Apps are incredibly convenient to have. Mobile apps can help us with almost everything nowadays – making appointments, ordering food, daily shopping, learning languages, exercising, and nearly anything else. Paraphrasing Apple’s famous slogan: whatever you need, there’s an app for it.
SimForm Research about apps
According to SimForm research, the average person has 40 apps installed on their phone, and millennials have more than 67. As the number of apps on the market grows, so do earnings in the sector. Mobile app industry revenue hit $581.9 billion in 2020, but now Statista predicts it will reach $935 billion.
Plus, you have your mobile phone with you everywhere now, and you probably use it far more than your computer. Think about it – do you want to call a taxi because the meeting ended much later than expected? You can contact the cab straight from a Taxi app (without looking for a taxi’s company mobile phone number on the internet and calling them). And while you wait for the cab, you can order a takeaway lunch delivery from another app.
Outsourcing App Development
Of course, for all those benefits, you need first to think through your app idea (as it has to be something really useful for mobile users, or else it will be buried under tons of similar apps), and two, you need to have an excellent team to build the app. If you don’t have enough money and people to make the app yourself, though, you can outsource it to software houses that have both the experience and the skills needed to design the app the way you want it.
For example, my company decided to outsource a project to a software house, Angry Nerds, as we didn’t have time to work on the app ourselves nor have enough people to make the app – at least, not enough people to make the app look and work as we wanted. But that came later, after the team had researched the app idea, analyzed our skills, and decided that no, no way, we had to look for someone to make the app for us.
