App Development Cost 2022: A Complete Guide

App development graphic

Mobile phones have become a necessity in our lives, and a phone without apps is a useless screen. Around 90% of the time people spend on their phones is on an app. With more than 2.9 million apps available for downloads, it is clear that apps are an effective way to engage the audience and build brand credibility. This comprehensive guide will lay down the roadmap of app-building costs and what route to take depending on your needs.

 

 

App Development Costs

When it comes to app development cost, there is no specific answer to how much it can be as the price depends on various factors. The average cost range of developing a mobile application is anywhere between $20,000 and $80,000.

When you set out to develop an app, you can take several routes to ensure that your project does not go over budget, and you can also opt for freelancers instead of going for development companies.

One of the most widespread beliefs in app development is that the more money you cough up, the better the app will be. This is not true because you could opt to work with a freelancer who would charge you significantly lower than what a company would. You could also talk to an app development company and look for areas that are not needed in your app at the moment and remove them, thus driving the cost down.

The cost of app development depends on where the developer is situated. For example, North America and Australia are some of the most expensive app development regions at $150-$200/hr and $168-$250 for iOS. In contrast, the most pocket-friendly options would be India, Indonesia, and Pakistan, each ranging between $11 to $70, respectively.

It’s Not Just About The Dollar Amount

If you have previously built an app, you know that it is just as important to capture the estimated number of hours that it will take to build your mobile app. The formula for calculating the price of app development is price/hr. X number of hours = total cost. With that being said, let’s use that formula to calculate the average cost of building each major type of app.

 

Types of Apps and Their Average Total Costs

A major point to take into account is the type of app you want to build. Yes, it’s true that different types of apps have different cost levels. According to Statista, here are the most popular app store categories as of August 2020, and their percentage share of active apps in the app stores.

Here is a rundown of the top categories of apps and the average costs that they incur.

 

The Gaming App

Although it is one of the most popular categories in the app store, gaming apps generally require high-quality graphics and endless features. Games can be as simple as Solitaire or as complex as Fortnite, and with the rise of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), games are about to become more complex in features. Depending on the kind of gaming app you want to build, it will cost you anywhere between $50,000-$1,000,000 to build one.

 

The Business App

A personalized app for your business can cost you anywhere between $50,000-$200,000. Business apps should start by offering these five basic features for your audience: user-friendliness, social integration, feedback and contact, offline features, and regular updates.

 

The Education App

How simple or complex do you want your education app to be? If you are creating an education app as a simple resource for students or potential learners to refer to, the price could be as low as $15,000. For more engaging educational games and advanced features such as interacting with tutors, you can expect the price to bump up to $80,000, or even more.

 

The Lifestyle App

Everybody is looking for different lifestyle apps that can help them track their everyday activities, such as their diet, what to wear, their workout routine etc. The good thing about lifestyle apps is that everyone can use them, so there is a wide audience. Building a feature-rich lifestyle app costs $15,000-$50,000 on average.

 

The Utilities App

Want to build a powerful voice translation app or a reminder app? Similar to lifestyle apps, utility apps are also in high-demand all the time. And the good news is that you can build one in five figures! Typical costs range from $25,000-$80,000.

 

 

App Trends on the Rise

AR/VR

It took one game to make this mobile app trend go viral and now, the market is expected to reach $94.4 billion by 2023. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality apps are now spread across nearly every vertical and will soon take over the majority of apps in the app stores.

 

AI/ML

With increasing worldwide spending on emerging technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are now dominating apps. We will come to a point where many will not find an app desirable if it does not have some sort of AI/ML feature to make our lives simpler.

 

On-Demand Services

We have clearly seen how successful apps like Uber and DoorDash have been, and people now want on-demand service apps for just about everything. The interesting part is that there will be a lot of competition in this field as businesses build ‘the next Uber’ with more advanced features.

 

eCommerce

The pandemic has been testing all sorts of waters for sure, and the tides have actually been very eye-opening for retailers. eCommerce has always been an attractive option to reach more shoppers, but many businesses thought it would never overpower the personal, in-store connection that shoppers get when they walk into their store. However, retailers are now finding that eCommerce is fast, easy, convenient, and there are many ways to personalize the customer experience with AR/VR, chatbots, automatic suggestions etc.

 

 

Types of Apps From a Technological Standpoint

Native Apps

These apps are specifically built for one platform (ex. specific to only iOS or only Android). Native apps are the most popular choice out of the three options (native, web, and hybrid) due to their fast speed. However, they are the most expensive as well. The reason being that you have to build 2-3 native apps for it to be optimized for each type of device and/or platform.

 

Web Apps

Web apps are basically ‘mobile websites’, however, they may showcase a different look and feel from the same company’s desktop website. The good thing about web apps is that they do not need to be downloaded to be used as they can be accessed via data or the Internet. They also do not need to be built for multiple platforms so they tend to be cheaper than native apps.

 

Hybrid Apps

If you mix native and web apps together, you get hybrid apps. Hybrid apps are similar to native apps in the sense that you have to download them from the app store. However, similar to web apps, hybrid apps are developed using programming languages like HTML, CSS, and Javascript, and are cheaper than native apps.

Hybrid, Web, and Native Apps

Hybrid, Web, and Native Apps

iOS Apps

iOS apps are built with either Objective-C or Swift programming languages.

 

Android Apps

Android apps are primarily built with Java and Kotlin.

 

 

What The Surveys Tell Us

GoodFirms broke down the average cost of app development into three categories: apps with a simple interface (least functionality), medium complexity, and feature-rich apps. The most simple apps cost anywhere between $40,000 to $60,000. Apps with a little more complexity can cost between $61,000 to $69,000, and the most complex apps range from anywhere between $70,000 to $100,000.

 

 

What all determines the cost of building an app

The total cost of building your app depends on MANY factors. Lets go over some of these.

 

Type of App

We will keep this one brief, since we mostly covered this topic, but the type of app you are aiming to build has a HUGE effect on how much you will be paying.

 

Complexity

How complex do you want your app to be? Is it a simple 2-3 screen app or a feature-rich application?

 

Design

If you are trying to build a simple utilities app for example, design won’t be a major cost for you. However, if you are trying to build a gaming app with powerful graphics, design will take up a large chunk of your total cost.

 

Vendor

Every software development firm has their own pricing range. It is good to get an estimate from at least 5-6 different firms before you make a deal. It is also important to keep in mind that there are other options such as freelance app developers, or you could even build your own app if you have the expertise to do so. All three of these options have different price levels.

 

Back-End Development

Almost all of the costs we talked about so far have to do with front-end app development, but you also have to include the costs for back-end development. You may ask “What is the difference between front-end and back-end?” Front-end is basically the app which the consumers will use, and all of its associated features. The back-end portion of the app is hosted on a remote server. Anything that happens in the back-end is not seen on the front-end app, and the back-end is used to carry out remote tasks that you don’t want your users to see, such as users’ vulnerable info or any other info stored in the app. Think of it like a restaurant. All the work happens in the kitchen, and only the final dish is seen by the customers. What happens in the kitchen affects the dish and the presentation of the dish.

 

Number of Platforms & Devices Supported

As for the number of platforms and devices you want your app to support, it is CRUCIAL to keep in mind that cross-platform and cross-device apps, also known as hybrid apps, are a lot cheaper as you don’t have to pay for additional costs in tailoring your app to each and every platform or device. We will go over this in more detail later in the guide.

 

Testing

Every app needs to be tested to make sure it runs properly. Testing costs anywhere from $5,000-$20,000 on average and again, it all comes down to your vendor and their average pricing.

 

Maintenance

App costs are not finished post-development. You have to take maintenance costs into account, which need to be paid every year. Maintenance costs are generally around 15-20% of the total development costs. Depending on the situation of your app, you will need different types of maintenance services and a certain amount of them as well.

 

 

Local Development or Outsource, which route to take?

There are pros and cons of both of them, but if you know what your app needs and what constraints you are working under, making this choice becomes more effortless.

If you opt to go for the outsourced route, then know that you will have access to a larger talent pool to choose from; you will get lower rates and much more flexibility. In addition to this, there are some cons with it as well such as communication problems which can be due to several reasons. One reason could be different time zones and it may get difficult at times to coordinate appropriately. Lastly, there is a lack of personal involvement, or as the saying goes, things may “get lost in translation.”

But, if you decide to go with local development, you get access to the developers, and you can meet them whenever you want as you will not be limited due to location. In addition to this, you can meet the team to communicate your ideas much more effectively. However, it can go against you if you are working on a tight budget because there may be little talent available, which may be expensive for you.

 

 

The Stages of App Development

Discovery Stage

The discovery stage is where all of the brainstorming happens. Ideas are conceptualized and goals as well as visions are communicated. Costs are calculated after taking everything into account.

 

Design Stage

The foundation for the UX/UI design of the app is laid out on this stage. This is a crucial stage for many apps, especially gaming and social media apps. The price range is quite broad as it depends on how complex or simple you want the design to be.

 

Development Stage

Your app is brought to life by the developer(s) and all features discussed in the Discovery Stage are implemented here.

 

Testing and Deployment Stage

An app is tested and deployed after the development stage to ensure that it runs smoothly on all platforms with no issues.

 

Maintenance

Wait! Just because your newly-developed app has passed the test and has been deployed does not mean it’s over. You have to remember the maintenance stage, which happens every year. Be ready to pay the fees to maintain your app and make sure it is updated every year.

 

 

How much time does it take to develop an app?

How long it takes to develop an app depends on a number of factors. How many platforms are you gunning for? What features are you trying to add to the app? The rough estimate of how much time is needed for an app to be fully developed is as follows:

  • A basic mobile app takes 400-700 hours
  • Apps that have advanced features can take up to 700-1000 hours
  • Highly complex apps that have technologies such as AI, ML, or VR development can take up to 1200 to 2000 hours.

It is worth keeping in mind that these times are just estimates, and in reality, the times can go up or down depending on how swiftly the development teams are working on your app.

 

 

A Breakdown of the Basic Features of Your App

Search Option

Help your app’s users navigate to where they want to quickly with a search feature.

 

Social Integration

On the topic of convenience, your app should be able to seamlessly connect with social platforms to ease the sign up process. An added benefit of social integration is that users can share any particular post or other info in the app to their social channels with the tap of a button, which gives your app more exposure.

 

Push Notifications

Almost every app needs a notifications feature as they are helpful for many, and it is the best way to remind users of something. Push notifications also increase app engagement as people are likely to revisit it after receiving one.

 

Customization/Personalization

When you collect user data after getting their permission, you can create a personalized user experience to satisfy their needs better. For example, if you have an eCommerce app, you can showcase similar products to the ones that they viewed previously, and it is likely to increase sales. If your app is very design-oriented, allowing your users to customize their dashboard or overall layout can make them really happy, and they will want to use your app more.

 

Offline Use

It is very convenient when users are able to use apps offline in places where the Internet may not be available, so this is a great option to consider.

 

Security

Nobody wants to use an app that will not protect their privacy and possible sensitive data. App security is not optional, and a good app will invest a good chunk of their cash into building secure features to make their users feel comfortable. It is also a good idea to have Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) options.

 

Feedback

Allow your users to give you feedback! This is the only way you will know what needs to be improved upon to provide a better user experience. Even a quick star rating option is better than nothing.

 

 

Add-On Features

These are features that will obviously bump up the price of building your mobile app should they be included, however, will also improve the quality of your app. Keep in mind that not all of these features will be required for your specific app, but you can decide which of these you choose to incorporate based on the function of your app.

Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality Integration

AR and VR mobile trends are on a rise, and will be more prominent in the coming apps. Although they are not required to make an award-winning app, it certainly scales your app to meet the growing demands of modern-day smartphone users.

 

Geolocation

Many apps need to be able to access a user’s location for them to use the app.

 

Ads Display

If your app will earn revenue through ads, you have to have this feature included.

 

Payments

If you are building an eCommerce app or any other app that requires transactions to be made through the app, you need to have a secure payment system enabled.

 

Chat

The chat feature is common in many social media applications, and is also a staple in telehealth applications where the patient may need to stay in touch with the doctor through the easiest contact method: text. These are just a few examples of many where a chat feature will be needed. Throw in a chatbot as well and this becomes one of the most valuable add-on features from our list.

 

Video Calls

Video (and audio) calls are a pricey feature to include, but the ROI is great if you are building a valuable app.

 

simple, medium, and complex apps features, time, cost etc.

Simple, Medium, and Complex Apps Features, Time, Cost etc.

 

Cross Platform App Functionality

A term you may hear quite often in mobile app development is cross-platform app functionality. Although this term may be overshadowed by its more popular opponent native apps, cross-platform apps or hybrid apps are underrated for a number of reasons.

First let us start off by saying that native apps are the go-to option for many simply because they are more reliable, and since they are specifically made for one operating system, all of the components of the native app are made to fit that one platform which results in faster loading speed.

However, if you choose to go with the native option, you will have to pay up for creating the same app for other platforms, which ends up being very pricey for some. But not to worry, if you cannot afford to pay double or triple the amount you will already be paying for your app, cross-platform app development is here to save the day.

Cross-platform apps have their own benefits including less development time, more cost-effective, more exposure etc. On the topic of speed, this is actually debateable. Some say there is not a significant difference between the speeds of native and cross-platform apps, but others get very annoyed by cross-platform apps.

This means you have three options: (a) develop one native app which has very fast speed, but sacrifice a good number of your audience reach (b) develop a cross-platform app that allows your app to be used by various devices and platforms, therefore giving your app more exposure, but sacrifice fast speed (c) develop multiple native apps, reaching a greater amount of people and providing them with a fast and high quality app, but sacrifice cost.

 

 

How much does app maintenance cost?

When users download an app, they expect regular updates to improve the app and ensure that the app is compatible with all the latest versions of the operating systems. In addition to this, there are often bugs in the app that require sorting out to ensure that the user experience is up and up.

When it comes to calculating how much it will cost to maintain your app, then a good rule of thumb would be to take the 20% of your app’s original development cost, and that will be the cost of maintenance.

When you maintain an app, you are not just paying for the cosmetic changes; you are also paying for the server costs, development costs, content costs, and other such features that ensure that your app is enjoyable in the longer run. Longevity is something that you need to go after because once you rack up those users, you want them to stay, and to do that, you need to give them constant updates.

 

 

App Marketing

You built an amazing app with your hard earned money, now what’s next? How is your app going to earn revenue? Marketing your app should be a task on your to-do list if you want your app to be successful. You should set aside a budget for app marketing before you even get your app developed. But how do you determine the cost of marketing your app? Well, it depends on which and how many avenues you decide to use to your advantage.

Here are some common ways people market their apps, and the average cost to use these methods.

App Store Optimization

If your app is not optimized to rank high in the app stores, you will lose A LOT of potential traffic. That is why we advise you to focus on App Store Optimization first. Here are some tips to optimize your app for the iOS App Store and the Android App Store. You can also use an App Store Optimization (ASO) tool which will cost you anywhere from $30-$1,000 dollars/mo.

 

PR Outreach

You want your app to show up in various publications with maximum exposure to your intended audience. Get ready to do a press release and reach out to several PR agencies. The average hourly cost for a PR agency can be anywhere between $100-$300.

 

Influencer Marketing

Use your influencers! Let them try out your app and they can introduce it to a whole network of potential users. Remember to go for influencers that have followers/subscribers of your target audience. The average cost for this can be around $100-$300 per influencer.

 

Social Media

First off, if you don’t create social media pages for your apps, what are you doing? Social media is one of the best ways to bring attention to your app. Along with company pages, you can also choose to do paid ads, which can cost as little as $20 to $1000/mo., depending on how long you want the ads to run and which platforms you choose.

 

Paid Ads

Lastly, you can choose to go the paid ads route as well with Google and Bing Ads. Similar to social media, you set the budget and the time you want the ads to run, so again, the price range is very broad. Paid ads can also cost you anywhere from $20-$1000/mo.

Keep in mind that your ROI will be a lot higher if you build a good app and market it 10x better.

 

 

Key Takeaways (TL;DR) 

Since we covered a boatload of vital info in this article, here is a quick summary of all the major points that we went over:

General

  • The average cost of developing an app is between $20,000 and $80,000
  • Every region of the world has their own price ranging with app development. You can pay as much as $150-$250/hr in the US and as low as $11-$70 in India and Pakistan. However, there are disadvantages to offshore development such as time zones, misinterpretation due to different cultures etc.
  • The formula to calculate app development cost is price/hr. X number of hours = total development cost

5 Reasons Why Super Apps Are Attractive to Users

Super apps are a relatively new category of apps, which have been popping up exponentially in the last few years. Super apps are attractive to users because they combine a handful of services into one app. An example of super apps is Waze. Waze is a GPS-based app that provides turn-by-turn directions, but it also allows the user to report any accidents or police presence. When you combine all of these features into one app, you end up with an app that has immense potential to build a concrete user base.

 

The Hype Behind Super Apps: 5 Reasons Why Users Love Them

There has been a lot of talk about super apps in the past few years, and the hype has increased especially in the last few months. What are the reasons behind all this hype?

1. Users Can Access Services From One App

One reason why users like super apps are that they only need one application to perform different functions. For example, most people don’t want to download four or five different apps for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Gmail. You can access all of these services in your Chrome browser. However, there are limitations to using Chrome on your mobile device for social media. When you want to post something or check up on certain accounts, it’s much easier to use the dedicated social media app that you have. Users like super apps because they can easily access many different services in one application, which saves time and storage space.

2. The Apps Have Been More Consistent

As the popularity of super apps has increased, these apps have also become more consistent and have an easy user interface. The developers behind each app are trying to sync all of the features within the application to make them work better together. Plus, many companies have put a lot more time and effort into making sure that their applications run smoothly even with all of these additional features.

3. Easy-to-Use Applications

Another reason why super apps are so popular is that they simplify everyday tasks. For example, instead of using three different applications on your phone, you can easily use Waze to check up on traffic conditions before leaving work. Swiping left will allow you to read reviews about specific places while clicking on the red pin will allow you to report accidents or police presence. Super apps are much easier than downloading multiple applications for different services that do roughly the same thing.

4. Cross-Platform Capabilities

Super apps are attractive because they can be accessed from whichever platform the user chooses. For example, if a user has a Windows laptop and an iPhone, he or she can download the Instagram app for both devices. Despite being on different platforms, both applications have relatively similar functions. If you want to post a picture on your timeline or check out what others have been posting, Instagram has you covered.

Similarly, if an individual wants to post something to his Twitter account while using his Android phone, it’s as simple as downloading the Twitter app and sharing away. That is one of the main advantages that super apps offer: cross-platform capabilities that allow users to access their information anywhere and at any time.

5. Better Customer Service

Many companies such as Amazon and Google offer 24/7 customer service through their applications, thus creating a better relationship with their customers. For example, by using the Google Maps app on your iPhone, you can easily check up on different routes to your local grocery store or maybe address any questions that you have about how to work it.

Super apps are attractive because they offer easier access to customer service reps for users who may have queries regarding services provided by companies. This also helps cut down costs of hiring call center employees.

 

What’s Next?

In a world of low connectivity, a new super app will save the day. In the future, we can expect super apps to keep evolving. Users who are interested in playing games on their mobile devices will find that single-purpose gaming apps will be replaced by more comprehensive ones such as Supercell’s Clash of Clans. This game not only allows gamers to battle others online but also enables them to upgrade buildings and equipment while waiting for train or bus stops. As these types of services continue to evolve, both users and companies will likely continue investing in super apps.

These 3 Industries are Taking Advantage of Super Apps

According to Forbes, a super app is “a mobile application that offers various services through a single app”.

This is a different strategy from the traditional app development process in which a business would develop an app for each service it has to offer. With this type of approach, a firm will need to invest more time and money developing several apps for their services while having the risk of losing the customer’s interest if they download few or none at all.

Super app solutions allow businesses to consolidate their services into one platform that is accessible on the user’s mobile device, allowing them to save storage space, time, and money.

Industries Who Are Using Super Apps

The concept of super apps has become very attractive for consumers mainly because of the convenience factor. One super app usually covers a wide range of services without the hassle of downloading different apps for each service.

Companies are noticing the need for super apps and are starting to incorporate them into their businesses as well. Here are three industries that are taking advantage of the super app phenomenon:

1. The Telecommunication Industry

The telecommunications and Internet service provider industry started using the super app strategy with their apps, such as T-Mobile Tuesdays and Verizon’s Hum, both of which provide additional services to customers. Now, even more, telecom companies such as ATT are following suit with the launch of their super app called “ATT Connect”.

2. The Finance Industry

The financial institution industry is a great example of how transactional super apps can benefit businesses. TD Bank launched their mobile app called “T.D. Wallet,” which covers a wide range of financial services, including account monitoring, mobile deposits, and check cashing capabilities. Another bank that has taken advantage of super apps is Capital One, with their “Quicksilver” app that also covers a wide range of financial services, including offering cash rewards to cardmembers.

3. The Online Retail Industry

The need for convenience and speed is very important to consumers, and that is why companies like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart are turning into super apps as well. Launched in 2011, Amazon’s app can be used not only as a shopping tool but also as a way to manage your account, view items you have purchased online, and track your book lists.

eBay created their super app called “eBay Now” which allows users to order items online from local stores and have them delivered right to their doorstep through the app, while Walmart uses its super app called “Walmart Pay” which allows users to pay for their items without using cash.

Super apps have become a trend not only in the mobile app industry but also in various businesses because it is a cost-effective and time-efficient way to reach out to customers. This new development is revolutionizing the way consumers shop, travel, and bank, and there are many industries taking advantage of super apps.

This strategy can also benefit companies because it allows them to save resources and time by consolidating their resources into one platform. The future of super apps looks very promising because there are still many industries that have yet to take advantage of these technological advancements. With this new type of app, companies can stand out from their competition by providing an app that will benefit the customer and engage them in a lasting relationship.

What Are Super Apps?

Today, a mobile app should contain many functionalities and at the same time, user experience becomes one of the most important elements to consider when choosing an app. In addition to the features that come from other companies as part of their “service”, there are also those who can be considered as super apps because they tend to combine several services within their app.

The Concept of Super Apps

Super apps are large integrated applications that go beyond the single service offered by other applications. Super apps is a type of application that provides an ecosystem to its users, who can accomplish tasks related to content management, communication, productivity, and more – through a single application. Users will access these features without having to open different applications. These super apps are gaining more and more ground in the mobile world. You have likely heard about at least one of these super apps, which not only saves time but also money for its users.

Why Super Apps Are in Such High Demand Right Now

As the number of smartphones continues to grow, users are increasingly aware of the need for a functional and efficient application. This has led them to use super apps, which come in a variety of different types.

For example, some offer all sorts of content, such as YouTube or Spotify – these help with entertainment. There are also productivity apps, which tend to be a bit more complex and manage a variety of different tasks that tend to include file management or collaboration within a work group. There are also communication apps that provide users with one of the most important elements in the world of today’s digital systems: connectivity.

Another notable advantage these super apps have going for them is that, due to their high demand and the number of users they have, they tend to be updated very frequently. This means that bugs are fixed quickly and new functionalities are implemented as soon as possible.

What’s more, many people like to use super apps because it helps them avoid having to download different applications for each task – this saves a lot of time and storage space on your device.

The use of super apps has increased significantly over the past few years, as seen in the fact that some have been downloaded by millions of people from all around the world. This is due to their various features and especially because they can be accessed from a single application.

Super apps will likely continue to enjoy growing success in the future.

What to Know Before Automating App Testing

automating app testingTesting is an important part of the app development process, but it can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Automating app testing can help you save time and improve your testing process. However, there are a few things you should know before automating your app tests. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of automated testing and what you need to know before automating your tests.

 

Automated App Testing vs. Manual App Testing

The first thing you need to know is the difference between automated app testing and manual app testing. Manual app testing is done by humans, while automated app testing is done by machines. Automated app testing can be more reliable and efficient than manual app testing, but it can also be more expensive.

 

Differences of App Testing for Android and iOS

There are some differences between automated app testing for iOS and automated app testing for Android. There are also important similarities that you should be aware of.

For iOS, Appium provides a framework for automation as well as a range of tools such as drivers and plug-ins. You can use Appium to automate functional UI tests or regression tests on real devices or simulators. For Android, there is the Espresso test framework created by Google. It uses the UI Automator tool to interact with user interface elements of an Android device application under test.

While both offer APIs to support mobile automation, Appium is open source while Espresso is part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). This means that Appium is more likely to be supported by the developer community than Espresso. For both iOS and Android, you can use the UI Automator Viewer to preview how your app will look when being tested with test scripts.

iOS has support for custom actions where you can use JavaScript code to interact with native objects in an app using UI automation. On the other hand, Android only provides built-in methods for interacting with user interface elements.

 

AI’s Role in Automating App Testing

Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to play a major role in mobile automation. AI can help with collecting and analyzing data during the testing process. It can also help automate mundane tasks without any human intervention. Some types of tests are currently being automated with AI, including performance test optimization, text- or keystroke-driven UIs where users input information into an app, games, animations, etc., optical character recognition (OCR), vision/facial recognition tests, object detection tests, among others.

 

Benefits of Automated App Testing

There are many benefits to automating your mobile app testing. These benefits can be different for both iOS and Android.

 

Benefits of Automated App Testing for iOS

With automated iOS app testing, you can get detailed reports on your test progress so that you won’t have to manually check logs or screenshots. You are also able to learn which tests are still failing and why they are failing at a faster pace thanks to the detailed reports. Automatic comparison of screenshots during regression testing can also help improve your QA process by providing information about UI changes in new versions of an app without human intervention. The Xcode Instruments feature helps collect data about memory usage in iOS apps.

 

Benefits of Automated App Testing for Android

Automating tests on a real device allows you to examine your app across various devices and OS versions without much effort. This saves you from having to purchase many different devices yourself. Being able to do this frees up development time so that you can create more robust tests, add new features or add localization support. You will also have greater assurance when it comes to making updates or changes because automated testing minimizes the risk of introducing new bugs into your app after an update is made.

Automated app testing offers several benefits, including speedier development cycles, more accurate results, and less need for human intervention. Knowing what to look for before you choose a framework or tool is important so that you can be sure that the solution you select will meet your specific needs. In the near future, AI is expected to play an even more important role in mobile app automation.

5 Ways Touchless UI Can Enhance UX

touchless UIIn the past, technology has always been about making our lives easier. The goal has always been to find ways to reduce the amount of time and effort we need to put in to get things done. In recent years, one area where this has become particularly apparent is user interface design or UX. With the advent of touchless UI technologies, such as voice assistants, chatbots, and gesture recognition devices, there are now multiple ways in which people can interact with their phones without ever touching them. This has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for how we go about completing daily tasks, such as sending messages, getting directions to places, or making phone calls.

 

What is Touchless User Interface?

A touchless user interface, also known as a natural user interface, is a term used to describe a system in which an individual interacts with a computer using only their voice or gestures. Whereas touch screens have been around for years and have become commonplace on smartphones and other mobile devices today, touchless interfaces are relatively new technology. They are the result of innovative companies such as Amazon and Google investing in natural language processing that allows their voice assistants, Alexa, and Google Assistant respectively, to understand what the user is asking.

 

How Touchless UI is Developed

There are currently two main ways of developing a touchless interface. The first is through the use of speech recognition software which allows users to operate their device by simply speaking commands or asking it questions. Amazon’s Alexa, for example, works using a natural language processor that uses machine learning and deep neural networks to understand what you’re saying and respond accordingly. The second way in which touchless UI is developed is through gesture control or motion detection technology that can be used from across the room. Microsoft Kinect was one of the first devices available commercially with this kind of capability, but of course now even smartphones incorporate similar technology allowing people to switch songs on Spotify, for instance, without ever touching their device.

 

How Touchless UI Enhances UX

There are several ways in which a touchless user interface can enhance the various elements of user experience.

 

1. Increased Convenience and Efficiency

One of the most obvious benefits of touchless UI is that it increases convenience and efficiency. With no need to physically touch your device, you can complete tasks quicker and with less effort. This is particularly useful for activities that require multiple steps, such as sending a text message or email.

 

2. Greater Flexibility

Touchless UI also provides greater flexibility when it comes to how users interact with their devices. Gesture control, for instance, means that people don’t need to be confined to one spot when using their phone or computer. They can move around the room while still being able to control their phone or computer.

 

3. Reduced Distraction by Design

Another way in which touchless UI enhances UX is through reduced distraction by design. This is because voice assistants like Alexa can give you verbal feedback about what they are doing, allowing users to complete other tasks at the same time without worrying that they might be missing something important on their device.

 

4. Enhanced Security and Privacy

Voice recognition technology also comes with increased security and privacy as people don’t need to worry about unauthorized access to their devices. As long as the user doesn’t share it with anyone else, information stored or accessible via speech recognition software remains secure even if the phone falls into someone else’s hands. It has no fingerprint trail so there’s no way of identifying who the phone belongs to.

 

5. Easier Accessibility for All

Finally, touchless user interfaces also come with increased accessibility benefits as anyone can use them regardless of whether they have physical disabilities or not. Touch screens, after all, require users to be able to physically touch their device which is not always possible. As long as someone understands the basics behind how voice control software works, however, they can go on to complete any task that would normally require them to interact with a touch screen both easily and independently!

 

UI vs. UX Design: Importance of Both For App Success

User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) are two important aspects that determine the success or failure of an app. UI is all about how the app looks and how users interact with it, while UX is concerned with how users feel when using the app. To create a successful app, you need to focus on both UI and UX design equally.

Good UI design will make your app look visually appealing and easy to use, while good UX design will make sure your users enjoy using your app and find it helpful and useful. Focusing on just one or the other will not be enough – you need to create a well-rounded app that has both great UI and UX design to be successful.

A touchless user interface provides several benefits for users that go beyond just convenience and efficiency. Increased flexibility, reduced distraction, enhanced security and privacy, and easier accessibility is all benefits that touchless UI can bring to users. To create a successful app, it is important to focus on both UI and UX design equally. By doing so, you will create an app that looks great and is enjoyable and helpful to use!

How Important is Geolocation For Your Mobile App?

geolocationWhen you’re creating a mobile app, one of the first things you need to decide is where it will be available. This decision is based on your app’s geolocation. Geolocation is the process of determining a device’s geographical location. There are two main factors to consider when choosing geolocation: user location and device location. For many apps, it’s a good idea to combine both geolocation strategies for a more accurate geotargeting strategy.

In this article, we will discuss how important geolocation is to your mobile app – from the perspective of users and devices – and provide some suggestions on what to keep in mind when planning your app’s geolocation.

 

How To Build an App With Geolocation

When you’re creating your app, it’s important to consider how and where it accesses geolocation data. If you don’t plan accordingly, your users might not be able to use the app as intended. Geolocation data is accessed via GPS on mobile devices and by IP address on web browsers. You should also consider how frequently this data is accessed. A naive approach would be to check your user’s geolocation on page load, but some users are on mobile devices with limited power and memory. If you only need the geolocation data every few minutes or hours, you might save battery life by checking less frequently.

When planning where your app will access geolocation data, it’s important to remember that accessing GPS information through a browser is not supported on all devices. Browsers typically use IP address-based geolocation instead of GPS if it’s available. However, many browsers have limits on how often they can request location updates from an IP address, which means that you could be geo-targeting a user inaccurately if their browser can’t access the information you need.

Geolocation is also important when it comes to offline mode. For example, Pokémon GO doesn’t allow users to play when there is no internet connection, because it would be impossible for the application to determine a player’s location without having access to their device’s GPS or IP address. In fact, by not allowing your app to work in offline mode, you might be increasing your user acquisition costs, so geolocation data should always be considered when creating an online/offline strategy for mobile apps.

As more companies advertise on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, some are starting to determine where ads are appearing through geotagging – the process of attaching geographical data to digital photos and videos. For example, if you upload a photo from Times Square in New York City, the geotagging feature will add latitude and longitude coordinates to the photo that anyone can access. This means that businesses can target potential customers more accurately by advertising only in certain areas.

 

Benefits of Utilizing Geolocation

There are many benefits to using geolocation in your mobile app. Here are a few.

 

Better User Targeting

Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it can help you target users more accurately. For example, if you’re a business that only operates in certain areas, you can use geolocation to ensure that your ads are only being seen by people in those areas. Another example is Google Maps. In the past, if you tried to search for a location on Google Maps without specifying where you were, you might have been searching for a location several miles away from your real geographical coordinates. Now that Google has implemented geotargeting into their maps, local businesses can appear more prominently in searches near your current location. This means that if you’re looking up directions to a business and it comes up as the first option, it’s probably because it’s closer than other options – increasing your chances of converting this user into a lead.

 

Cheaper Clicks

Geolocation also helps cut costs by delivering cheaper clicks. For example, an ad set targeting website visitors from San Francisco would be more expensive than one targeting people in Milwaukee, but it’s more cost-effective for businesses with branches in San Francisco to target local users at a lower cost by advertising only in their area, rather than nationwide.

 

Improved Conversions

Geotargeting can improve conversions. For example, if your users are traveling abroad and they see an ad for your business that you’ve geotargeted to appear when they’re near your location, there is the possibility that they will search for directions to visit your business. This means that you might get higher engagement rates than other ads because of “the anticipation of place-based personalization .” Another way geolocation can increase conversion rates is by offering deals in specific areas. For example, a clothing store could offer a discount to users who show the coupon on their phone when they’re near the physical store.

 

Offline Mode

As mentioned earlier, geolocation is important for apps that work in offline mode. If your app can’t determine a user’s location without access to their device’s GPS or IP address, they won’t be able to use the app. This can be a major issue for apps like Pokémon GO, which rely on being able to track a player’s location to function properly.

 

Why Geolocation Is More Useful In Certain Apps Rather Than Others

There are many types of mobile apps, and not all of them require geolocation. For example, an eCommerce app doesn’t need to use geolocation because it’s only necessary for the app to know the user’s location to show them products that are available near them. However, an app like Uber needs to use geolocation to determine a rider’s location so they can be matched with a driver.

Location-based apps are more likely to benefit from using geolocation than other apps. An app that connects people in their area for social purposes (such as dating or job hunting) will be more useful if it uses geolocation data. This is because it can help people find others who are nearby. In addition, an app that provides recommendations or deals to users in certain areas will also be more useful if it uses geolocation data.

Geolocation is a powerful tool that can be used to improve user targeting, reduce costs, and increase conversions. However, not all apps require geolocation. Location-based apps are more likely to benefit from using geolocation, but other types of apps can also benefit from it in specific ways. Ultimately, it’s up to you as the developer to decide whether or not geolocation is necessary for your app.

1. Make sure your mobile app is easy to use

If your mobile app isn’t easy to use, people won’t bother using it. They’ll just go back to using their old methods of interacting with your business. So make sure your mobile app is simple – no one wants to waste their time trying to figure out how to use it.

 

2. Keep your customer data up-to-date

If you want to create better experiences for your customers, you need accurate customer data. So make sure you collect new data when people sign up for your mobile app. Then use that information to create more personalized interactions with them across all of your communication channels – whether it’s email, social media, or in-store.

 

3. Make your mobile app easy to contact you from

If people want to get in touch with your business, they need a quick way to do it! So make sure your mobile app includes links where they can get in touch via live chat, phone, or email. That way they won’t be annoyed or put off if they can’t find what they’re looking for on your mobile app.

 

4. Optimize the customer journey for mobile users

Your current customers have already gone through the hard work of finding your business and signing up for your mobile app – so make it easy for them to reach all of their favorite parts quickly. That includes common tasks such as checking balances, paying bills, or getting directions.

 

5. Personalize as much as possible

The more personalization you can include in your mobile app, the better!

Expect Remote Patient Monitoring To Grow, Here’s Why

remote patient monitoring As technology advances, it’s becoming easier and easier for patients to manage their health from a remote location. This is especially true in the field of patient monitoring, where devices such as the Apple Watch and Fitbit can now track everything from heart rate to blood pressure to activity levels. While there are many benefits to remote patient monitoring, there are also several challenges that can make it difficult to adopt.

 

What Is Remote Patient Monitoring?

There are many different types of patient monitoring, but they all serve one purpose: collect data about patients who cannot travel to clinics or hospitals to have their vitals checked.

Remote patient monitoring is the process of using these devices, which are becoming more advanced every day, to collect data about patients over time and identify ways to improve their health. While remote monitoring was first used in cardiac care decades ago, new technology has opened up the possibility for new types of monitoring such as neurovascular care, wound care, and even mental health.

 

Remote Patient Monitoring Benefits

There are many benefits to remote patient monitoring, chief among them is the ability to reduce hospital admissions. In some cases, patients can be monitored from home so closely that they never have to set foot in a hospital. This not only saves the patient time and money but also frees up hospital beds for those who truly need them.

Remote patient monitoring can also improve patient outcomes. The reason for this is that as devices become more advanced, they can provide doctors with data that is not only relevant to the patient’s condition but also can be used to improve care. For example, a doctor might use telemonitoring software to compare the outcomes of two different patients who have had similar procedures and recommend a specific protocol for one patient based on their past performance.

Remote patient monitoring can also be a cost-effective way to improve care. In the case of non-hospital-based monitoring, the costs are low and equipment is sturdy enough to be reused for multiple patients.

 

Challenges of Remote Patient Monitoring

While there are many benefits to remote patient monitoring, there are also several challenges that can make it difficult to adopt. One of the biggest challenges is the fact that not all patients are comfortable using technology to manage their health.

The other big challenge is the lack of standardization in the field. There are many different types of devices and software being used in different settings, which can make it difficult for technology companies to create a unified product that will work in every location.

Even with these challenges, remote patient monitoring is growing quickly.

 

In-Person Patient Monitoring vs Remote Patient Monitoring

There are two main types of healthcare observation, in-person care and remote.

In-person care is when a clinician checks the health of a patient by physically being in the same room (or at least the same building). This not only means checking vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure but also includes assessing the patient’s mood, mental state, and overall wellbeing.

Remote patient monitoring is when a clinician checks the health of a patient by remotely accessing data from devices like the Apple Watch or Fitbit. This data can include things like heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure but also includes assessing the patient’s mood, mental state, and overall wellbeing.

 

Which Is Better?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. In some cases, in-person care may be the best option, while in other cases, a remote patient monitoring app may be a better choice.

What is important is that both types of monitoring are available so that patients and clinicians can choose the option that is best for them.

 

Future of Remote Patient Monitoring

The future of healthcare monitoring is bright, as technology advances and more and more devices become available. Remote patient monitoring has already been shown to be a cost-effective way to improve care, and as it becomes more standardized, it is sure to become even more popular.
