<\/span><\/h2>\nThe best approach is looking at your immediate competitors so as to come up with something truly unique. Probe the competitor\u2019s strategy and research likewise products that\u2019ll help in determining the feature-set of your app\u2019s position as more valuable than the existing line!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Consider Your MVP<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen partnering with a <\/span>mobile application development company in Dubai, they would require some details of your <\/span>Minimum Viable Product (MVP)<\/span><\/i>. As you progress, the development team would further help in defining the <\/span>MVP <\/span><\/i>and you can also elaborate some other ideas at this point if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nRemember that an <\/span>MVP <\/span><\/i>is a product\u2019s version which incorporates only those features crucial in bolstering the app to the market. It\u2019s a cost-effective way to determine a product’s viability, functionality and demand in the market. An <\/span>MVP <\/span><\/i>allows you to improve the product with strategic decisions based on smart research which equally maximises <\/span>ROI <\/span><\/i>with each of the released versions.<\/span><\/p>\nMoving ahead with the <\/span>MVP <\/span><\/i>outline, you\u2019re likely to end with a core set of listed features crucial towards long-term goals and success. Using a prioritisation matrix would help in identifying the features that are likely to make the most impact. When creating an <\/span>MVP<\/span><\/i>, it must be noted that the finished product should be achievable within at least 90-days!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Product Discovery<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nOnce done with the initial homework and have the partnership established, you\u2019ll jump into the thick of development. The developers along with you would hold an internal meeting to come clear with the task at hand. The meeting is likely to be held between <\/span>Internal Project Manager (IPM), Accounts Executive, UI\/UX Designer, Technical Project Manager (TPM) <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Architect<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>Minimum Marketable Features (MMF) <\/span><\/i>are also discussed alongside the project’s duration.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Mobile Applications for Game Development<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nFor game developers and studios, mobile apps were once a dream come true but the boom in recent years has touched every industry including travel, business and technology with many dedicated apps for every niche.<\/span><\/p>\nUsers of <\/span>mobile application in Dubai and around the world grow approximately 20-times per month on an average during the Q1 of 2024. Social apps take the lead with more or less 25%+ launches per month, closely followed by business and technology, travel and lifestyle applications with around 18%+ launches and growing.<\/span><\/p>\nApps for entertainment and media industry fall in second place with approximately 17 launches per month average with retail and eCommerce apps following closely, around 12 times a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Mobile Dominates Desktop for Apps<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nIt began with the complete association to the entertainment industry but now penetrates the global consumer market. More than a million users around the world rely on mobile applications for directions, perform business tasks and make online purchases. Gaming and entertainment along with social media still take most of the average consumer time in both developed and emerging markets. Majority of users today now spend most of their digital minutes on mobile.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Mobile Mix & Retention\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nA report concluded that an average mobile app session length takes more or less five minutes per month with average consumer spending of around 74 minutes-per-month on mobile apps. These figures are interpreted bearing in mind that many users out there don\u2019t even use mobile apps at all.<\/span><\/p>\nThe statistics also explain the rise in the use of business, technology and travel apps. Capitalists and entrepreneurs rarely or simply don\u2019t ever install a game app on their smart device however; they exploit apps for mapping, booking and conduct various business activities.<\/span><\/p>\nTechnology applications are also growing amongst businessmen ever since developers have released more secure and versatile\/multi-function apps. That being said, the game sector experienced a decline of approximately two-to-three per cent by the end of 2019. Then again, mobile apps have yet to achieve holding rates among global consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Location-based Services are Paramount<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nAlmost all mobile devices nowadays feature GPS capabilities which is a huge driving factor in the corporate and ecommerce app sector. <\/span>Location-Based Services (LBS) <\/span><\/i>are able to provide real-time details and send push-notifications based on the user’s current location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLBS <\/span><\/i>takes on a massive consumer market such as navigation, travel, ecommerce gateway, shopping portals, retail-and-food offers alongside many others. Chatbots and virtual assistants are also incorporated thus contributing to the overall market of <\/span>mobile application in Dubai and worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\nAnalysts also provided various forecast models for the entire app market in coming years however; a traditional estimate by 2024 is gross total revenue exceeding more or less $190 billion. A huge contribution is in hospitality, travel, business and technology apps per their usability and reliability; taking a huge portion from the gaming and entertainment sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>The Next Generation Mobile Apps are Powered by <\/b>Amazon Alexa<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nOne thing\u2019s pretty obvious; voice assistance in mobile app development is here to stay and rather evolving into every other industry as we know it. From healthcare to automotive and many others, there has been a dramatic growth of digital assistants.<\/span><\/p>\nThat being said, <\/span>Amazon\u2019s Alexa <\/span><\/i>came forth with appealing integration among major brands from around the world.
