Mobile app developer: What’s new for them in the year 2013 - benefits or pitfalls?

Previously I discussed on, iPhone app development and its orientation shifting towards the outsourcing for its app development. Now, let’s discuss where the developers are facing problems in maintaining the successful customer relationship. We will even throw some light on the positive aspects of it.

If we look at the current market situation, where the number of smartphone owners has already surpassed 1 billion users worldwide; definitely there has been a positive and a negative effect on mobile application developers and on their customers because of the competitiveness that came into the picture from a jam-packed market.

On the positive side, the consumers and the enterprises have exceptional access on these mobile devices, which proves a productive ground for the companies to reach their mass audience. From the statistics given by Apple Inc. Apple app store has counted approximately 25 billion download in 2012 and it is more than 74% increase over 2011.
