Custom Android App Development Trends for 2016 Google Play Store, the official app store for the Android operating system; is a highly competitive place from where millions of apps are available for download. Android devices are undoubtedly the new norm. Right from startups, small and medium sized businesses to enterprise level companies, literally everyone is going mobile. Creating an app is among the top priorities for businesses across the globe. If you are planning to launch your Android app, here are the few trends to watch out in 2016.

User experience will become the focus, influencing the app development strategy. 2016 will witness a paradigm shift in Android application development. Development teams will focus on apps that cater to as many – if not all of the user expectations, as possible. With several new apps launching on the Google’s Play Store daily, competition is at its peak as well, thus the focus on developing an improved in-app user experience is more critical than ever. Data from analytic tools will play a major role in helping app developers refine and provide a better user experience.

These trends will dominate the custom Android app development arena in 2016

Location based support

Information is getting exceedingly contextual and localized. Users are mainly interested in localized services. This takes personalization to the next level. Think about it - you can now get details about discounts or special events in your area, right on your mobile. Location-based services are gaining popularity. It will be a daunting task to build sophisticated location-based apps, that keep you upto date, and do not drain the battery of your Android device.
Beacon and location based Wi-Fi services have been getting a lot of attention and in the coming year more businesses will make use of such Beacon and location based Wi-Fi services in their apps.

Biometrics will Become Essential

Android Marshmallow saw the launch of fingerprint security. 2016 will see the use of more biometric security systems for Android smartphones. Large financial institutions will use apps that take thumb impressions and biometric security extensively to combat security threats. Alphanumeric passwords and pattern locks will soon become primitive options.

Internet of Things will Witness Huge Growth

The Internet of Things will allow connecting with multiple devices and controlling smart appliances, allowing users to use their Android devices to optimize the use of home appliances and other ‘smart’ equipment.
The Internet of Things movement is all about bridging the gap between the Android device and items embedded with electronics, software or sensors, allowing the user to control them.

Enterprise apps will steal the thunder in the market In the year 2016,
large enterprises will have their own apps for consumer services and data management. Prominent developers predict that enterprise apps will dominate the market. We will witness the launch of many more enterprises apps, designed to improve efficiency and productivity, as well as to streamline everyday processes.
