Don't we all just love mobile apps? Well, this application that has become a part of our daily lives has an interesting history and maybe not many people know about it. For many of you, mobile app development started a few years ago with iPhone app development .
First Most Popular App
We cannot speak about mobile app history and fail to recognize some of the most downloaded apps in app history.
However, the first paid Android app to hit the 1 billion mark was 'beautiful widget' and this was in 2011. In 2012, we saw 'drawsomething' receive 50 million downloads within just 50 days of its release. 'Instagram' also received 38 million new downloads in just 3 months from 12 million downloads in January 2012 to over 50 million in April of the same year. The most popular mobile game 'Angry birds' also had more than 1 billion global downloads last May.
The Future of Applications
Currently, around 70% of iPhone users have downloaded an app from any popular brand, while 60% say they are interested in doing the same. According to research conducted by Indiana University, people are more interested in downloading apps from brands they know and this can mean good news for your business.
Both Smartphone and tablet users have different needs when it comes to apps and it's easy to see why the app development industry has such a strong future. What many of you don't know is that app usage is actually higher than mobile web usage and even though initially the business world took more advantage of mobile apps, things have changed and apps have revolutionized the way we meet our needs. Access to the internet is now easy, and statistics show that half of the mobile market is dominated by Smartphones. Hence, this means that there is an increasing demand for apps and App development is now on almost every operating system.
