Tapping into the Gaming Market

March 12th, 2012 | Posted by KristenM in Mobile Application Development - (0 Comments)

Android game developmentLast week we discussed the gaming market and App Partner’s future program to bring mobile games to the web. We mentioned how the gaming market is booming and today I’d like to delve into that a bit more. Just by going to the App Store on my iPhone, I can immediately see that games are the “hottest” and best selling apps. Not to downplay the importance of having notepads, spending habit apps, and restaurant locators –these are all incredibly useful apps that sell just fine– but when people are bored on the subway, they’re going to choose a game over a weather app.

The game market is so large that when you browse the store, it’s broken down into categories/types of games, such as racing, puzzle, action, etc. No other category needs to break down quite so much. That gives you somewhat of an idea about how many games there are. Even the Apple iPod Touch has seen a change in marketing strategy. It went from an intuitive way to listen to music to a gaming device, competing with other handheld devices. Nearly 65% of the 2 billion apps downloaded in the Apple store were games.

As you can see, it’s a large market that shows no signs of stopping. Luckily for you, App Partner specializes in Apple and Android game development. We challenge you to come up with the next great gaming idea and our mobile application development team will bring it to life.

Mobile Games on the Web

March 5th, 2012 | Posted by KristenM in Mobile Application Development - (0 Comments)

Android game developmentApp Partner is always looking for ways to stay ahead of the game, pun intended. We already know that mobile gaming is turning into a huge market. People who may not even normally play video games at home are itching to have something to do while on their phone. Mom and Dad are better at Words with Friends and Cut the Rope than the kids! If you’re going to create any app, it might as well be a game.

Okay so the customers have it on their phones, but what if they’re dying to play while at home? Maybe they don’t want to kill their battery or use such a small screen. How do you feel about bringing your mobile game to the Internet? Soon you can. App Partner is currently in the beta phase of this genius idea. By moving your mobile game to the Internet, you can help increase your audience and further promote your company. People spend a lot of time on both their phone and the computer. Why not tap into both markets and take over the gaming world? Okay, maybe it won’t be a takeover, but business will definitely see the positive effects.

What other app developers can offer this? Be on the lookout for this new feature and in the meantime, talk to App Partner about Apple or Android game development.

From Concept to Product

February 27th, 2012 | Posted by KristenM in Mobile Application Development - (0 Comments)
application development servicesApp Partner is in the business of application development services which means working with you from the concept stage to launch. They provide a step by step process that involves you every bit of the way. It all starts with a concept, your concept. Whether you have very specific ideas in mind or just an overall idea that you need help with, they can give your vision life. After understanding your goals, they will move onto the design process. The design team can help you visualize your future app with mockups for your approval.
But the conversation between client and company doesn’t stop there. Even after the coding and development begins, App Partner will keep you involved with prototypes along the way. They will not move forward until you give the green light. Other companies might take your idea and opt to do what they think is best. You’ll literally feel as though you’ve been left in the dark until one day they randomly send you the finished product. And that’s the difference between those app developers and App Partners. You will be continually kept in the loop until you feel comfortable with the finished product.
Only then when the app has been fully approved and tested will it be officially submitted for approval to the Apple or Android market.

Keep It Glitch Free

February 21st, 2012 | Posted by KristenM in Mobile Application Development - (0 Comments)
app developersAs someone with an iPhone and plenty of apps taking up space on said device, I know how important reviews are to the app market. I have never once purchased an app without either a recommendation from friends or reading a few pages of user reviews. Reviews are important for any business, no matter what it is you’re selling. Do you buy products on Amazon with a 1 star review?
The biggest complaint seen in apps across the board are glitches and crashes. Every so often, an app is going to crash or freeze. That’s technology for you. But an app that crashes everyday is not going to generate positive feedback. Sure, you’ll always come across 1 or 2 reviews that mention it’s “buggy” or “glitchy,” and people will assume it’s a problem with that person’s phone. But if you notice 10 reviews citing the same problems, it’s time to go back to testing.
With App Partner as your app developers, you can rest easy knowing your app has been tested several times over to ensure it works properly. If something isn’t working, it won’t launch, and as an added layer of security, App Partner Development provides 3 months of free bug support. An app that doesn’t work as intended is pointless. Put out a quality product and people will come flocking. App Partner wants to see your app on that featured page with plenty of positive reviews!

The Future Is in the Mobile Market

mobile software development

Apple boasts over 500,000 apps in their store and that number shows no signs of decreasing. The Android market is very close behind with 400,000 on the market and both can celebrate billions of downloads to date. That’s incredible, to say the least. The mobile market has been steadily climbing over the last few years, thanks mainly to the iPhone for starting one heck of a trend. We spend hours on our phones and the majority of us, especially young people, have a smartphone.
The mobile market is not something that is going to stay “hot” for the next few years and then die off. Technology will continue to improve, creating smarter operating systems and faster hardware. But we’re not going to rid ourselves of our mobile devices. Instead, they will probably be able to do more than they already can. That’s why it’s crucial for companies to jump on the bandwagon.
If you don’t have an app, you’re missing out on huge monetary opportunities. It’s not only another way to tap into more revenue, it’s a way to stay connected to your customers all the time. Connect to your market with the right app developers and stay ahead of the game. App Partner Development can offer mobile application development services that can push your company into the 21st century.
