The world today revolves around mobile apps. In the United States, there are expected to be 311 million smartphone users by 2025, presenting a huge opportunity for app developers. But how much does it cost to make an app and maintain it? 

Growth in mobile development determines the popularity of apps and the cost of app creation. The following are the most significant aspects that influence the cost of developing an app - 

  • App's purpose and functionality 
  • Type of vendor and location
  • The procedure for creating an app
  • Size and expertise of the development team
  • The number of features and the complexity of the app
  • Infrastructure, APIs, and integrations on the back end
  • UX/UI design complexity Inclusion of additional branded graphic elements
  • Methodology for development (native, mobile web, hybrid, etc)
  • The number of platforms that will be created (iOS, Android, web, etc)
  • Supported mobile platforms and devices
  • Plan for ongoing maintenance
  • Type of vendor and location

The cost for App Development Service is determined based on widely used app features, design complexity, and software development stages.

  • A basic app has only the key functionalities required for the app to work, as well as a minimal design and user interface elements. The product is only available on one of the following platforms: iOS, Android, or the web. Example - Calculator app.
  • The full product is a mid-level app on one platform that allows the app to be represented on a single platform with more sophisticated features and design. Example - McDonald's loyalty app.
  • A complex app is a high-end solution that offers a comprehensive user experience across a few platforms. This program is a work-in-progress with several functions and users, as well as further UI elements and functionality such as online streaming and multi-user chats. Example - Booking.com, Uber, YouTube. 

We, as an App Development Company, offer a way to bring the app development cost down.

Here’s how an App Development Company can help you can maintain a mobile app - 

1. Reducing Uninstalls and Keeping Mobile Apps Up to Date -

It's a good idea to listen to the consumers' feedback and curate features that represent their preferences. In 2017, more than 20% of millennial smartphone users uninstalled apps merely because they didn't like how the logo appeared on their screen. It means that customers are hyper-aware of features and benefits, and if something doesn't live up to their expectations, they may uninstall your program.

2.Improved User Experiences -

You can benefit from an elegant user experience in the following ways:

  • Build long-term ties with your customers.
  • Get more positive feedback and reviews.
  • Increase customer loyalty by increasing user retention.

With such advantages, it makes sense to put in more effort and give exceptional experiences to users.

3. Increased Long-Term Return on Investment -

When you update your app on a regular basis, you can reap a slew of financial benefits, including increased ROI. It will also aid in the continuous search for new and innovative ways to reduce costs and attract new users. 

4. Minimizing downtime and revenue loss -

Any downtime could result in significant income loss. Due to outages, major corporations have lost considerable revenue. It’s better to take early measures to address such outages to avoid significant losses.

5. Securing Your Mobile App from Cyber Threats -

The popularity of mobile apps increases the need for cybersecurity. It's the responsibility of the app developer to keep an eye on app maintenance and update apps with the most up-to-date security standards.  

Best Practices for Mobile App 

Best practices will improve your app's user experience, resulting in a seamless experience for the users. Here are some things to think about:

1. Adding New Functionality Updates - 

Monitoring and checking out areas for improvement and new features that will add value to your app is a terrific idea.

2. Updating the User Interface (UI) - 

With changing trends and usage habits, you'll need to stay on top of things and keep the user interface updated, which is critical to the success of your app. Existing users will be delighted if your app is trendy.

3. Performance Evaluation - 

Checking the performance of your app is crucial. So keep an eye on loading times, lags, and responsiveness concerns, and use analytics reports to keep up to date. It's critical to understand your retention and churn statistics, as well as assess consumer usage trends and track engagement and conversion rates.

4. System Maintenance Scheduling -

It's a great approach to avoid losing out on issues or bugs if you schedule frequent system maintenance. You can notify users ahead of time that the system will be offline for maintenance and maintain your app up to date.
