Mobile APP TRENDS IN 2016

Introduction

• When it comes to mobile industry, developers
  cannot possibly rely on older technologies and
  development tools. And the same goes for older
  app development strategies and plans. The role of
  innovation and the adoption of latest trends is
  quite an important part of corporate culture and
  enterprises cannot afford falling behind. Mobile
  industry goes through rapid changes because of
  latest gadgets, new development technologies and
  other trends.
• Devices and technologies that influence the
  overall development process are wearable devices
  like fitness devices, smart watches and others,
  cloud technologies and IoT (Internet of Things).
  Lets see some popular app development trend for
  2016.

Hybrid HTML5 Apps

• Although the majority of developers prefer native
  mobile apps but HTML5 has been getting traction
  for quite some time and it has shown tremendous
  performance and elegance in app development. No
  doubt, hybrid HTML5 app development will gain
  more and more momentum in mobile industry and
  this trend is not going to change in foreseeable
  future. Hybrid HTML5 apps are successful in
  enterprise and consumer app development.
• Developers should consider hybrid HTML5 as a
  serious app development option as enterprises are
  going to lean this way in upcoming months.
  Interestingly, no other platform is in
  competition with hybrid HTML5 at this moment that
  makes it a reasonable option to consider now. One
  of the emerging frameworks for building apps
  is Ionic framework, its quite new in the game
  but its gaining a lot of attention from mobile
  developers.
• But, even if Hybrid development is increasing, if
  you want to get the best quality apps you should
  stick to native development.

Cross Platform App Development

• Tablets sale was on the rise a while ago but now
  people are moving toward other form factors.
  However, tablets are still popular on enterprise
  level and in some industries. For example, mobile
  workers use tablets to connect with their
  customers, clients and business. Emergency
  responders, utility engineers and technicians
  benefit from tablets because of their mobility,
  portability and performance. However, tablet
  sales are decreasing now.
• Developers should work on cross platform
  solutions so mobile workers can easily transit
  from desktop computers to mobile devices. People
  want to use exact same applications with exact
  features, performance and capabilities on
  different devices and different platforms. Cross
  platform app development is going to dominate the
  industry in 2016.

Big Data Visualization

• IoT is finally here and of course it is also the
  future of enterprises. The biggest challenge
  enterprises will face is the data management
  because IoT will connect billions of devices
  together. Enterprises need to find data
  management and data visualization tools and
  solutions to deal with large set of data. All of
  the connected devices will be sending tons of
  data that will be useless without proper
  organization.
• Other than the visualization problem, enterprises
  also need to find performance solutions so the
  platforms can process everything in real-time
  without becoming a victim of bottleneck problem.
  The rapid decision making capabilities are needed
  where tactical decisions are made.

Fewer Platforms

• There are millions of apps and platforms that
  allow users to perform a single task to solve a
  single problem. However, people prefer suite apps
  which come with numerous features. Users want to
  see everything in one place and that is
  absolutely a reasonable demand. Software and apps
  that solve a single issue will be acquired by
  enterprises eventually.
• In other words, the number of apps and platforms
  is going to reduce dramatically in upcoming years
  and the quality of apps is going to improve. All
  of these things are in favor of end-users.
  However, this is quite a challenge for developers
  as they need to focus on more than one problem at
  a time to survive in the industry. On the other
  hand, developers who already have apps
  effectively solving specific issues should expect
  to be acquired by enterprises in upcoming years.

Integration of Mobile Apps and IoT

• IoT is relatively new and the majority of
  companies have no idea how they can use IoT to
  increase their sales and business. However, there
  is one thing which is crystal clear IoT is the
  future and it is going to be integrated with our
  lives and everything we use on daily basis. That
  includes our mobile devices as well. Enterprises
  related to some specific industries like
  health-care, energy and automotive have already
  started experimenting with IoT and mobile
  integration.
• However, there is a need of improving the backend
  infrastructure of mobile platforms so they can
  communicate with all connected devices. In other
  words, IoT is going to be an important part of
  mobile app development in upcoming years.

Mobile Security

• People are willing to pay more money to keep
  their data and information safe. Some certain
  sectors like banks and health-care institutes
  attract cyber criminals because of their valuable
  information and financial benefits. Developers
  should adopt latest security practices to secure
  their apps infrastructure as well as the data it
  processes.
• Unfortunately it is easier to say but quite hard
  to achieve because of the individual mindset of
  focusing on functionality and lack of proper
  security policies on enterprise level. Developers
  have to face the challenge of dealing with
  security vulnerabilities in 2016.

Wearable Devices

• No wonder, wearable devices have become an
  important part of our lives. There are smart
  watches, fitness devices and many other wearable
  devices that connect with mobile devices, not to
  mention the VR which has been getting popularity
  all over the globe for last couple of months.
  People want better integration of wearable
  devices with their phones and tablets. They want
  better apps with better interfaces and
  performance.
• The adoption rate of wearable devices in the
  market is way more than what experts predicted
  few years ago. The biggest advantage developers
  have is wearable devices have lot of room for
  improvement and this trend is not going to vanish
  in next few years. People who own smart watches
  prefer apps on their phones that also support
  wearable devices.
