Mobile App Development

Mobile App Development

A mobile application or app is a computer program or software application designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet, or watch. Mobile applications often stand in contrast to desktop applications which are designed to run on desktop computers, and web applications which run in mobile web browsers rather than directly on the mobile device.

Apps were originally intended for productivity assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are now millions of apps available. Many apps require Internet access. Apps are generally downloaded from app stores, which are a type of digital distribution platforms.

    5 Steps of App Development:

  • Idea creation. The goal: Specify your idea and minimum viable product - MVP.
  • Sketching. The goal: Make the main idea of the app/website clear to everyone involved.
  • Wireframing. The goal: Create a clear visualization of how the app will look.
  • Graphic designing.
  • Coding and programming
