Many small business owners as well as large business owners today still all too casually shrug off the idea of having a mobile app developed that will provide them with the opportunity to “interact” and “transact” with both their current and prospective clientele. This is despite the fact that current statistics – including those provided by Pew Research’s Internet and American Life Project; 2014 – show that 58 percent of American’s own and use a smartphone.
As this trend continues to thrive – dramatic escalation is predicted to occur over the course of the next few years – we will notice more people flocking to the smartphone arena. Whether these people intend to choose iOS, Android or Windows still remains to be seen as each carries its own share of pros’ and cons’. One thing we do know for certain, however, is that no matter the platform chosen, smartphone users will continually be in need of high quality apps, which app development Denver creates.
In fact, according to the same statistics that were previously mentioned, a whopping 83 percent of those younger than 30 years old own a smartphone. These numbers continually decline as people age; slipping to 74 percent for those between ages 30 and 49; and 49 percent for those between 50 and 64 percent. People over 65 years of age fall into a percentage rate of 19. Even with the differences in percentages – which isn’t much to be honest – we can still see a future bright with mobile apps.
In May 2013 alone, 63 percent of all adult smartphone owners used their phone to access the internet, whereas 50 percent downloaded some variety of mobile app. Whether it be for pleasure or business. Of the percentage represented above, 34 percent of these people use mostly their smartphone to access the internet, rather than using their computer or tablet. As an owner of all three, I can definitely say I’m one of these people.
