The Secret to Healthy Applications The competition amongst the Apps is increasing by the day. The developers now need to innovate and make use of the latest technology to compete against the saturation of the App Store. The developers not only need to create apps high on functionality but also need to make these apps healthy.

SMALLER AND EFFICIENT SOURCE CODE It is evident from the history of software and app development that the best codes are written in an efficient form on which the scan/read tool can run and improve the productivity. It is not actually the length of the code that matters, but the efficient use of the modules and the codes therein to provide a complete package which matters more. USE OF FEWER COOKIES/CACHE All applications require storage of temporary files on a device to run properly. However, you can limit the amount of cookie/cache (temporary files) storage and implement a method to clean these temporary files automatically over time. This will help you reduce the amount of app data on the user’s device thereby increasing the efficiency further.


SMALLER SIZE The best apps on the App Store have the smallest footprint. These apps are optimized to occupy less space on the user’s device while providing the necessary functionality. The smaller form factor also allows the users to save valuable data storage space on the installed devices. OPTIMUM USE OF SMARTPHONE HARDWARE The optimized interface will help you make the best use of the device’s hardware thereby allowing you to harvest the maximum power of the processor. The optimum use of smartphone hardware will help you integrate more features into the app and make use of all the sensors on it. A good use of these sensors will thereby allow you to create a healthy app. OPTIMIZED INTERFACE A strong back-end app development lays the foundation to a healthy application. Without an optimized interface, it will be tough for a user to navigate through the various functions of your app. In case you implement a lot of functions at a time, make sure that you install a simple guide in the app which gives the basic instructions on how to use the app. LIMIT TIME OF USAGE Some new apps inculcate a time limit in the interface. Some of the few recent games have adopted the methodology to allow the app to run for a limited period and then close it for a while so that the user does not get bored by using the app for an extended period. This also ensures that you have an improved user retention and genuine user interested in the process. Read More: - The Secret to Healthy Applications
