A similar situation is everywhere in the world, so Serbia is no exception to the rule. Which applications can most often be seen on the personalized home screens of mobile devices of users in Serbia in 2024? We will try to give you an answer to this question.
The Popularity Of Mobile Applications
Mobile applications have gained immense popularity in recent years. Thanks to their popularity, the earnings they make are increasing. In the entertainment industry, apps are slowly catching up and overtaking almost everyone, even Hollywood. The number of mobile applications is increasing every day, and their purposes are very diverse: From use in social networks and games, those that help us organize our work – to those that remind us to drink water, book a hotel and taxi anywhere in the world.
There are also those whose main goal is to promote social responsibility or to initiate humanitarian actions. In a word, whatever segment of life comes to your mind – there are probably already many applications that can make your life easier and more fun.
Why Do We Love Apps So Much?
We already know that today we use mobile phones for various purposes. For a long time now, they have not only been used for mere conversations – but can also be used in many other ways. Therefore, it’s not surprising that we are using mobile phones more than ever. Numerous studies tell us that on average we spend more than 2 hours a day using a mobile phone. We spend the least of our time on conversations, and far more on texting and using mobile apps.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the market for mobile application development is booming today. These provide various possibilities. They can provide us with various information such as company info, news, selling products, and more. Today, we use applications on three basic platforms, and developers have more and more work to do – providing support to both users and clients who have a request to create applications for their business.
Development Of Mobile Applications And Their Creation
Most experts claim that app development is a demanding but very exciting job. According to techtiqsolutions.com, the development of mobile applications is a process that includes several phases. In the initial phase, the developers work the analysis – so that they understand the client’s idea, goals, and needs. Depending on the activity in which the client is engaged, these can be different types of applications. From those that help him in business, through sales – to entertainment or games that are especially popular.
The job of creating applications must be approached very seriously. Although they seem fun – their release is a serious job that requires professional teamwork. The development itself is demanding but, at the same time, creative job that involves creating a layout – and devising a way in which the application will be interactive with future users. The next stage of development involves the design of the application, which is also very important.
It represents its visual identity and refers to the creation of design concepts, icons, buttons, backgrounds, etc. After that, developers start with programming, but also the elimination of possible shortcomings, if there are any. Finally, with the completion of this part of the work, developers will do the app testing – after which the product is ready to be launched.
