Mobile Apps Future 2017 and Beyond

mobile apps

The world of mobile apps has certainly changed, especially when you consider that mobile apps haven’t been around for that long.

According to Knoxweb, when Steve Jobs introduced the very first Macintosh he predicted the explosion of this new digital system. Jobs proclaimed that it would be like a record store where you could download software over phone lines. Mr. Jobs saw app stores and mobile apps emerging quickly. The first emerged from the game Snake debuting in 2008.

Fast forward to 2017, where mobile apps are used for everything from gaming and telephony to utilities. There are apps used to dominate your experience, and apps that are your, “Home screen.” These days’ mobile apps are used to maximize your experience without taking over your attention. So what’s next?

Content Volume

Because there is so much content produced, it will eventually lead to managing mobile apps differently. A new concept that is proving to be quite persuasive and something that is already being used by Facebook and Twitter is the, “Card.” The card allows your content to be presented consistently, and with mobile becoming more wearable, it is imperative that intelligent aggregation takes place in order to fuel the innovation of the mobile app.

Every Screen

Knoxweb explains that multiscreens will become every-screen with mobile app developers designing a single mobile app for all devices and not just mobile and desktop. Web designers are coming up with a single experience that will allow the user to stretch across any web connected terminal. This type of application would be used with the card system so that users can connect anywhere in the world.

Customizable Mobile Apps

Some analysts believe that apps as you know them now will no longer exist being replaced by services and brand names that will provide you with actionable insights 24/7. It will be like your own personalized newsfeed that is loaded with the products and services that you want and use. Everything will be presented in real time when you need it most.

Emojis

Marketers are discovering that one of the biggest ways to entice people of all ages is with Emoji apps. The apps that gained popularity with the coveted millennial market are influencing younger and older generations as well. Generation Z, the eldest of the millennial’s’ with men and women in their mid thirties, grew up with social media and a digitally connected world.

Connecting with text, images, and emojis that give users emotions such as a heart, a smile, or a wink is fun and breaks up boring text messages. Smart businesses and organizations are using emjois to communicate with their desired demographic infiltrating mobile devices.

One of the most popular communication trends is now the popular way to brand products and services. Facebook offers brands opportunities to showcase products and services with emojis in its messaging app.

The future of mobile apps remains to be seen, but according to Knoxweb will continue to become increasingly seamless, regardless of the device that is being used.
