Cost Estimation for Application development is really quite a complex process. Depending on the type of application and it’s size different types of specialists are needed to make it. Let's take a look at the Facebook example. The company built different variants of its most popular apps. Both Facebook and Messenger have equivalents in version Lite that are reduced in features and are dedicated to older mobile devices. Undoubtedly, these applications' cost estimation will vary significantly from the versions of the full apps.The scope of the project has a huge impact on the cost estimation process.
The history of web applications takes us almost 30 years (!!!) back in time. On December 25th of 1990 at CERN, a Swiss research center, a British physicist and internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee created the world's first web browser, called WorldWideWeb.
So you're thinking about building your own application. You're in the right place. From this article, you'll know everything about becoming an application owner. People who are inexperienced with the IT industry usually think that they need to have the advanced technical knowledge to create a digital product. But it is not true. You don't have to be a developer to make your own application. You can be the brains of it and have others design it for you. But from the idea to the actual app, there are some steps you should go through.
This year is slowly ending. A few days ago, we published an article about graphic design trends for 2024. It's time to find out which trends will thrive in the mobile app development world in the coming year. Why is it worth paying attention to that? The mobile app market is constantly growing. The latest Sensor Tower data shows that worldwide mobile app revenue and downloads increase year to year. In Q3 2020, global consumer spending on mobile apps reached $29.3 billion. The installations expanded to 36.5 billion across Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Compared to the Q3 of 2019, the revenue is 32% higher, and the number of installations grew by 23%.

Few weeks ago I read a CleverTap article that says 28% of the global apps are uninstalled after 30 days, 21% of apps are used once during the first 6 months. That got me thinking, "What happened?". For some reason, those people downloaded the app from the App Store. They certainly noticed something interesting in it. I have deepened the research, and I found out that lack of value, low engagement, and unfriendly design are the most common reasons. How to deal with those difficulties? Well, app owners should focus on building a successful app from the very beginning of software development. This article will show you how to do that.
Did you know that 56% of users uninstall mobile app within just 7 days of installation? Reasons are very simple: users prefer apps that are up-to-date and “require less space, load faster and are stable," says MoEngage study. The answer to these issues may be regular maintenance of an app. Have you heard about it before? Probably yes, but surprisingly, a significant percentage of customers totally forget about this phase and do not include an app maintenance costs in the software development plan.
As a UX/UI Designer working in a software house, I can say that graphic design trends have a huge impact on the app development process. Some UI design trends can last with us for several years, while others quickly become old-fashioned and useless. No doubt, the competition on the app market is ambitious nowadays. Our priority is to always be up to date and focus on distinguishing the client's application from the crowd.
I remember when I was young I couldn’t wait to finish my education. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I hated all of my subjects or wanted to start work at the age of 10 (lol). But I was more focused on getting to the next step, than enjoying the journey itself. Being in kindergarten - I wanted to go to primary school already. When I was in primary school, I wanted to go to highschool. And basically - I could have ended my education there, as, in Poland, it is only obligatory to educate until you’re 18 years old.

Imagine the situation, a few weeks ago, you downloaded the mobile app on your device that allows you to order food without leaving the house. You used it several times, and it worked perfectly. It is Friday evening, and you realized that you need some ingredients to prepare Saturday breakfast for your kids. So, you open the app and start to add the product to the basket. Everything was fine until you wanted to change the number of particular products. You click number 5 next to the tomatoes and... nothing happened. You don't give up and try again, but still ineffectively. Refreshing the application does not help. You still have only one tomato in the basket. The situation is repeated with other products. It sounds terrible, isn't it?
