What goes up must come down, and the year of 2016 was a testimony to this fact. While Android App Development and iOS App Development saw new trendsetters in the game, witnessed the old thresholds being overpowered, and also attained a swell in user numbers, it also realized that nothing lasts forever, especially when your application developers are looking to go static. One of the leading applications was the famous ‘Pokemon Go’ that made going out cool again. However, the fun wasn’t to last for long, and eventually, the application, with all its user numbers and surging stock prices faced an inevitable slump. While there was nothing alarming about the application that led to its eventual downfall, experts were left wondering what really let the users off the hook?
2016 has some interesting trends to offer in the domain of Android and iOS Application Development, and Pokemon Go was critical to these trends as it offered a much-needed shift from the madness of on-demand services that had taken over. We term this as madness because every startup was looking to create an application based on the ‘Uber for X’ model, without understanding the market, the supply-demand graph, or in some cases, even their own product. There was a prevailing haste within the market that caused many startups to falter. Certainly, this faltering had a direct impact on the factors that dictated the trends of Android and iOS Application Development. However, one must note that despite the consistent failures, the domain of on-demand services has been quite strong for the year, and one can expect further growth in the same in the upcoming years. With businesses worth billions looking to shift or initiate their operations online, one can safely assume for a progressive growth in the area of on-demand services.
What Pokemon Go did was cause an unprecedented shift of attention from on-demand services to the conventional form of Android and iOS Application development that had captivated users before the coming of Uber. People were again hooked to games, educational applications, news and magazine broadcasts, and the earlier categories in Android and iOS Application Development saw a much-needed upheaval in numbers, given how they were losing ground to on-demand services. Even with the on-demand services serving completely different applications and utilities, they were occupying a considerable space on the device and more importantly, the mind of the user. Through the short-term success of Pokemon Go, one can hope for the conventional applications to stay meaningful.
Apart from On-Demand Services and conventional Android and iOS Application Development, users went for other utility applications that did not require the presence of any professionals. In this aspect, Google garnered unparalleled success as its applications helped users with better search results and operations like news, maps, and other location-based services.
The era of Android and iOS Application Development has just begun and there is going to be much more to it than what meets the eye. With the enhancing of the hardware with each passing year, one can expect more developments in Android and iOS Application Development, especially with the coming of beacons, the extensive use of native technology and hardware in application development, the engaging UX and UI Designs, and the presence of cost-effective solutions that has made it possible for everyone to own a Smartphone. For the ones engaged in the business of Android and iOS Application Development, the future offers nothing but a vast horizon gleaming with countless opportunities.
