What are the limits of a mobile application in 2023?
Over the past few years, the smartphone has become much more than a simple communication tool. In 2023, almost 7 out of 10 people in the world owned one! This intelligent and multifunctional device is now our assistant, our coach, our game support or even our dictionary.
It also replaces cameras, music/video players and cards. It can even serve us to; control the television or our appliances. In short, it would be impossible to list all the uses of a smartphone these days. And it’s thanks to apps that such a small device can perform so many functions. These apps are now becoming more sophisticated and advanced. However, they have their limits.
Resource consumption: how to optimize the user experience of your mobile apps?
You will surely have noticed; that some applications are energy-intensive. This is for example the case of geolocation apps or even video streaming. The smartphone discharges quickly when you use them.
Finally, there are those that consume a lot of RAM and system resources. We cite for example some web browsers.
All of these limitations are detrimental to user experience. You have to charge the smartphone every day, sometimes even twice a day. Additional storage spaces are required. An unexpected crash can also occur…
Compatibility apps: development challenges for iOS and Android
Compatibility issues result from the difference between the operating systems. That’s why apps are almost always available in iOS and Android versions. So the Android version usually does not work on an Apple smartphone. And vice versa.
Developers must therefore use specific languages to each operating system to design the application. This requires a lot of time and resources. In addition, professionals sometimes have limited knowledge of certain programming languages. Companies are then forced to hire several developers for the same project and this can be costly.
Cost and accessibility : finding the balance between quality and profitability
Usually full version apps are paid ones. And that is understandable. After all, the company must maintain and operate them and generally, the user will prefer to pay than to be inundated with advertisements. However, the costs of subscriptions or the price of apps are sometimes too high. In addition, it happens that payments are impossible from certain countries. All this then reduces accessibility of some applications.
