MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN 2017 Nowadays the emphasis was on Enterprise applications, IoT, smart machines, VR and wearable’s among others. Some of these styles will stay in 2017 and there will be a shift in focus for some others.

Mobile application development trends to look out for:

1. Focus on Security By 2017, 70% of mobile security breaks will be because of app misconfiguration. While technology is moving at quick speed, there is always a reality that the average user is not that clever. According to a review accompanied by Transunion’s Cyber Security, more than 80 million smartphone users confess that while they are scared of cyber-attacks, they have not set a PIN for their smartphones. Such a simple and basic security check is disregarded. Instead of continuing to be stunned by results like this, app developers will see a lot of benefit from looking for ways to meet the increased need for security through their apps.

2. Enterprise Apps Research on 2016 pointed to a remarkable increase in Enterprise expenditure on mobile apps. But a report earlier this year suggests that the real spending for such enterprises. There is a gap between the demand and supply.

A good example of enterprise apps is a CRM mobile application that can pull up the appropriate customer information quickly and at the same time keeps high-ranking management updated about the stage at which the sales process is. The need for such apps is very higher 3. IoT and Mobile Applications The potential of IoT and mobile apps is marvelous and is here to stay. The applications extend from smart healthcare to the energy sector, transportation systems, security and many more. Addition of IoT with apps is taking what is possible to the next level. IoT is exploding and it is made of billions of devices.

It is expected that we will go from 2 billion objects to a predictable 200 billion by 2025.

4. Cross Platform App Development With the increase of devices, the average user wants to use an application irrespective of the device he/she started using it on. The typical user uses two devices at a time and it will become a basic necessity very soon that users can change among mobile, desktop, tablets and wearable’s without any barricade. Performance, features, competences from any app are going to be device agnostic.

5. Emphasis on UX is going Strong The reputation of UI and UX design is not going to lose any importance for the predictable future. With decreasing responsiveness periods and harder competition, UI/UX can make all the difference amongst winning and losing. Extraordinary focus on competence with applications that fit into the apple watch as easily and effortlessly as they would on the desktop only makes the challenge tougher.

If you are scheduled to build a custom mobile app which is compatible with both the OS, consider to go for a custom app development Company.
