Reasons For Using Cloud Mobile Apps

The number of mobile app in their respective mobile stores have been continuously flooding at fast scale . According to recent report of statista ,  more than 5 million in combination  has already been present on google play and apple App Store .

But it is fact that all these are of no equal nature . The most common app trend being followed in native mobile app development . That specifically means you have to download those apps from the stores in order to use the same in your phone .

But well this article is about cloud apps !! So what basically is cloud app ? Cloud apps are basically apps which gets live on server and can be easily accessed from a web browser .

Thinking of which to choose between cloud and native app ? Well let me explain why everyone is loving using cloud app .  You can use this guide as reference to make an informed decision before going for a mobile app development company .

Helps In Launching App On Both Platform Simultaneously 

Unlike native apps which are being build specifically for both the platforms separately , cloud apps works on both the platform on the go .

This will save your time , and also your job much easier as it exposes your app to wider audience . And obviously it will eradicate the conflict of which one to choose first . Lets say for instance , you are promoting your app on social media , and you have made your app specifically for Apple iOS user , then the crowd which is using android as operating system will no where like your page or will have interest in your marketing campaign on the launch day , thereby loosing the major part of the customer .

You will not face this dilemma if you have opted for building a cloud app .

Low Cost For Building 

If you have been involved in developing an native mobile app earlier , you must have been aware of that mobile app development cost is one of the most expensive investment that your business decision maker have to make in life .

Well , how much does it really cost to develop an app ? That all depends on your requirement .

For starters , the very first decision being choosing between Android and iOS app development . Usually the Android development will take two to three time more time that developing an app for iPhone .

So for anyone who is looking for both the platform in native one , it will double the cost of their investment .

For startups and small business , cloud apps are the best decision which can be developed in a limited budget and will also have wider reach of audience at once .

Save Time

How much time it takes to develop an app ? Again that all deepens on your requirement . Native app is a lengthily process and the time depends on lots of factor and type of app you are looking to develop .

So assuming you are building complex app with specific set of features , the development process in native app will usually take between 6-12 months . In some cases , where there is lot of complexity , it may take more than 1 year to build .

Fortunately , Cloud based app does not takes a long time to build , and you don't have to go through cumbersome task . Developing a one stable version which works across all platform is extremely time efficient. .

Launching your app on all the market necessarily means that you will be able to get to know your return on investment earlier and make necessary arrangement for the improvement of the same .

No Need To Get Installed

Cloud based apps need not to be installed on the user device to get to work . User can easily have the benefit of it from a phone browser .

However this is not the case in case of native app , wherein user have to first download the app , complete  all functionalities and then can play with the app . Secondly , user will also have to update the different versions of the app from time to time on the basis of improvements provided by the app developer .

Cloud apps are web based applications , which fetch data from the cloud , which is the reason behind its smooth functioning .

Easier To Scale 

App once launched is not done !! You need to provide regular updates with latest technology and feature implementation to your user , else your app will tend to be useless for the user . This basically is the case in case of native app . 

Also just make a note of it , that the regular update of app requires app maintenance . And this app maintenance will not be any cheaper for you .

With cloud app , its easier to scale your app to any level without increasing much cost of it .

Data Recovery 

Assume everything is stores in your phone memory , in case of native app . What will happed in case your phone gets damaged or destroyed ? All your data will get truncated most probably without getting uploaded on the server .

However this is not the case with cloud app , in which data is stored on the cloud only and not local devices .

Conclusion 

If you are looking for small app together with safe and within budget solution , you can opt in for cloud app , it will usually be the best solution for you . At the same time you can target both Android and iOS user audience in less expensive manner . Rest all depends your requirement , complexity and budget .
