Online Businesses have secured extraordinary access to customers virtually and are helped to build a bigger customer base using mobile apps besides other sources. We see mobile apps are being built & launched every day for various purposes online, from all over the world. From local grocery stores and schools, to large businesses and corporate houses, everybody is developing such applications for their advantage in an increasingly connected world.

However, how should the app work on a mobile platform and what are its important features that can help build your business? Let’s take a look here.

Registering and Profiling the user. Your potential online customer interacts with your service the first time by registering in your grocery mobile app which includes a personal profile document to obtain all needed data of the user. Another option is to sign up via the selected social networks. The user profile interface is easy to manage online.

Built-in Search Function People using the app will surely want a search option to find the product they want. It will include filters and suggestions to help the user in his/her search and also find offers via the app.

Payment Options. The grocery mobile app has multiple alternatives for paying that contributes effectively to the online business facilitating customers to pay easy and fast, via internet banking, electronic wallet, etc.

Customizing the shopping app: While developing the grocery mobile app one should do everything to meet customer expectations and provide an enjoyable user experience and engagement. Mobile app owners try to retain and attract as many customers with pleasing user engagement and offering great variety of products of high quality. Organizing the products over the online store is an important task. From selecting a product to making a payment, the process should be really user-friendly.

Push Notifications. Push notification is a must have feature to keep the audience and clientele interested and posted. Data in user profiles are used to send personalized notifications on discounts, coupons, offers or deals.

Order & Delivery solutions. To suit the convenience of customers the app should offer all variants for pick up or delivery of products. The process should include an order monitoring or tracking option and even option to cancel the order via the shopping / grocery mobile app.

Other features needed. Your grocery shopping app need to be improved over time and so include a feedback facility for users. Comments and reviews are a great source of learning & value addition. A

Helpdesk offering 24×7 support and assistance is preferable, as users sometimes need some advice on buying. Apps can also have texting, email, telecall or even chat-bot functions included.

Additional features always help. More functions on the app can improve the shopping experience of users. Facilitate repeated order by an easy check-out & shipping process and use the purchase history in support. To increase loyalty, frequent buyers can be identified and rewarded.

Add a Wish-list function so that potential buyers can include items to be purchased later. An option to set reminders will also help. Just as an automatic list generator in response to a query or theme or offer can help, add a voice recognition feature so that users can dictate instead of type a list. Group your products in a smart organizer to facilitate purchases category-wise. Some shopping apps are designed for price or product comparison with competition retailers, saving the user a lot of trouble. Considering the increasing number of online shoppers and apps and rapidly advancing technology affecting buying behavior, a mobile app is in the right direction to move.

To ensure the success of your grocery mobile app by its smooth functionality on the launch day, test it during development.

In the past couple of years mobile app development trends and app user behaviour have changed greatly. The mobile app by far, is the best bet for increasing user or customer engagement. It opens new opportunities beyond the internet browser in a cost effective way, offering unique user experience and engagement for brands and their products.

A whopping 204 billion app downloads has happened worldwide in 2019 and the global smartphone user population is predicted to go up from 3.2 billion in 2019 to 3.8 billion by next year… and so are app downloads. It is the popular Google Play Store that caters to mobile application users worldwide, acting as a virtual platform for app downloads for Android devices.

The Google Play Store is the app store that holds important facts and statistics for users and is especially useful for developing an app idea or building the mobile app. Here are some of the points you should consider before developing your app.

Consider the number of apps on the App Store. Google Play Store has exploded with mobile apps in recent years. Acknowledged as one of the trusted platforms, millions of users visit it daily, and is a first choice for most developers to host their apps. This app store holds presently an estimated 2.9 million apps. Eventually it keeps increasing every day, which according to a report is 3,310 in a day.

According to a report, 8.3 billion apps were installed from the App Store in 2019. Popular apps mainly contributed to the increased downloads (like WhatsApp, Facebook & Messenger).

Apps have rating. According to a report, apps of the Google Play Store that have rating, number to 2,043,044 and the rest without user rating is 1,155,639. Thus users are enabled to make a correct choice. This also guides the developers to use ratings to improve their apps.

Consider Free Apps and Paid Apps. Developers also have to consider that the Google Play Store has 96.2 per cent of apps for free, as of 2019 and 3.8 per cent were paid. It is not that only paid apps earn revenue. Free apps that are most downloaded also earn revenue and many Android apps have in-app billing or purchase features.

App usage facts & categories. A study found millennials more frequently opening apps during the day. High usage was found in certain categories. User behaviour and usage differ as per location and countries too. Certain devices, like the smartphone, were found to have highest usage compared to other devices with internet connectivity.

The app category also leads to popularity and better downloads. Gaming apps on the store are the most popular app category, claiming 13.35% share of hosted apps in the store. Educational apps had a share of 8.95% (as of 4th quarter of 2019). Worldwide, Google Play Store was reported to have generated US $ 14.2 billion by the 1st half of 2019, across the various categories. Android games were seen as the highest earners.

The competition is really tough in Google Play Store, when considering the huge number of apps readily available. So, when building an app, facts and stats like these must be considered before building it with the mobile application developer.

However, you needn’t have your own app developer to work on the UI/UX and coding, just outsource the mobile app development to an experienced and reliable partner like ANGLER.

Over the years, and especially so in the last 2 years, mobile phone designs have changed with technological innovations and upgradation. Today we see the era of foldable phones and displays has arrived. The devices come with screens that can actually be bent or folded. When unfolded these screens expand in size for the user and can be folded back again into a small form during or after use.

According to study by Gartner, by 2023 foldable phones will represent 5% of the market for high-end smartphones. However, there is apprehension regarding its success, in future, owning to the high costs involved in building them, when they actually hit the consumer markets worldwide. At present they have attracted big attention, but could eventually just fade away over time. However, the increase in demand for foldable smartphones will have an impact in app development and UI/UX.

App developers will certainly now have to work on apps that can adjust to both small and large screens, or multiple screen configurations. To solve the problem a flexible UX may not be enough and developers have to create a better immersive experience for those using apps, for browsing or streaming video. Here are sine points to consider during development.

Tailoring the UX. Foldable phones provide extra screen space that help in multi-tasking with apps at the same time on one device.

Continuity of task. A foldable screen needs the displayed content to transition from one screen to the next indeed quickly, seamlessly and uninterrupted. The app has to be able to reappear in the same screen position and location when unfolded.

Compatibility of screen form. Apps should be tested on all possible screen sizes to check compatibility of its form factor and aspect ratio.

Make your app resizable. The app being developed should work on and resize to fit various screen ratios with multi frame mode.

New screen ratio. Apps should be tested on all possible screen sizes to check its form factor and aspect ratio.

Multi-window tasking. Multiple apps can be run on the phone usually and 3 apps can be visible on an unfolded screen

Multi resume. Developers should focus on apps that can multi resume for foldable devices hereafter. All apps stay in a state of resume when the device is in the mode of multi windows. when the app is not in focus it will get paused.

Multi display support. Foldable devices in future feature more than one screen simultaneously. The configuration is the same way as seen for projected screens (as in Chrome OS).

Keyboards, launchers and wallpapers can be used as multi-display support. Secondary screens can handle wall papers as a dedicated activity.

If you don’t have a app developer to develop the UI/UX, outsource the mobile app development to an experienced and reliable partner with the appropriate skillsets in their app development team, to increase the level of your app idea or project.

A hurried decision to outsource the mobile app development can end up with an unsatisfactory final product or mobile application. However, besides hiring resources, outsourcing is considered a good alternative which is trending. Let us discuss some key points or guidelines to choose the right application development process that will reward a great user experience (UX) which is critical to success.

Traditional UX techniques used during rapid bursts of development may not work often, as it does not enjoy the time needed to deliver the great user experience. This is when Lean UX becomes immensely useful where Agile development methods are used to work on a project.

About Lean UX. Lean UX is focused on the experience the design can provide unlike traditional UX which focuses on deliverables. Lean UX calls for more collaboration between team members. The focus is on obtaining continual feedback as early as it can be got, to work in rapid cycles of iterations. Lean UX imitates these iterative cycles to make sure the feedback data is used in each iteration.

Unlike traditional UX based upon requirement and deliverables laid down at the start, Lean UX aims at producing changes to improve the product and the outcomes. Dropping focus on requirement, the team uses problem statement to lead to a set of assumptions, that are used to create hypothesis.

Research & Testing. Assumptions are basically statements of what we think is true. When you get the team to state the problem, they get ideas to solve the problem and the answers form the assumptions. The hypothesis is created to test the assumptions. If there is no way to prove the hypothesis, we may find the outcomes not defined clearly and we may be in the wrong direction. It removes the confusion in the design process.

Every idea is tested with the evidence criteria clearly determined. If evidence is not there, the idea is dropped and another tried out. By understanding hypothesis and expectations from it, the team will wait to see if it is true.

Minimum Viable Product. In Lean UX the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a core concept. The most basic version of the concept is built for the project. It will be abandoned if no results are found. This version is the MVP that can be incorporated to help go forward with design and development. This concept works well with Agile development.

Just as traditional UX, user research & testing is done, but the approach is quick-fire. Research responsibilities are spread widely across the app development team, to increase the level of understanding for the UX work being done.

This is just a simple overview of Lean UX as there is lot more to it. Nevertheless, these basic concepts will help you to start moving in the right direction for your application development project and for implementing Lean UX in an Agile environment.

To Conclude. Creative discussion of the team during development has the objective to build a user-friendly, responsive mobile application that offers great user experience acceptable by the target audience. The above processes will help you in finding the right resources or partner for development. Our team at mobileappoutsourcing can help develop your app for a specific purpose or your business idea.
