A mobile application is a program or software application which is designed to run on handset device such as Mobile phone, tablet or other smart devices. Applications are downloaded from digital distribution platforms which is called a App store.

Mobile application Features:

If you are giving focus on building up career on mobile application development then you must have to get understand the following term. Let's find out what they are .....

 

1. Simplicity:

Mobile application features are needed to develop with simplicity as much as it possible. Most of the people have short attention spans and they are losing their interest over the application which is navigated with difficulty. Easy and quick access of information can help your mobile application to collect more customer/user.

2. Speed:

Mobile application pages are needed to be loaded with quick access . Taking too much time to load pages are painful through the users. Some features might help to improve application speed performance like (using a CDN to accelerate APIs, Resize images , avoid unnecessary data also resize cache)

3. Image resolution

Good resolution of images refers the sharpness and clarity of an image.  Higher resolution of images make your mobile application beautiful and attractive to the users. But give notice over the size cause higher resolution needs more pixels into linear inch.

4. Security:

Mobile application security is very important as the user are providing the data about their sensitive information or debit and card details. Some features might help in this case (encrypt data , write secure code , use authorized APIs only , ensure high level authentication.

5. Flexible:

Mobile application is needed to make available in three mobile operation system such as iOS, Android and windows. It will help to make the user comfortable and help them to use it with more flexibility.

6. Push notification:

Plug-in the push notification option on application while it is helping to send messages to the user and customer in which they are really interested.

7. User feedback:

The best way to evaluate the performance of mobile application is to collect the feedback from the users. Feedback is the perfect way to get the opinion form your customers to add and delete services form your mobile application.

8. Updates:

According to the users feedback mobile applications are needed to make update. By sending a new push notification you can remind users about doing the application updated and use the latest version.

Challenges of mobile application:

1. Understand user needs:

Mobile application users need are changing day by day so the developer must have to understand the user needs very well according with the time. As the mobile application industry is now providing high competitive marketing approach. So it is become tough to get stand and noticed by the users. The art of innovation is now creating the fact between multiple services.

2. High competitive market:

The market of mobile applications are now becoming more high competitive than any other previous time. Now the similar kinds of services are provided by the multiple people. So according with the time the developer thought also needed to make innovated.

3. Resource allocation:

To build up a mobile application, resource allocation is the great challenge. The cost of developing a mobile application depends on it's nature. In order to building up the application the developers have to face great challenge on managing the resources and funds.

4. Security:

Security issue is a great challenge for a developer to manage and run a mobile application. The developers are facing following threats like:

              1. Reverse engineering (it's basically use to rebuild the model from the main physical product to understand the process and method about the application to break down the souce code)

              2. Extracting sensitive information

              3. Inserting malicious code and redistributing the application

              4. Observing unencrypted network traffic.

5. Analyze application performance:

The mobile application performance has got vary user by user. All the user aren't evaluate the performance of mobile application through the same way. For some users application performance are good or some others are indicated as poor. It's happening according to the mobile device. So build up the mobile application to make adjust with the whole users is similarly look like impossible.

6. Development technology:

The world has not settled in one specific place , it's moving and upgrading day by day. So as a result the latest amount of technology is peeping every single day. Thousand of innovative thoughts are running on the developers mind. So build up a mobile application is got the threat of innovative technology . If the features of the mobile application are not been updated to make adjust with the current technology , then after few days it will be out of market.

7.  Customer/user review:

Mobile application life cycle has a great impact of customer/user review. Positive review helps to increase more downloading the application. Research by Apptentive shows theat 50% of mobile users are not considering an app with a 3 star rating. 85% no. of users are dropping for 2 star rating.

 

This mobile application blog is specially for the beginners who are interested to build up their career on technology and want to learn more about mobile application features and challenges. This one help you to analyze your market demand and which services you need to include into prior basis during the time of building apps. Here I have tried to use the easy way to make explain about the things as it will become easier to understand. The final word is that a complex mobile application might draw a few amount of negative review but it will also remain unsuccessful to grab huge number of users.
