App development in Nepal

App development in Nepal is the process of developing an application that runs on mobile devices like Android, Tablets, and iOS. Since the beginning of mobile platforms, people are highly attracted to cell phones. Online marketers and businesses can take considerable benefits from this trend. Some mobile applications come pre-installed with the devices whereas some users install themselves. Large companies like Apple and Google provide a store for their applications like Google Play Store and Apple Store for downloading apps.

A user-friendly mobile application generates more sales and revenue. Mobile app development is crucial if business owners want to grow their business. Podamibe Nepal is one of the best mobile app development company in Nepal with years of expertise and hundreds of successfully developed projects.

Mobile App Development started taking its market since the first introduction of Android Smart Phones in late 2008. People were unaware of any such mobile application and development processes till 2010. But since the craze of smartphones took place, people started considering application development for their business. And why shouldn’t they? Technology never stops defining what people can do with the use of cell phones. By the end of 2022, the total number of mobile users will be nearly four billion, which means you will be missing all these users if your business lacks a mobile application.

Mobile app development is not an easy task. Most app development companies are lacking several factors during their development processes, including app performance, bug fixes, and updates. Ensuring clients with a fantastic user experience and serving them the most advanced mobile applications is what most software companies are concerned about. As the use of mobile phones keeps growing, the demand for mobile apps is increasing. We, at Podamibe Nepal, develop an innovative and useful mobile application that will lead your business to success.

Types of app development in Nepal

Most mobile devices have Android, iOS, or Windows operating systems. Different mobile applications serve different purposes. A mobile application might include gaming apps, news apps, job portal apps, music player apps, video player apps, and much more. We can categorize mobile applications into three groups: Native Application, Hybrid Application, and Mobile Web Application.

Native Application

We develop a native application specifically for either the iPhone/iPad or Android devices. For native iOS development, we use the Software Development Kit (SDK) offered by Apple. Google has developed its own Android Software Development Kit that enables us to create amazing Android applications. If we develop a Native app for Android, it won’t work in iOS and vice-versa. Programming languages used for the development of native applications include Objective-C and Swift for iOS, Java, and ADT for Android and .NET (C#) for windows.

These applications need to be updated according to the device version in order to make them compatible. Incompatibility issues might lead to an application crash. The official distributors of these applications are Apple iTunes, Google Play Store, Windows App Store, and Amazon App Store.

Hybrid Application

Hybrid mobile app development integrates with web languages like HTML 5, CSS, and JavaScript. These applications can run on both iOS and Android devices. We create hybrid apps with the composition of native and mobile web apps. These applications have cross-platform compatibility and are suitable for apps that don’t have high-performance requirements but need full device access. For the development of these applications, one needs to be perfect in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Cordova/PhoneGap, and Cross-platform mobile development frameworks. Distributors of these applications are the same as native applications.

Mobile Web Application

These applications are simply web pages that run on mobile devices. These pages run on different web browsers and mobile operating systems. However, a page needs to be mobile-friendly for viewing on Android, iOS, or Windows devices. The languages used in these applications are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, etc., and can be easily accessed via PC web browsers. However, the application gives the best performance in PC browsers whereas an average performance in mobile browsers.

Note: These applications are distributed freely on the web.

 

Why you should invest in mobile app development in Nepal?

According to research, there are more than 38.21 million mobile users in Nepal and now, everyone uses mobile apps for search, online shopping and services. Mobile apps help stay connected with potential users and attract new users. Here are some of the reasons for your business to invest in mobile app development in Nepal.

 

Brand Recognition

Mobile app represents your brand and draw users, products and services. Easy navigation, user-friendly design and engaging function can make your app stand out and increases brand recognition.

 

Competitive Advantage

Studies suggest that mobile app will provide an edge over competitors. Having mobile app helps connect with user quickly and facilitate them.

 

Easy Reach

Sending notifications via app is cheaper and falls under direct marketing. Announcement of event or launch of new product is much easier and target direct audience.

 

What is the best solution for mobile app development?

The advantage of a hybrid mobile application is that it can be developed only once for both mobile platforms. It saves time and money. But a native application often has a better user interface because it is explicitly developed for one system. It is more compatible and reduces the chances of failing some parts of the application.

During mobile app development, one needs to know what they want; otherwise, the application might be nothing but useless. Frameworks that help to build high-end hybrid applications are Xamarin, PhoneGap or Titanium.

Android development is a process of creating applications that run on android operating systems like “Android Donut,” “Android Marshmello,” “Android Oreo,” and the latest Android 9.0 “Pie.” Android apps often need an upgrade with an OS version to make the system compatible. Android applications use the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) released in 2009 along with various languages like Java, C++, Kotlin, JavaScript, etc. Some of these languages also support cross-platform.

 

What we follow for Mobile App Testing

Mobile App Development is not enough always. An application should be compatible with all devices of its category. For this app, system testing strategies need to be carried out. Mobile apps are tested using emulators during the development. Emulators are inexpensive and can be used by developers to test applications on mobiles even if they do not have their physical access. We simulate field testing after the successful development of an app.

Some of the most popular emulators used in mobile testing applications are:

Google Android Emulator

It is an Android emulator that runs on Windows PC and doesn’t need a complete Android SDK. It is easy to install and test android apps in Google Android Emulator.

Official Android SDK Emulator

Officially released by Android, it consists of a full impression of the hardware and software features of a mobile device.

TestiPhone

TestiPhone is a web browser-based emulator for testing iPhone applications. TestiPhone works on Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2, and Safari 2.

iPhoney

Powered by Safari, iPhoney gives a pixel-accurate browsing environment. Rather than a simulator, it is a tool used in the development of websites for an iPhone. iPhoney only runs on OS 10.4.7 or later.

MobiOne Studios

MobiOne is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) developed for windows that help developers to code, debug, test and deploy mobile applications on different devices such as iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc. MobiOne was declared the end of life by the end of 2014, but still, many alternatives to it are found.

 

App store optimization for mobile application development in nepal

After successful completion of mobile app development, what we seek is ASO.

ASO (App Store Optimization) is just like SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which is used to increase rank of websites. But, with ASO, we can get more downloads, better application reviews, and rankings. More the ASO, the better the chances of getting your application across the world. You can also say it is like marketing of mobile application or Mobile App SEO to get more downloads and reach out in the globe. According to Statistics, almost 300 billion apps were downloaded in 2018, and this number is growing every day.

ASO (App Store Optimization) techniques are not much different than SEO. Some of the traditional SEO tactics are even applicable in ASO for optimizing mobile applications. The most common and essential ASO techniques that will get your application more visibility areas are:

• App Name, Title and URL Structure
• App Keywords

• App Ratings and Reviews
