First, let me ask you a question, why do you think you need a mobile application? I believe one can easily answer this if they are aware of the revolutionizing digital landscape. Business and applications, have surely become one hell of a pair, the former entity I don’t think cannot advance without the aid of the latter one.

Having websites for business has become a traditional practice, but are you going beyond the desktop users? Surely, you need some special tactics to make the approach a little better and professional.

The word ‘trend’ itself speaks about development; in this blog, we will learn about few mobile application trends that will continue to rule 2017.

What are the 5 Mobile Application Trends?

• Accelerated Mobile Pages
  • Is your mobile website fast?
  • You have a mobile application representing your business, but have you given a thought about the user-experience? And I’ll bet you wouldn’t have. More than having an application it is necessary to see whether it is reaching the audience in a suitable way.
  • In other words, the performance or you can say the speed of your mobile application is in question here. Google brought in the concept AMP to deal with the slow loading pages of a mobile application. AMP short for accelerated mobile pages is actually built with three core components, AMP HTML, AMP JS, and AMP Cache.
  • In simple words, web pages designed under AMP will have a faster loading speed than regular HTML pages.
• (AR) Augmented reality & (VR) Virtual reality
  • Once a part of entertainment industry, today these technologies are completely deviating towards the digital business world. Why? Experience the better, well, I’m not telling you this, but, this is how businesses are being promoted today. And to suffice those words, AR and VR are being extensively utilized.
  • These emerging technologies that promise users with better visual experience will definitely unlock compelling market for the e-commerce business.
• Cloud-Driven Mobile Apps
  • Cross-compatibility is what gives the mobile app an actual platform to reach every audience group. Web developers thrive hard to make that possible for every device, every OS, and every platform.
  • Such a monstrous task, but developers will definitely find it easy to achieve if they go with cloud infrastructure. The word cloud computing has surely become the most powerful and reliable, as one can easily streamline the development process. Currently, the words big data, app development and testing (DevOps) are gaining considerate importance in the course of cloud-driven mobile application development.
  • Under cloud infrastructure, the data are stored externally and are accessed over the internet through a browser.
• Artificial Intelligence
  • A lot of companies are investing in AI, do you know why? Because they know it is the future. A machine interpreting the problems similar to humans, then we can definitely say we have witnessed artificial intelligence.
  • Chatbots, if you have heard or ever interacted with it, then you will understand why they are being extensively utilized. Every major retail giant is making use of this advanced technology as their powerful business tool.
  • Nowadays, users are demanding more personalization in their interaction with the business models, and what else other than AI can support that?
• Wearable Devices
  • Google Daydream View, Apple Watch Series 1, Pebble 2, and much more, but are you aware of these things? If you are new, then let me enlighten you. These are wearable devices, which can become the frontier in forming the future of mobile app development.
  • Wearable devices have progressed beyond health care industry by setting its foot in much bigger business, which is the e-commerce.
  • Smartphones and smart wearable devices, surely the combination looks appealing enough in providing user-centric services. But do they really give? Well, only time will show.
