Why should you build Custom Android Apps?

Custom Android Apps can be fully or partially personalised to suit one’s business needs. In fact, they have considerable advantages over out-of-the-box solutions, particularly when it comes to achieving digital transformation and business process management. This is why custom mobile app development has gained transaction and proving to be an attractive value proposition for businesses. Building an innovative custom app solution is the key to unlocking a world of business benefits and opportunities:

• Reduced time and money:

First, off-the-shelf apps have a pre-defined set of features for use; some may prove to be helpful and others, may be, not what you had pay for. Whatever the case may be, you are required to pay for the full package. Compare it to a custom app development solution, you only choose to pay for what you need, as and when you need it. Second, in the case of a ready-made application you don’t have to pay for data import, installation, added support, maintenance, etc. If you opt for a custom-build Android app, brace yourself for a long-term rewarding project commitment.

• Meeting customer’s expectation is the ultimate goal:

Once you are aware of what your app is supposed to deliver, custom application is the best bet. No matter the number of specifications and how wide the targeted app audience is, customising your Android app puts together the required features all in one place. On one front, the platform can handle any development requirement easily and on the other front, it allows putting together several multimedia tools, in addition to data management functionality.

•Android is the king!

Android has the lion’s share in the market pie — estimated to be 87.7% in 2017, as per Statista. So it doesn’t spring any surprises that most App business models are Android-based. Also going by the incredible market share, your custom app will appear on a gamut of device used by different levels of economic groups. In addition, Asia has already emerged a sizeable market for Android app users.

•Business security:

Custom apps are business-specific and this means the architecture of the app is a closely guarded secret. Additionally, the custom-made app guarantees a higher level of security, which in the case of ready-made apps you need to see in order to get convinced. Last but not the least an off-the-shelf app is exposed to vulnerabilities that hackers may exploit. And if your app deals with sensitive data, you, now, may know how to go about creating one, don’t you?

•High ROI but lower costs:

Android, being an open-source platform, allows developers to modify and share its Software Development Kit (SDK). Because access to the software is free, investors and companies needn’t worry about loyalty or cost or licenses. The Android developers’ community share the latest OS versions with the developers.

Another advantage is that developers have to pay a one-time app distribution fee so that they can build the product across multiple devices. Therefore, this not only guarantees low investment but simple development cycle as well. Finally, users receive regular app updates and an interactive business app that guarantees higher ROI.
