Some of the must-have features for android app development

Userfriendly and simple interface- Simplicity is the main thing that is preferred by everyone. The app must be simple so that everyone can use the app. So the Android app interface must be simple along with a sophistication touch. If shortcuts are added for important functions then that can attract many people. So the main thing is that the user experience must be good enough to be used by common people.

Simple registration and login page- It is very common that the user must log in with the help of email ids or mobile numbers. However, in the case of the on-demand apps, the users are asked to build a profile. So here also it is important to keep in mind that the page for registration is simple and short. Many users will get bored if they have to fill long-form for registration and that can lead them to abandon your app and use another one which is more short and precise.

Loading speed- Everyone is busy in their daily life and no one would love to waste their time in anything. If the time for loading the application is more then will not prefer to use it. So it is the job of the Android application development company to ensure that the speed for loading the app is not more than 10 seconds. Moreover, the application must be highly responsive in nature and the working of every function must be good whenever they are tapped and from any location.

Social media tools- In the case of the marketing of Android apps, social media can be regarded as the most important tool for effective marketing.

PWA development company can work well in case of implementing these social media tools.

Cloud computing- One of the most important assets that are coming under the android app is the feature for cloud computing. This feature helps in creating other applications like messaging apps. This does both the job that keeps the visibility of application in traffic and also boosts the strength of the app.

Payment Integration- There are many apps that use the gateway for payment instead of letting your users using any other way. This reduces the job of the user and they can pay directly for the product or services provided by your app. This will keep your users happy.

User feedback- Feedback is the main thing that decides whether your app is the best or the worst. This will help you in checking the performance of your app at certain intervals. Depending on the feedback you can also increase the functionality of the app.

Working in offline mode- It is impossible to get the internet connection every time and everywhere. So there must be a chance for using the app even without internet connections. This will help your user to love in navigating the features of your app without using the internet data.

Scalable UI- If the UI is scalable that is can adapt to any size of the device within a given time without losing any of the states then all android users whatever their device maybe can use your app. This will help your app to become popular as your app is used by a wide range of people.

Supporting dark mode- If the app is having white background then many users are there who won't like to open your app in the darkness. The dark mode is there for every app and people will choose other apps over your app if dark mode is not there. This dark mode can give an extraordinary look to your app. People can also get bored by always seeing the white background.

Splash screen- Splash screen is not a new feature. A good intro for 5 seconds with animation can attract many users. The apps take some loading time to open the app and in this time this intro video can delight the users without getting bored because of waiting for the app to open.
