Content is also important for an app, you can integrate your blog or your YouTube channel in your app, but that only works if you have existing content.

Grasp your customers’ attention:-
Mobile applications make a platform where people can easily interact with their desired brands, but you have to know what your customer’s interest is. Apps provide us a new kind of user experience and a different feel than the webpage or website, which results in the real engagement between customers and the business. Customers spend more money and time in apps as compared to websites, and they come back more times to app as compare to website.

How User Research Ensures Better App Performance?

The market of mobile app development is increasing remarkably in the last few years, and it is also expected to continue expanding in the future as well. According to the Gartner prediction, there will be more than 310 billion applications downloaded by the end of 2016. Developing a successful high end mobile app is not an easy task in this competitive mobility world.

Another report of Gartner has predicted that, in 2018, most of the consumer mobile applications will fail to become a financially successful app. Great apps start by giving more importance to the most important person in the market: the end user. Therefore, to make your app popular in the crowded mobility world, one needs to give a lot of efforts in “user research” while working on a well-planned development strategy. Let’s look towards those strategies....

Target Your Market First:-

First of all, target the market and also be determined what kind of experience you are going to provide to them. By conducting the user research, you could understand your market problem and the need of the market. Directly deal with a single problem that is very common to your user base, and solve that problem in such a way that gives clear importance to them.

Provide a customized user experience:-

Think about your user’s needs and use those to figure out the way your product works. A user-friendly interface does not only signify that it is easy to use. It also means that it is taking the user’s demand into consideration first or not.

Be focused on the core experience that users will have. Solving several small problems effectively will help your users, but solving one big problem really well will delight them. If your app is able to do many things that may not make it successful, your application has to go the extra mile in order to please a user. Always be cautious about adding the new features to your app without considering the impact they could have on its core experience.

Focus on Enhanced Experience:-

Now a days, the companies are focusing more on enhancing the performance of existing services (better user experience), not on introducing new. Take an example of “Ola “, they are not selling a car service; selling a smooth experience that enables user to book a ride in an easy manner, with the touch of a button. The company like “Ola” knows that the first interaction that a user will have with its application creates the step for the rest of that brand, customer relationship and keep the thing interactive with every interaction that they will have with its app in the future. So it’s vital to recognize exactly who your audience is and how good you can fulfill their needs through your app.

Ensure Data Security Across Networks, Devices and Clouds:-

In present time, the cloud computing has earned a great importance. It has influenced the way the data is accessed. So it is very important to ensure the seamless and secure flow of data between mobile devices, the cloud and the data center. Security is the prime concern if you are developing a banking app or financial app as users expects secure app from your end.

Choosing the platform:-

Choosing the right platform for your app is also an important thing for its success. Identify the right audience and target users who match your demographic criteria. According to that, you have to choose the platform, whether it can be in android, in iOS or in any other platform.

Mobile App Development Trends To Look Out For In 2016

The Mobile app development industry is booming and continuing its progress year by year.  We have seen so many trends in mobility in the year 2015, maturing from tablets to wearable devices and Internet of Things. In 2015, we have seen an increased focus on analytical app and also marketing app.

By the recent researches, it has shown that the Apple App Store has accepted 1000 apps per day in 2015. And, also it has been predicted that the total number of Smartphone users may cross 2.15 billion in 2016, which means an annual growth of 13%. As we are in the last quarter of 2015, this is the best time to give brief information about the upcoming trends of mobile app in 2016.

App Security:-

As per Gartner’s prediction, it has seen that 3 out of 4 mobile apps have failed for basic security tests in 2015. And, security is the main issue that app developers have struggled to find out throughout the year and also the focus will remain in 2016 as well. Apple’s iOS 9 and Google’s Android Marshmallow have already included their high-end security protocol. Those apps which are storing highly sensitive personal information, in that developers simply cannot give polish over the security gaps in their applications.

Wearable Technology:-

Google Glass might have come and gone, wearable Technology was one of the hottest topics in tech and consumer electronics industries in 2015.Wearable device’s apps are mostly focused on the healthcare industry, but by the beginning of 2016 Wearable devices are expected to be used by the enterprises to improve their productivity and efficiency.Developers will be transferring their own concentration from Smartphones to wearable device applications for enterprise and various industries in 2016.

Cloud Technology:-

Like 2015, cloud technology will continue to play an essential role in mobile app development in 2016.With the rise in the usage of multiple mobile devices and wearable devices, developers have to give importance on the ability to incorporate and synchronize their apps on multiple devices.The cloud technology will help developers to work on functionalities that can be used on any mobile device with the same functions, features and data.

Shorter app development cycles:-

As the demand of mobile app is increasing, the mobile app development companies will start focusing on the rapid development that means reducing the time frame between ideation to launch. A faster app development time frame will allow companies to survive in this fiercely competitive domain. The absence of delays will satisfy clients too.

Growing popularity of enterprise App:-

It has been predicted that, in 2016, 35% of all big enterprises are expected to have their own app development platform. And, for the reason of that third party enterprise developers are standing to gain the profit in such a scenario. In fact, at present over 42% enterprise app developers have monthly revenue of $ 10000, as because of growing such popularity of enterprise app. So, in 2016, there will be a great opportunity for mobile app developers for developing applications for the Enterprise market.

Key Differences Between iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus

Apple’s mobiles are becoming more popular in the world of the mobile market. In the first quarter of 2015,a survey conducted on smartphone by Kantar WorldpanelComTechsays the iPhone has a 20.3% market share of the mobile market in Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. After the release of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at its annual launch event in San Francisco, Apple fans are so much eager to know about those two models.

The iPhone 6s looks similar to the iPhone 6s Plus, which makes knowing the comparison between iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus a little bit tough. When iPhone 6s looks very similar to iPhone 6s Plus, then how iPhone 6s differs from iPhone 6s Plus, and which one is preferred?

If you have the same doubt that which one is better to buy, then this comparison will help you to choose the perfect one.

Display:-

The new iPhone 6s comes with the same size and resolution that iPhone 6 has, 4.7 inches and 1334x750 pixels (326ppi),but the iPhone 6S Plus comes with a larger screen 5.5-inch (1080x1920 pixels).The iPhone 6s has a superior 1400:1 contrast ratio, and on the other hand, iPhone 6s Plus comes with 1300:1 contrast ratio. But when comes to pixel density, the iPhone 6s Plus is best compared to iPhone 6s because the iPhone 6s Plus is having 401 ppi, whereas iPhone 6s is having 326 ppi. It is very tough to differentiate the higher pixel density of iPhone 6s plus unless you have a sharp eye. In display part, both models have ‘3D touch’.

Camera Differences:-

In camera, both iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have same "Face Time HD" front camera. This camera has a 5 megapixel sensor, an f/2.2 aperture, and can record 720p video. The main difference in camera is that both do have an “iSight” camera, but “iSight” camera on the iPhone 6s Plus includes optical image stabilization for both video and still photos.

Battery Life Differences:-

Battery life is another important difference between iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus. Comparatively iPhone 6s plus is physically larger than iPhone 6s, so the Apple was able to place a larger capacity battery inside iPhone 6s plus. The iPhone 6s Plus provides longer standby time, up to 16 days, compared to just 10 days by iPhone 6s.

Which One To Choose?

It’s very tough to tell that which one is better in between iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus, it’s totally depends on the users. The device size is the most important criteria. If you prefer to use your mobile with one hand, the iPhone 6s is a better choice than the iPhone 6s Plus. And, also iPhone 6s is cheaper than iPhone 6s Plus. But,if your mobile usage consists heavily of reading, watching video, and gaming and navigating between apps, then iPhone 6s Plus is better for you.

Revolution in the Automotive World by Apple with iCar

The automotive world is having involvement of different types in this year. These involvements were not being started by Chinese car companies or Uber entering the automobile market. However,these concerns have been accomplished by the fact that Apple Inc. may be entering into the automobile industry by developing its own car.

If Apple is going to develop a car, that car would be highly sophisticated like their software and hardware has so far been.It would be extremely stylish and innovative like their mobile phones that they used to develop over the years.The car would be more advanced than their phones.For that, the company has taken different steps that have hinted that there would be a possibility of developing a car.

Features of Apple’s iCar:-

1) Windshield features four times as many pixels as reality

2) Incorporation with Apple Gasoline

3) The driver is prompted to sign into the iCloud before each gear shift

4) Compatible with most major roads

5) Suggests new driving speeds based on user’s past favorites

6) Windshield cracks easily, though car typically still works fine afterwards

7) The sticker price of $85,000 drops to $199 with two-year Verizon contract

8) Wheels turn into rainbow pinwheels whenever car stalls

9) Lightweight but powerful enough to careen across six lanes of traffic and through guardrails of the overpass

10) Comes with a large number of cool Apple stickers.

News around the motor world has suggested that Apple has been finding automotive experts from other companies to be assisted in their preparations. Apple has hired so many automobile experts from different companies like Mercedes and Tesla and also other companies in the motor world. Apple has already taken some test drive on the public road in San Francisco.The company has had several discussions with California DMV and GoMentum Station. The GoMentum is having a naval base just outside of San Francisco. And, that base is supposed to have 20 miles of everyday public transport situations for Apple to test its cars on, including highways. They have set some armed soldiers patrolling on that base at all times to stop anyone getting a look inside.

The news of making a car by Apple would surely cause huge waves in the motor world. This is as because of the fact that Apple is a high-quality software and hardware developer.So if the company uses the same radical technological concepts that they have used in the phone industry, then it is clear that they are going to develop incredible features like self-driving capabilities.

When Apple iCar will be released?

We don’t have any solid conclusion about whether the iCar will be released or not, but some reports have still wondered about the iCar release date. Of course, there is nothing exact, The Wall Street Journal, however, says that the Apple Car could appear as soon as 2020.

So it is the best chance to develop an iPhone app that will be fitted with Carplay feature to integrate into the iCar. FuGenX is the best iPhone app development company providing mobile app development services in India, Kuwait, UK, and USA.We develop application for all the verticals including retail, real estate, manufacturing, insurance, travel and many more.We are having very much skillful iOS app development team who has numerous auspicious experiences in this apps development field.We are also having services like android app development, windows app development, mobile game development etc.
