The world is getting more aware of the goodness of mobile apps and how it can help a business, startup or service to stride out all its market barriers and acquire plenty of customers. In view of the recent rage of mobile applications, this article talks about how an iOS app can be more beneficial for a business and make it a fortunate venture.

While most mobile users are drawn towards the chic iPhones loaded with premium features, launching an app rightly targeting the iOS devices can gain you a lot. You can be popular in a day and have a climbing number of customers for your products or services. No doubt, the tech giant Google has also been equally competent in revolutionising the domain of mobiles and showed up with trailblazing Android devices. Its massively popular ‘Play Store’ nearly has over 2.5 million of apps compared to that of 1.8 million in the Apple’s App Store, according to Statista. However, still, app marketers in Australia advocate the development of iPhone apps if a business wants to make its online presence globally felt.

 

Hereafter, pulling out the probable reasons from businesses and app experts, we’ve explained why iOS app development is more preferable, especially when one wants to make more money.

Promising customer experiences

In concern to the iPhones and iPad devices, users are always spellbound with their smooth user experiences. Thus, every app pushed into the market targeting the iOS are developed at par the standards of Apple. With world-class services, Apple ensures that each of the users onboarding the app face the minimum hassle.

Apple ensures security and consistency of apps

Apple makes it sure to reflect supreme security in all its devices and inbuilt apps. So, isn’t is obvious that all apps targeted to iOS devices should adhere to its security standards too? The app developers thus take special care to work in adherence with Apple’s guidelines while crafting the apps and as a result, they are outstandingly secure and are consistent in quality.

Besides, thanks to the closed ecosystem of Apple, any apps have minimum chances to encounter data breaches.

Download charges levied by Apple

Apps ensued to be run on iOS devices can allow their owners to earn some money because the App Store charges users for downloading an app unlike the Play Store, where a lot of the apps are free. Even if it can result in the lesser acquisition of customers, but the paid users engage more and are retained for longer. So, a business owner can catch more up loyal customers than any free apps.

Apps’ performance can be evaluated

The businesses owning iOS apps can even evaluate their performances. Subsequently, they can release new updates or improvements or additional features in the apps to make them even better. Having access to the performance parameters of apps, the app development companies can find out easily and timely what’s wrong in them and what can be done!

Advanced visual effects

Any apps in the iPhone or iPad devices get better or enhanced visualisation because of the high-screen resolution and notch displays. Thus, any day, iOS devices make an app look more sophisticated and eye-catchy, adding to its unique design and look.

These are clear reasons why going for iPhone or iPad app development can be a wiser decision for your business. While no doubt, Apple’s brand prominence with its inherent App Store is a  fact that makes every iOS app profitable by acquiring more premium users for businesses, however, let’s not forget not about Android apps development that is still now throbbing in the market with the biggest share, for being affordable to small/mid-sized business.

This article tries to explain the advanced real-time features that app owners should be considering today to make their apps more lively and engaging.

Apps that give more chances to users to interact real-time are more successful than those which do not. Technology has been evolving fast and apps are no exception to that. Over the years, apps developers around the world are toiling hard to bring in improvements and features that can help an app work like a pro agent for any service or consumer products. Real-time features, that allows users to interact and utilise any service via the app in their actual time is one such great improvement the world witnessed. Most companies owning a mobile app are deploying them with instant features that will facilitate real-time engagement between the app and the users.

However, anyone, thinking to have some real-time features in their app needs to know first what they are actually.

Actual on-time feed

Mostly needed in mass-related or media apps, this feature will allow the users to be updated with real-time information, wherever they are. This must be added with the scheme of multi-user collaboration, which will allow everyone to add, edit, delete or update data simultaneously. With everyone able to put up information from their own end in the feed, the app gets a huge feed of all real-time data and information.

Push notifications

This too comes as a very crucial real-time feature for every modernised app which lets the users to be informed about the new things in the app. For instance, a new feature addition, any discount, promo offers, etc. Businesses can utilise push notifications for enhancing their retention.

Live Chat

Instant messaging or live chat feature is another affluent feature to integrate into your app which can help users engage with type texts, voice calls, video calls, and even group chats. They can even send away files, audios or videos. Real-time chatting enhances the collaboration of the users with the app and helps them better in availing the on-demand services.

Live streaming

This has become another much-needed feature for any advanced app in areas like travel, real estate, shopping and entertainment. Videos simply allow users to receive data with deeper interactions.

Order or Process Tracking

Live order status is another essential real-time feature highly relevant for on-demand service or product delivery apps. While business owners send their executives to deliver their product, the users can track the shipping and delivery information. The GPS feature of the phone needs to be integrated with the app’s interface to make tracking experience possible.  

No doubt, real-time features are taking app experiences to a whole new level. Thus, any app that fails to integrate any one of these is sure to lag behind when the expectations of people are growing too much.
