Nowadays this is a must to have mobile friendly website, but many companies go further and develop apps for their website to simplify user experience and add vivid options that web tools can’t provide.

Mobile application development always starts with setting up eventual goal. It may promote, sell, inform or drive more traffic to the website by the means of a handy user interface. As mobile devices have smaller screens comparing to laptops and desktop computers it is very important to design every screen accurately. When all is designed it needs additional testing to make sure user can navigate an app without any problems and doubts. Logic and usability testing are very important. When all is done app gets coded. The next step is full app testing including detailed technical aspects. After that app is ready for publishing on a market with respective marketing description and promotional screenshots.

So what is a mobile app going to do for your business?
Top 4 reasons of going down this path sooner rather than later!

1. Create a Direct Marketing Channel
Apps serve many functions: provide general info, prices, booking forms, search features, user accounts,news feeds, and ets.
One of the biggest benefits of having a mobile app is that all the information you’d like to provide to your customers – including special sales and promotions – is right at their fingertips.

2. Use your Mobile Application as a presentation tool all your listings

- Apple with  AppStore
- Google with Google Play. 

Apple as iOS app development has much higher development and usability standards. There are lots of standards developers should follow to get application approved and published on the AppStore.
Android app development is not that much standardized which is good and bad at the same time. Google Play doesn’t ask much for validating the app and there is no manual validation involved into the process.
