Mobile Apps are Designed to Make Mobile Data Faster

The fast pace of life makes users very demanding on the speed of their gadgets’ screens load sites and online stores. According to Kissmetrics research, 46% of smartphone users leave the page if it does not open within the first 10 seconds. That is why online stores must be fast enough to be able to build a strong core of regular customers.

In this, mobile applications have a huge advantage over websites. Since mobile applications for online stores do not need to be connected to the Internet in order to provide users with basic functions such as product comparison or price checking, they effectively use the entire performance of the device. In turn, sites need a constant Internet connection to update any part of their content.

However, this does not mean that speed has no value for mobile applications. Users typically uninstall the application from their devices if it takes too much time to download them. In addition to speed, applications are superior to sites in the following aspects:

• access to the native functions of the smartphone (camcorder, GPS-navigation, voice recognition function)
• interactivity (integration with social networks), and personalization of content
• ease of use and best adaptation for mobile devices

Mobile Apps Convert Visitors into Customers and Increase Sales

According to Forbes, mobile applications increase sales and project revenue in the e-Commerce and m-Commerce segments:

• customers spend 3 to 4 times longer in mobile apps than desktops
• customers spend twice as much money on mobile apps than on mobile sites
• the conversion rate for applications higher than for mobile sites
• the average order value on mobile apps is 140% higher than on mobile sites and 130% higher than on desktops
• The shopping cart abandonment rate in applications is only 20%, while in mobile versions of the site – 97%, and in desktop versions – 68%

Applications put users to purchases, especially since their functionality allows you to pay for an order with one click. Besides, the enhanced functionality of mobile applications allows online stores to control user interaction compared to websites better and receive more detailed analytics. These benefits help business owners personalize their content more accurately and, as a result, implement more advanced recommendation systems to increase conversion rates.

Mobile Apps Increase Customer Loyalty

One of the main advantages of mobile applications is its ability to create brand loyalty. According to Adobe, 67% of online shoppers, who use their mobile devices to make purchases, prefer apps offered by their favorite companies and brands.

Therefore, mobile solutions make the connection between online stores and customers more durable. You may ask how to encourage people to download and install the application. All you need is to provide them with exclusive offers or limited discounts that encourage users to install your application.

Mobile Applications Provide Better UI

The applications’ usability is increased if they have no need for a constant Internet connection. This allows applications to load heavy animations or high-definition images much faster, making the design of a business or startup application stylish, modern, and vibrant.

And the application architecture allows developers to create exclusive and useful features with intuitive navigation. Another advantage that an app on Android or iOS provides is the ability to implement gamification. It has become a trend in application development since it creates a higher level of interactivity and user interaction.

App Prices

1. The basic app - our Monster App, costs $2,999. For $2,999 you receive a native iOS / Apple app and an Android app with a complete private web based dashboard to create and send unlimited notifications, an editable calendar of events or other news, up to 12 geo-fences you can change at any time to reach people that come into your geo fenced area and a group messaging section to send messages to specific user groups with your app on their phone.

2. Custom apps range in price from $9,900 to $250,000

The price is built around hours to build your project. A custom app would have cloud databases and other code building jobs depending on the application. When a database is created for multiple users to share information, APIs need to be created to push and fetch information.

3. Cost Cutting Measures

If your app is a basic monster app with something like a food menu needed for in app purchases, you can avoid extra costs by using firms like Stripe and Square that will give you a web based admin dashboard to add edit and delete items. This way to do not have to pay us to create it and you keep your basic app price.

There is no cost to link to services you are already running on your website as well. Once again, this keeps your app at the basic app price.

App costs escalate quickly when a lot of different remote services need to be developed and stored in the cloud. Partly because of the data gathered in the apps has to be transmitted by APIs in real time to the cloud databases. Your app can go from a one man job for 2 weeks, to a 5 man job for 120 days.
