What are the mobile app development trends of 2025?

Many trends are already emerging in app development this year. Some trends involve emerging mobile technologies and applications that help with everyday workflow challenges. Others focus on the importance of UX/UI and cross-platform creations. Read our trends and tips below and let us know how we can help before your next app rollout! One trend we are likely to see in 2015 is new, innovative mobile applications that help businesses maintain their workflow.

EMERGING MOBILE APPLICATIONS

Workflow solutions such as mobile apps that reduce appointment scheduling or appointment reminders are extremely beneficial to busy business managers. Such tools help productivity and raise revenue by lowering the "no-show" averages. Retailers are turning to automated mobile applications, such as "coupon publishing," to increase revenue and engagement with potential customers. Apps like Mint.com on iOS help people manage their money in real time. We are likely to see more apps that address these real issues that individuals and businesses face in the near future.

CROSS-PLATFORM TOOLS

In the past, big technology players were hesitant to create cross-platform devices and software. Steve Jobs vowed to "crush Android" before he died. Bill Gates once wrote one of his most passionate and angry letters based on the idea of proprietorship in software development. But with so much emphasis on open source these days, as Microsoft and others allow Android devices to use their technology, and other factors, the trend toward cross-platform technology is likely to keep increasing. People buying multiple types of devices have also driven this trend, as they often need access to multiple platforms to complete tasks.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS APPS TRUMP CONSUMER ONES

Another trend we are seeing this year is that commercial or enterprise type apps are more popular than consumer apps, meaning that the audience for app development is shifting to business managers, CEO's, and It experts, rather than average consumers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF UX/UI IN APP DESIGN

Android and iOS app developers alike have also come to understand the importance of UX and UI in app design. UX is the overall experience users have when using an app. It needs to be easy to use, accessible in every way, and should create a positive user experience. Some of this comes from the UI (user interface), because it's the first thing consumers encounter when using your app. Successful mobile app developers in 2015 will need to be even more aware of this factor as they develop apps in the future so their apps are user-friendly, work on different devices, and do what they promise. Best practices in UX and UI involve creating hardware and software that deliver what they promise, meet a need, and listen to customer feedback on long-term improvements.
