It’s 2020 and we could truly observe “digital self” in us. We start our day with an application that reminds us to wake on time and gives an update about our activities for the day. We end our day either by talking to our family or friends (through video/audio call on an app) OR checking our social media accounts and looking at what’s new is happening in their lives. Mobile devices work as custodians of our daily life and applications inside these devices streamline our day-to-day activities, disrupting the status quo, and making things easier. In a nutshell, mobile apps have become a dominant factor in the lives of human beings and mobile app developers are ruling the market. The concept of mobile applications is very interesting. Our communication, interaction, and several other activities are more or less channeled through different types of mobile apps. Smartphones have become your absolute personal assistant and they possess the power of a PC which gives you ease to carry them in your pocket or handbag. Whether you use them to access the internet, messaging, or gaming, the smartphone is just as important as your car keys or your wallet. You cannot afford to forget it at home. You need them all the time!

Two key factors that drove the users towards the use of mobile apps are:

Cost, usability, desired features, and maximum audience reach make mobile apps the first preference these days.
