Even internal social applications are developing rapidly along with various production applications.

Trend 4: Android will overtake iOS

Android has always been in a fierce competition with iOS, and this situation will not change in the short term. On the contrary, this competition will take a completely new turn. Right now, Android is gradually catching up with iOS due to its continuous development and changes. We can see this change in the market share of the two mobile phone platforms. So what is Android's game plan?

Android is working to reduce fragmentation, which is probably one of the biggest challenges they face. Doing so will allow them to collect more data and make more money. It is estimated that the ratio of Android and iOS users in the world will be 4:1. This means that the application development for the platform must continue to meet the needs of the growing user base. At the same time, developers are constantly working to create more applications for Android Wear, the Android-based smartwatch that came out before the Apple Watch and has already made some money.

Trend 5: Wearable applications

Wearable apps are no longer an unknown territory for developers; starting with Google Glasses and Fitness Bands, and now moving to smartwatches like Android Wear and Apple Watch. Today’s smartwatches still rely on smartphones to function. But in the near future, we will definitely see standalone smartwatches, which will also drive the development of app development in various ways.

Designing apps for wrist devices is very different from designing apps for handheld devices. Developers and designers need to consider the additional functionality and capabilities of these devices, especially considering how to create an app that is attractive enough on a small screen.

in conclusion

Cloud-based applications, enterprise applications, cross-platform tools, Android overtaking iOS, and creating applications for wearable devices are all trends that developers cannot ignore. At the same time, they still need to pay attention to technological advances and focus on user stickiness to create innovative mobile applications as before.
