The Importance Of Mobile Applications In Everyday Life!
Crucial roles that mobile applications play in day-to-day life
With more than 3 billion smartphone users existing in the world, the app industry has got involved in almost every part of our lives. Be it entertainment, healthcare, financial management, or traveling, an app is ready to assist you anytime you want.
Now, with such keen interest that app developers are taking in serving the smartphone users, smartphone manufacturers are focusing on improved performances as well. Modern phones are more capable in terms of hardware and operating systems. The purpose is to support heavy and visually stunning applications so they can function smoothly.
In this blog, we are separating a few importances of mobile applications. If you are a developer or an app development company, these importances can help you in finalizing your new app ideas so you can serve smartphone users in the future according to their needs.
1. Mobile applications in healthcare
As per a report shared by Statista, Compared to a global market size of 21 billion US dollars in 2016, in 2021, the mobile healthcare market is expected to reach 100 billion dollars. This shows the rapid adoption of mobile healthcare services through various mediums including mobile apps.
Take examples of healthcare apps such as Generis, Med&Beyond, Epocrates, and more. These apps are serving the healthcare needs in different ways such as medicine and routine check-up reminders, virtual consultations, and emergency alerts among others.
Healthcare apps are mainly useful for the elderly and people with diseases such as Alzheimer's. Moreover, due to smart devices such as fitness bands, the popularity, and accuracy of healthcare apps will only increase with time.
2. Mobile applications in gaming
Since the evolution of mobile phones, even before they were smart, games were one of the crucial parts they consisted of. From old Java phones with games such as Snake to new smartphones with games such as PUBG, the only thing that has changed is the quality. Due to the increased capabilities, smartphones currently can offer stunning visuals and amazing sound quality in their games. Therefore, with time, smartphone gaming is not only getting addictive, but it is also turning into one of the officially recognized e-competitions.
3. Mobile applications in Education
When Covid took over the world starting in 2019, people had no choice but to stay at home. It severely affected sectors such as education as many learners around the world had no access to study materials. However, we were advanced enough to have the privilege of education apps such as YouTube, Udemy, and Khan Academy among others.
This not only kept the learning system alive during the global pandemic but also contributed crucially to shaping a different educational system for the future as well. Now developers, as well as teachers, understand the importance of mobile apps in the education system and how it can only benefit to expand the learning into more areas despite the timing or location.
4. Mobile applications in Communication
While discussing the everyday contribution mobile apps are making in our lives, Communication no doubt stands on the top. Facebook, Instagram, Skype, and Twitter among others have kept us connected with the world for more than a decade. With a few taps, we can connect with our favorite friends, colleagues, and whoever we want to even without moving an inch. Well, again, Covid 19 is the perfect example of why such apps are crucial now for our lives.
5. Mobile applications in Finance
In the financial sector, be it banking or share market, mobile apps are blessing smartphone users with financial transparency. Now managing finances over the phone is child’s play. You can transfer money to whoever you want, make payments, order products, and services, exchange currencies, and even invest within minutes. It had not only saved people from burning extra time and resources by going to banks and ATMs for small tasks, but also provided an extra layer of security to financial assets by having a tab on them in real-time.
6. Mobile applications in traveling
Of Course, traveling is one of the most important sectors where experience is everything. Go back a few decades back and there was no convenient traveling existing compared to modern times. With apps such as Uber, one can book cabs, with Airbnb, booking hotels is easier, flights are waiting to get booked on apps such as Skyscanner, and more. In short, mobile apps are helping users in exploring and arranging everything to make the travel convenient without having to wander to search resources for hours.
To conclude, the contributions of mobile apps that we discussed above are some of the many that we are experiencing almost every day. Now, as we are getting habitual to the comfort and convenience, mobile apps are contributing to serving us better. Moreover, now that we already have access to such services, the thing that may concern mobile app developers is the experience that will have to keep improving to lead the race.

The Last Countdown
Diane sat in her vehicle, the downpour pattering on the windshield like a fretful metronome. The ticking of the dashboard clock synchronized with her pulse, each passing second a horrible update that she was using up all available time. White noise filled the vehicle, including the engine's constant hum, the distant drone of traffic, and the gentle hiss of rain hitting the windows. But Diane was concentrating on the courthouse across the street, and as she gripped the wheel, her knuckles turned white. She had not seen her son Ben in two years. He'd been just 18 when a terrible choice with some unacceptable group landed him in prison, and presently he was at long last being delivered. During the trial, Diane had been present and had to put up with lawyers who had told her that he would "bounce back." However, the truth was more extreme. She was aware that his time in prison had taken its toll and that he had lost some of his spirit with each passing day. Presently, with just 53 seconds to go, Diane's heart hustled quicker. She looked at the town hall, attempting to look through the downpour streaked windshield, her breath hazing up the glass. Numerous stories of hopelessness and despair had been told in the old building, and the clock tower there seemed to make fun of her anxiety. In an effort to get a clear view of the steps from which Ben would soon emerge, she wiped away the fog. Her surroundings continued to move at an indifferent pace. She heard a canine yapping somewhere out there, saw walkers clustering under umbrellas, and vehicles passing by without a subsequent look. However, for Diane, the universe had condensed to a single time and place. Everything was contingent on what would transpire in the following few seconds. Her throat tightened when the doors to the courthouse opened. The downpour and her own tears blurred the figures as they began to emerge. She immediately cleaned her eyes, looking for the recognizable step and hair wave that had a place with her child. Milliseconds felt like hours, and it seemed like time was expanding and contracting simultaneously. She paused her breathing, filtering each face for a brief look at Ben's elements, trusting that jail hadn't transformed him to an extreme. Then, he was right there. Unsure of his surroundings, a young man cautiously stepped outside while glancing around in the rain. The beat of Diane's heart stopped. He had a sharper edge to him than she remembered, and he was thinner than she remembered. However, it was her Ben—him. She pushed open the vehicle entryway, not thinking often about the ticking clock or the motor actually running. She barely noticed that the rain had soaked her hair and clothes. "Ben!" she called out, her voice breaking with urgency. Her words made it to him, but the wind swept them away. Their gazes met as his head jerked upward. Time stood still as he was recognized and trusted in his gaze. Maybe the whole world had contracted to the space between them, as though all the other things failed to issue. Ben moved cautiously forward, followed by another. Each step was loaded up with vulnerability, like he was trying the ground underneath him. As she watched him approach, Diane felt her heart pound. "Mom?" he said, his voice speculative and loaded up with doubt. She didn't pause. She surged toward him, her arms outstretched, prepared to close the hole between them. At the point when they at last impacted, maybe the most recent two years dissolved away. Diane clutched her child as though she could never give up, the tears and downpour blending on her cheeks. She reenacted each and every time they had been apart, including every moment of worry and fear, every night without sleep, and every prayer for his safety. Time restarted in that embrace, but now each tick of the clock was a new moment. The aloof world went on around them, however it at this point not made a difference. Despite everything, Diane and Ben had reunited, and their bond was stronger than ever. The downpour washed away the long stretches of torment and uncertainty, leaving them with a new beginning. The last commencement had finished, and their fresh start had quite recently started.

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
