The importance of mental health apps for mental well-being and emotional health

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 09:34:00 -0500

In today’s tech-driven world, the importance of mental health cannot be overstated. Thankfully, modern mental health apps represent a very robust way of moving forward in the field of mental well-being.

There’s no denying that our modern lives are a tapestry of emotions, responsibilities, and subjective opinions and perceptions. The more time passes, the more elements are threaded and woven into that tapestry, and our day-to-day becomes overwhelmingly filled with countless different moments, decisions, and experiences. Even more so, in this ever-evolving tech-centric world, where the pace of work and socializing, staying healthy, and well, life itself seems to quicken with each passing day. As a result, some might get crushed by the weight of speed and see their mental health take a hit and decline as juggling all those things becomes increasingly hard. Who hasn’t felt that way? We all have, but how we deal and cope with these struggles marks the difference, hence the importance of mental health. However, for something so profoundly crucial and significant for our general well-being, mental health remains shrouded in secrecy, judgment, and confusion and is often crudely misunderstood and stigmatized.

Today, technology is as necessary as the air we breathe, and it has shaped our lives to the point where we can’t even fathom spending one single day without those little lifelines we call smartphones. Similarly, technology has also shaped how we see and interact with our devices. Similarly, technology has also shaped how we see and interact with our devices. We have witnessed so many groundbreaking advancements that we have become reliant on app developers to keep surprising us. Why?

Quantum app development is an emerging trend that leverages quantum computing to build more powerful; applications that can propel application technology forward.

Quantum computing; sounds like something out of a Sci-Fi movie. When most of us mortals hear this term, we imagine futuristic facilities with huge, humming white rooms teeming with mysterious white-coated scientists who check big computer screens and type away cryptically on their tablets. And we wouldn’t be entirely off the mark. In fact, until not too long ago, quantum computing was still a very new, unexplored, and complex field of technology that only experts could figure out how to use and was only applicable to a limited number of industries. Now, however, quantum computing has evolved to become a very accessible and effective tool that can power countless business and operational processes to help many industries to become more efficient and highly innovative.

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:56:00 -0500

Biometric authentication is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways of ensuring the security and uniqueness of modern devices, mobile applications, and other electronic systems.

$8 trillion. What a great figure, huh? Imagine if that unfathomable amount of money falls right in your lap. Sounds like a dream for most of us. Sadly, in this case, however, $8 trillion doesn’t have a positive connotation. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, that’s how much cybercrime will cost companies worldwide by the end of this year. And as if that wasn’t concerning enough, the cost of damages that result from hacking incidents will likely surpass $10.5 trillion by 2025! Obviously, companies aren’t matching those figures on investments in cybersecurity measures because, well, most of them can’t afford it, and the ones that do usually allocate those resources toward other “more pressing” issues. In fact, Deloitte discovered that around 50% of C-suite executives are aware and even expect financial data hacking events to increase in the next year. Nonetheless, and concerningly enough, only 20.3% of them say their companies work with their peers on taking effective cybersecurity measures. And at the user level, the landscape is just as disturbing. Microsoft found that 1.2 million user accounts were compromised because 99.9% of them did not use any type of robust authentication measure. Enter mobile app biometrics.

A couple of decades ago, going to the doctor or tracking your health was tantamount to physically going to medical appointments, getting prodded and examined, and then waiting weeks for test results. In most cases, healthcare services were very impersonal, sometimes unpleasant, and overall, they were something most of us tried to avoid whenever possible. Thankfully, with modern mobile technological advancements, we now have a plethora of mobile healthcare apps and medical software solutions that grant us access to high-quality remote medical services…and without stepping one foot in a hospital!

They provide a convenient, fast, and–ideally–secure way of carrying out monetary exchanges for goods and services within the digital realm. So, it’s no wonder that in today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, online payments have become pivotal for most of our daily online activities. Moreover, they have evolved from simple bill payment enablers to gateways that allow us to shop on e-commerce platforms, transfer funds to the other side of the world with little to no extra fees, and even pay for a cup of coffee instantly with just the swipe of a finger. So, yes, the modern digital payments realm offers a plethora of options for conducting financial transactions. However, as our world becomes increasingly digitized and consumer behaviors evolve, we can’t help but wonder how the online payments landscape will unfold and what key factors, if any, will influence its future.

Tips For How To Successfully Beta Test Your Mobile App

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 15:49:00 -0500

Testing your mobile app is a crucial part of the deployment process. Therefore, it’s essential to conduct proper beta testing to ensure that your mobile app functions optimally and can meet the expectations and needs of its users.

Fact: testing is a crucial part of the app and software development process. If you’ve read any of our other blog articles regarding app development, you already know how fundamental testing is for us. You simply cannot ship robust and innovative applications without having solid testing strategies in place. You wouldn’t serve a huge Thanksgiving dinner to your family and friends without tasting it first, would you? The same principle applies to the app and software development. You don’t want to release your product without ensuring it works flawlessly, has no annoying bugs, and is ready to please its potential users. Refusing to do so can be catastrophic and can result in an application that has countless errors, drags, takes forever to load, or simply fails to cater to your users’ needs and expectations. Thankfully, we have the option to conduct a beta test, use it to build a solid testing strategy, and, thus, ensure your app is as close to perfection as possible before release.

Foonkie Monkey’s Tips For Designing A Successful Mobile App Icon

Wed, 31 May 2023 09:34:00 -0500

Getting more downloads for your app in the App Store doesn’t happen by chance. Your app icon is an essential but often overlooked element that can mark the difference between instant downloads and oblivion.

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Sound familiar? We’ve all heard the popular adage, and all through life, we have been vehemently warned against forming an opinion about something or someone based solely on their appearance. And while that is, in fact, sound advice, we don’t religiously adhere to it every single time. We’ve all turned away strange food based on how unappetizing it looked like on the plate or refused to, quite literally, buy a book with a dull, unappealing cover. We’ve probably missed countless opportunities to taste yummy food or have exciting reading experiences because our eyes didn’t like what they saw. But that’s how humans are wired, and that’s why first impressions are so important, especially in the app development world where users lack the patience or the time to give second chances. In that sense, if your app doesn’t capture their attention fast, it’s bound to fail. Hence, the importance of designing a successful mobile app icon.

Best Ways To Optimize App Performance And Speed

Thu, 11 May 2023 09:34:00 -0500

In today’s fast-paced world, users demand fast in-app experiences. Therefore, optimizing app performance and speed is critical to ensure that your application provides a stellar user experience and remains competitive in the modern market.

“Oh, I love it when apps drag and take forever to load,” said no one ever. Maybe once, many years ago, we were content with slow apps that took forever to load; and who could blame us? We didn’t know any better. There was no notion of speed and performance optimization. But those days are long gone…thankfully! In today’s fast-paced, tech-ridden world, where smartphones are ubiquitous, and applications are an integral part of our everyday life, for a mobile or software product to be anything short of seamless and perfectly optimized is inexcusable. Not only that but with the increasing levels of competitiveness in the app development industry, any product that doesn’t meet specific standards of excellence is doomed to fail. Slow and unresponsive apps can frustrate users and lead to a steep decline in user engagement and retention. Therefore, it’s crucial for modern app developers to ensure they always ship smooth and quick products, optimize app performance and speed, and follow the best practices that will allow them to accomplish that so they can provide a positive user experience every single time.

What Are Tech Communities, And Why Should You Join One?

Thu, 04 May 2023 09:34:00 -0500

Tech communities can be an excellent way for people to connect with like-minded individuals, share their knowledge and resources, collaborate, and learn. But should you join one?

“No man is an island”; sound familiar? We’ve all heard that expression, or some variation of it, and have likely felt identified by it. Even if you’re the most devoted loner to walk this earth, you’ve probably needed to rely on someone else for something at some point in your life, no matter how small that something was. Humans are social creatures, and since the beginning of time, we’ve been programmed to live in a community. We are all connected in some way and have developed the need for interpersonal connections, especially now that the field of technology has evolved enough to push IT professionals and developers to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another. This need for socializing amongst piers has been the fertile ground for tech communities to flourish and emerge as a crucial part of the tech industry.

So, now we can see new FinTech companies and startups budding up left and right, seeking to meet that rising demand and establish themselves as dominant, transformative forces in the modern FinTech world. This transformation is placing FinTech app development at the forefront of the digital financial revolution, which will surely bring us some exciting trends to emerge in 2023.

What Is The Role Of Cloud Computing In Mobile App Development?

Thu, 13 Apr 2023 09:49:00 -0500

Mobile cloud computing is a robust alternative for mobile app developers to leverage the undeniable power of remote servers and use it to streamline development processes and improve product scalability.

Ahhh, the cloud. For most of us mortals, the term is confusing and vague. Is it a mysterious place with unlimited storage that floats above us in the sky? Is it a giant server that rests in some futuristic building somewhere? Yet, the elusive entity that confuses some and fascinates many others has become a very real place that seems to be beckoning us to entrust our data to its care, something that millions have already been doing for a while and with good reason. While it may not be an actual fluffy storage facility, the cloud has undoubtedly become pivotal not only for storing our personal photos or streaming our favorite shows but also for shaping our digital landscape via a virtual infrastructure that seems to be perfect for modern mobile app development. But how, exactly? With the advent of cloud computing.

How To Build A Scalable And Maintainable Backend For Your Project

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 09:49:00 -0500

For a project to be successful and durable, it must be able to seamlessly grow and evolve to remain competitive and meet users’ expectations, even as they change.

Do you still play Snake on your Nokia 6110? Or do you miss messaging your friends on ICQ? While these old-time applications bring a wave of nostalgia, chances are they wouldn’t function well or meet your needs today. That’s because, thanks, in part, to the advent of modern technologies, faster smartphones, and more capable mobile networks, among others, the needs and expectations of customers are evolving at neck-breaking speeds. What worked five years ago has become obsolete and useless now. We are also becoming more demanding in what IT-based can do for us, and if an application isn’t somewhat tailored and user-specific, not to mention fast and innovative, it quickly goes to the trash. As a result, market trends are changing at an unprecedented rate, making it necessary for app developers and businesses to keep up with these changing needs and adapt their products accordingly to avoid oblivion. But how can we accomplish that without building our products from scratch? By creating a scalable and sustainable app architecture.

Top AI-Based Conversational Chatbots For Integrating With Your Mobile App

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 09:49:00 -0500

A new generation of AI language models with advanced conversational capabilities is creating quite a buzz lately. But precisely what are these AI models? Can you integrate them with your mobile app? Which are the most popular ones? Let’s see

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed how extraordinarily popular AI-powered technologies have become. From simple automated chatbots on e-commerce sites to sophisticated language models that can solve complex mathematical equations or design an entire house in seconds, AI is the belle of the ball of modern technologies. In fact, AI has become so prevalent that now, most businesses are increasingly turning to it to enhance the functionality and user experience of their IT-based products. So, it is no surprise that our beloved mobile apps, which continue to dominate the digital landscape, are turning their heads toward AI-powered technologies, specifically AI-based conversational chatbots.

4 Mobile App UX/UI Design Clichés To Avoid

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 10:00:00 -0500

Good UX/UI design is crucial for app development. However, there are many design clichés that have become commonplace and can actually harm your user experience and hinder your app’s adoption.

Remember the 90s? If you do, remember how cool and in vogue the big, teased hair, excess makeup, and baggy, bedazzled pants were? They were emblems of what fashion was supposed to be, and everyone wanted in on what was socially accepted as cool. Fast forward to 2023, and bedazzled baggy pants, although still trendy for some (no judgment here), seem laughable for most. But that’s how it goes. What worked some years ago becomes cliché once life evolves and we demand new things. The same happens in the world of app development and mobile app UX/UI design. What was innovative, groundbreaking, or disruptive some years back is now gauche and, well…just plain wrong. But unlike bringing 90s fashion to 2023, where using big hair won’t–generally–hurt anyone, designing a mobile application with a less-than-outstanding user experience and user interface and forsaking innovation to keep using outdated patterns can significantly damage your mobile app’s success.

What Do Post-Pandemic Healthcare Apps Look Like?

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 11:00:00 -0500

The COVID pandemic accelerated the adoption of mobile healthcare apps. But what will happen to those apps now, in the post-pandemic era? Will they continue to play an essential role in healthcare delivery? How will they change and adapt to the new “now”? Let’s find out.

Can you imagine if the COVID pandemic had happened 30 years ago, in a time with no mobile phones, computers, or even the internet? After experiencing those couple of years and the challenges they came with, it’s almost impossible to imagine how much more difficult pandemic life would have been to manage without internet access and mobility. The internet played a pivotal role in enabling instant worldwide communication, disseminating information, and facilitating a myriad of remote services as people adapted to new ways of working, learning, and socializing, among other things. But more importantly, it’s unfathomable how much more complicated and utterly catastrophic things would have been without access to mobile medical services. It’s a fact: remote medical services, such as those provided by healthcare apps, were a godsend during the COVID pandemic. While these types of applications had been around for a while, it wasn’t until the pandemic that the importance of mobile healthcare and healthcare apps became apparent as a means of providing life-saving, cost-effective healthcare services remotely.

AI In UX Design: How Can AI Impact Your App’s User Experience?

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 07:04:00 -0500

Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly changing the way we experience and interact with technology. From watching TV to accessing remote financial and medical services, AI seems to be everywhere, and UX design is no exception.

There’s no denying that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now everywhere. And we do mean EVERYWHERE! Long gone are the days when you had to call customer service and spend hours on the phone waiting for someone to answer. Or when going to the bank meant spending countless hours in line. In fact, it seems possible to clearly discern how life was before and after AI. Before the creation and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence, our world was primarily driven by human labor and manual processes, which was fine; we didn’t know better, out of sight, out of mind, right? Some might not even remember how most tasks, such as refunds and risk assessment, which are now fully automated, were performed by humans at a slower pace and with a higher margin of error. In other words, the world before AI was languid. Technology was extremely limited, there was a smaller amount of data available for analysis, and we had to rely solely on human effort and intuition to drive change. But now? Now, AI has revolutionized how we interact with technology, and its impact on how we build and use mobile applications is undeniable. As a result, modern app developers are now almost obliged to use AI in UX design and leverage the technology’s capabilities to build the mobile and software products of the present and the future.

Top App Development Trends For 2023

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 09:49:00 -0500

2023 is here. Innovation is on the horizon, and competition in the app development arena is fierce. So what will change this year? What will app developers need to implement or maintain to remain competitive?

Another year passes, and the app development industry faces new challenges and more interesting competition levels as the demand for more, better, and faster mobile apps reach an all-new high. Similarly, the number of smartphone users worldwide has grown to reach a whopping 6.8 billion. Moreover, smartphones are the most popular of all the devices we use today, with 95.8% of all internet users leveraging them to go online. These numbers are a testament to the undeniable love we have for our mobile devices, and they also mean that mobile app usage, which is also on the rise, will likely skyrocket by the end of the year with no sign of slowing down. As a result, app developers have a binding obligation to keep up with the demand and ensure that mobile app usage statistics are always on the rise. But how can we make sure to keep our products relevant and innovative while matching this year’s market’s demands? One of the most influential and intelligent ways is understanding and adopting some or most of the top app development trends for 2023.

How To Foster Innovation And Implement New Technologies In App Development Teams

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 15:49:00 -0500

While it comes with its challenges, innovation is crucial for any business. But, without fostering innovation and implementing new technologies, technological growth it’s nearly impossible. Development companies need innovation to ship robust products and increase employee engagement.

Humans are creatures of habit. Most of us enjoy the predictability and familiarity that comes with routines, with knowing–more or less–what a new day will bring. Of course, we can’t generalize, everyone is different, but typically, that is how the day-to-day goes for most of us. And in our workplaces, things are no different, especially in the app development industry and particularly when it comes to technology. Whether it’s a design program like Figma, a cross-platform development framework like MAUI, or a technology like Artificial Intelligence, we love to use what we comfortably know and understand. In other words: we don’t like change. While some people have the ability to adapt easily and recognize the immediate value of implementing new technologies, many more don’t. Perhaps it’s because we don’t like to break our routines, or because we feel like adapting to a new way of working may be too challenging, not worth the trouble, or maybe even because we don’t like what we don’t understand. Either way, innovation almost always comes with certain intricacies. Hence, it’s extremely important for CTOs, managers, and other team leaders to avoid overwhelming and confusing their staff members by carefully planning when and how they choose to implement new technologies.

Top UX/UI Design Trends For 2023

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:49:00 -0500

App development is an ever-changing field. It evolves with the increase in the demand for better IT-based products, and to survive, app developers and UX/UI designers must deliver and stay on top of the latest trends year after year.

Most of us still remember the old days when the latest technological advancement was dial-up internet, and mobile phones were a distant luxury only a handful of people could afford. Who would’ve thought only a couple of decades later, the internet would be inherently linked to everything? Would you have pictured that mobile phones would not only be so technologically evolved to fit in your pockets but that they would also become a prerequisite for successful living? Not likely. But that’s how technology works. It evolves at neck-breaking speeds and delivers IT-based products that always top themselves and transform how we operate as humans and how business models work, both of which now rely heavily on mobile apps and websites. Consequently, we have developed a taste for fast, innovative, and beautiful It-based products that do what they do fast and efficiently, putting more pressure on the app development industry and increasing the demand for stellar applications. And now, nearly 30 years after the first smartphone became commercially available, the only way to keep up with such a demand is for modern app developers to stay on top of the latest trends and advancements, especially when it comes to design. So, with that in mind, today, we’ll be discussing the top UX/UI design trends for 2023.

E-Prescription Apps: Everything You Need To Know

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 09:49:00 -0500

Pharma companies and healthcare institutions had to modernize their operations to keep up with COVID’s unfortunate legacy. Thus, improving service quality and accessibility via digital solutions is now mandatory.

Can you envision not having access to mobile healthcare options such as telemedicine or other medical virtual assistance platforms during the COVID pandemic? Imagine the chaos! Yes, mobile healthcare hasn’t reached full global coverage yet; far from it. Still, overall, the pandemic was the kindle that sparked healthcare organizations’ interest in expanding, or starting, their mobile medical services. As a result of these newfound efforts to modernize healthcare operations, some pharma companies and medical institutions have developed their own mobile healthcare solutions that offer myriad services. From telemedicine and virtual consultations to symptom checkers and educational applications, the healthcare industry has undeniably gone mobile in a quest to attract and engage with more users, improve the quality and accessibility of medical services, and secure their digital market presence. However, most solutions out there are still in their infancy, and there’s still a lack of interoperability and coverage that, hopefully, developing more solutions will fix. In the meantime, and driven mainly by the pandemic’s restrictions, we’re starting to witness the birth and proliferation of up-and-coming solutions, one of which is e-prescription apps.

The Dynamic Universe Of User Experience In FinTech Apps

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 09:49:00 -0500

From the rise of online banking to the onset of the pandemic, financial technology has become our go-to solution to access mobile banking services. As a result, users have become more demanding in how seamlessly and efficiently these FinTech solutions meet their needs.

It’s no secret: 2020 changed everything. From how we access healthcare services and education programs to how we celebrate holidays, see our friends, and handle our banking transactions, the pandemic significantly disrupted our lifestyles as individuals and as consumers. Our relationship with traditional commerce and service providers will never be the same. Sure, this past decade was already the bringer of a new IT-powered era. Still, in the span of months, COVID brought a complete upheaval of our lives and upended millions of companies to become digital in a matter of days, with financial institutions proving no exception. The vast majority of big banks had to not only limit their in-person services but implement online protocols to keep their operations running. As a result, online banking and FinTech apps became the only way to keep meeting the world’s financial needs while in isolation. However, some of these solutions weren’t and still aren’t, as smooth and efficient as they could be. They don’t do much to improve their users’ lives, jeopardizing their adoption. Hence, the importance of understanding user experience (UX) in FinTech apps.

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 09:49:00 -0500

We’re beyond proud and incredibly excited to have made it into Clutch’s top 1000 global companies for 2022! We couldn’t be more thrilled to have this year’s hard work recognized!

We are currently at the gates of 2023, and at the rate modern technology keeps advancing, we’re confident this new year will bring forth unparalleled innovation on the app development front. Still, and whatever happens next year, at this point in time, we can’t deny it: businesses of all sizes and everyday people like you and me absolutely need those little bits of technology known as apps to help us perform our daily tasks. Mobile apps have become lifelines; they have completely changed how we interact with technology to the point where users have become much more demanding of what they can do. As a result, we app developers have our work cut out for us as the app development ecosystem is becoming an increasingly competitive industry. Don’t get us wrong; this phenomenon is a very good thing! Mobile and software apps are our daily bread, and the more the market evolves, the bigger our chances to shine. And shining we are!

A Guide To Choosing The Best Mobile Payment Gateway For Your Mobile App

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 09:49:00 -0500

Mobile payments are an inalienable part of any modern mobile application that handles monetary transitions. As such, it is crucial for app developers to understand the types of payment gateways out there and know which one works best for their product.

Imagine you need to get a new winter coat. As many of us lately, you dread physically going to the mall. You simply don’t want to deal with the chaos of traffic and crowded stores that often come with the holiday season. Decades ago, there was no way around it: going to the mall was the only way you could get your shopping done. Luckily now we can have day-long shopping experiences without ever placing a foot outside the door. Ahhh, the beauty of modernity. So, as any respectable mobile phone owner, you open your favorite e-commerce app, start browsing, and jackpot! You found a gorgeous winter coat. You choose your size, add it to your shopping cart, get some other cool stuff that was on sale and get ready to pay. However, to your surprise, the app doesn’t give you the option to pay for your stuff right then and there. Instead, it’s asking you to go to your nearest store or bank branch and deposit the amount so they can get your order on the way. Great, you didn’t want to go outside, and now you have to. Of course, you could deposit the money from your bank app, but that’s beside the point. The point is the e-commerce app doesn’t have a mobile payment gateway. So, would you use that app again? Not a chance. See the importance of implementing the right mobile payment gateway?

Foonkie Monkey’s Guide To Successful Form UX Design

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 09:49:00 -0500

Forms are one of the most used and relevant ways most applications and websites interact with their users and gather information from them. However, some developers and app owners make the mistake of making them too extensive and stodgy, affecting the user experience and damaging user engagement.

We’ve all been there time and time again–having to fill out endless forms when registering for a website, setting up an account, making a purchase, answering a survey, or even filing a complaint. Most of these forms seem to be never-ending; filling out names, date of birth, address, phone number, social security number, age, sex, ethnicity, email, repeat email…you catch my drift. And not only are they extensive, but they also seem to be a pervasive part of using the internet. Or can you think of an instance when you’ve used an online service that did not include filling out a form of some kind? I’m talking about no registration, purchase, billing, or feedback form. Seems unlikely. Why? Because forms are a necessary evil. Online companies need to implement forms on their websites because it’s the only way users can sign up for an account, make a purchase, register for a service, answer a survey, and more. Even for a process as mundane as creating a simple username and password, you must fill out a form. So, even if they’re not the sexiest way of gathering user data, there’s no way around it: forms are fundamental, especially for customer engagement and conversion. But how can you make something so tedious become engaging? How can you entice your users to take the time to actually enjoy filling out those otherwise annoying blanks and happily provide you with all the information you need? Good form UX design.

MVP development: Why you need it and how to do it correctly

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 12:48:00 -0500

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a failsafe way of testing the market’s waters and validating your product before allocating valuable resources to it. Hence, it is a vital stage for any startup, and you shouldn’t take its development lightly.

Have you ever dreamed of having a million-dollar app idea and then developing it? That’s the dream! In this day and age, when mobile and software applications are becoming necessary lifelines for our day-to-day activities, it seems imperative for businesses, especially startups, to get that million-dollar idea and turn it into a very successful application. After all, if everyone is doing it, it must be super simple, right? Not quite. See, app development is no small undertaking. Applications take extensive time and resources to build. Even if it’s a small, simple product, it requires quite a lot of planning, brainstorming, researching, designing, and prototyping, to name a few, all of which take a lot of human resources and time, and will probably not come for cheap. And even if you choose to invest the big bucks, nothing guarantees your app will be successful and that your target audience will love it. So what, then? Are all your resources doomed to go to waste no matter what? Luckily, that’s not the case, thanks to the Minimum Viable Product or MVP.

10 reasons why Figma is the best UX/UI design tool for app development

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 16:52:00 -0500

Figma is one of the most used design tools in the app development world. It can significantly improve the app design process and can even outperform other popular design tools in UX/UI design. But how? Why? We’ll let you know in a bit.

Most of us remember how different the world was before smartphones and tablets. We had to carry calculators to school, read encyclopedias to do homework, and go to the library to study for tests. We had to manually write stuff on our calendars and use our parents’ landlines to make phone calls. The reality was that there were no apps for anything! Now, we can’t conceive the world without our precious smartphones and the little pieces of functionality within them. We went from playing Snake on our Nokia 3310s and sending messages using BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) via our BlackBerries to making full-length HD movies using our iPhones. And thanks to what? Or better yet, thanks to whom? App developers. Yes, technically, Snake was an app, but it wasn’t until Apple released the first iPhone and revolutionized the app market with the birth of the App Store back in 2008 that the development industry really took off. And what became the main differentiator between Apple and the rest? Design. Apple made apps look way better than its competitors, and the design element became really predominant after a while. Today, UX/UI design is an integral part of the app development process. Tools like Figma not only make our jobs easier but help us consistently deliver the best possible products to our users.

What does web 3.0 mean for app development?

Fri, 04 Nov 2022 17:05:00 -0500

Web 3.0 can potentially disrupt the technological landscape as we know it and usher in new concepts and ideas of decentralization which can unavoidably impact app development practices.

Do you remember when surfing the web was a simple process consisting of browsing a few basic directories of static, limited information? And what about a dial-up internet connection? Remember how annoying that was? Most of us, even if vaguely, remember experiencing the beginnings of the internet. While we can remember those calendar days fondly, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to go back to struggling to reconnect after your sister lifted the home phone’s receiver. However, the rest of us millennials grew up in the age of the internet as we know it today, a user-led cyber world also referred to as web 2.0. After the original internet–let’s call it web 1.0–evolved, it became more interactive, accessible, and dynamic. You could browse millions of cutting-edge sites, watch videos, download files, and create content, thus becoming an active participant in the cyber world instead of being a simple bystander. That being said, we’ve had a good run with web 2.0. It gave us the modern cyber world and all that comes with it, so much so that it seems it can’t get any better. However, now the time has come to take the online universe to the next level, and that’s what the next iteration of the World Wide Web, web 3.0, promises to deliver.

App Development Contract: Key Considerations And Best Practices

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:29:00 -0500

App development contracts are critical for properly planning and building mobile applications or software products. As a result, it’s crucial for all parties involved to understand how they work to suit everyone properly and help establish wholesome, long-lasting business relationships.

Actually, they are becoming commonplace in our day-to-day conversations and are taking more and more space in our lists of priorities. What’s more, almost 50% of smartphone owners today open an app more than eleven times a day, with millennials leading the way by opening their applications nearly fifty times daily! To say that we can’t live without those little pieces of technology that live in our phones and computers is an understatement. And just like the average person needs their apps like they need air, modern businesses tether even their most basic operations to mobile and software applications. But these IT-based products, however ordinary and widespread, don’t grow on trees. We need app developers to bring our beloved mini IT-based lifelines to fruition. Even if you have an awesome app idea, unless you’re already well-versed in app development, you’ll need to hire a developer and jot out a very necessary but sometimes dreaded app development contract.

All You Need To Know About DeFi

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 09:43:00 -0500

The advent of online banking has transformed financial services and has shifted them towards becoming more efficient and decentralized. As a result, concepts such as DeFi have emerged to take us into the economic landscape of the future.

Think about how 20 years ago, you or your parents used to have to go to the closest bank’s branch for everything. There was no questioning the fact that physically going to the bank was the only way to meet your transactional needs. From depositing a check to making a cash withdrawal, physical bank branches were the center of the financial ecosystem of those times. Now, think about when was the last time you absolutely had to go to the bank to perform banking-related activities. When was the last time you had to wait in line at the bank to pay for something or make a deposit, for instance? Of course, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? But, of course, you have modern financial technology and FinTech apps to thank for that. They are the reason we now have broad access to all the online banking services that have simplified how we carry out financial transactions. However, since these technologies evolved like greased lightning, we now have access to numerous tools and platforms which allow you to do much more than use your smartphone to pay for that cup of coffee. One of these platforms is known as decentralized finance, or DeFi for short, and its popularity has grown to the point where DeFi apps are becoming a fad within the FinTech landscape.

Foonkie Monkey’s guide to decentralized applications (dApps)

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 14:39:00 -0500

Decentralized applications, dApps for short, are a new approach to building more secure, transparent, and highly available applications that leverage blockchain technology to cut unnecessary intermediaries.

Saying that mobile apps have become prevalent in our day-to-day activities would be an understatement. We now have an application for everything and opening them several times a day has become an almost reflex-like activity. In fact, most of us have over 80 apps installed on our phones, on which we collectively spent over 3.8 trillion hours last year! What most people aren’t aware of, though, is that the lion’s share of modern apps run on centralized networks, meaning a dominant authority controls them. It sounds scary, and it can be in some cases. Still, it is pretty standard, and it essentially means that there are servers, or entities, that control the access and data traffic of a particular application. For instance, social media or banking apps store our data on their servers and control the access, data, and activity that flows throughout those servers. This dynamic is how apps have always worked, and while centralization is somewhat efficient, it also increases the chances of hacks, crashes, and tech companies profiting from your data. Enter dApps.

Mobile app vs. mobile website: which one to choose

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 13:56:00 -0500

Establishing a mobile presence is essential for the success of any business. However, to do so, one of the first decisions to make is whether you want to build a mobile app, a mobile website, or perhaps both.

Imagine owning a business today and not having some type of IT-based product that helps you stomp the online ground. Or try to think if any modern enterprise has a relevant market presence but doesn’t have a website, app, or both. Find any? You probably didn’t, and that’s because, today, having an online presence is almost as necessary as having a valid business operating license. In fact, did you know that about 80% of people go online to search for a company before visiting it or making a purchase? Or that around 71% of small businesses worldwide already have a website? Or even more incredible, did you know there are currently almost 2 billion active websites in the world? These mouth-opening figures highlight the importance of having an online presence for any modern business, whether big or small. So the question is, how do you establish your business’s online presence? Where do you start? Do you build a mobile app? A mobile website? Both?

How to choose a good development bootcamp and avoid the scams

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 13:55:00 -0500

The demand for developers is at its all-time high, meaning that fast-track training programs (aka development bootcamps) are also in vogue. However, choosing a good one is crucial to optimize your learning experiences and avoid headaches.

As IT-based products become commonplace in our day-to-day activities, there has been an uptick in requests for better and faster products and more efficient development services. As a result, the app and software development market has grown to the point where the profession is becoming one of the most sought out worldwide. This growth is obviously a good thing, but it also means that to meet that increase in demand, the industry needs schools with reliable education programs that give the world a constant supply of professional developers. Luckily, this has already started happening, and the global number of app and software developers keeps growing. In fact, there are around 27 million developers worldwide, 4.3 million developers in the US alone, and over 6 million in Europe! Also, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a demand growth of 22% for app and software developers by 2029. These figures reflect the boom our industry is currently undergoing and represent an opportunity for schools to keep investing in their development training programs. Still, since the demand for development professionals is still high, there are non-college, not accredited programs, known as development bootcamps, that are popping up everywhere and seem to be aimed at bridging the supply-demand gap of professionals in our industry. Unfortunately, not all bootcamps represent good highways to becoming a developer, and many scam artists and unethical parties have taken advantage of the growing demand to build deceitful, fraudulent bootcamps.

Foonkie Monkey is recognized as a top B2B service provider!

Wed, 07 Sep 2022 08:58:00 -0500

We’re thrilled to announce yet another award! This time, The Manifest has recognized Foonkey Monkey as an awardee in their 2022 Colombia Manifest awards!

It’s no secret that our world is currently flooded with IT-based products that keep popping up left and right as modern technologies get more innovative and widespread. Don’t get us wrong; this phenomenon is a good thing! Mobile and software apps are our daily bread, and the more they evolve and get adopted, the bigger our chances to shine. Still, we are also very aware of the fact that with this growth in mobile app users–which has reached 5.22 billion – also comes an increase in the demand for better, faster, and more efficient IT-based products. And here’s where the top developers get their chance to stand out.

Foonkie Monkey’s guide to NFT marketplace development

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 09:40:00 -0500

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are one of the hottest trends in the modern digital economy environment. They have become so popular that NFT marketplaces are popping up left and right. It’s time to learn how to join the trend and build your own NFT marketplace.

For several years now, maybe even decades, we’ve been witnessing the tech world produce exciting, innovative products that evolve at astounding speeds. One day we got a portable phone; the next, we got a portable computer, now, we have VR headsets at home, and we can travel to Japan without ever leaving our couch. However, after so many tech advancements, the truth is we’ve become accustomed to witnessing new gadgets and technologies emerge, boom, and become obsolete in a matter of months. Very few things surprise us now that we’ve been “technologically desensitized,” and the word “innovative’ seems to have lost all its meaning. What’s more, activities like buying and owning stuff, which once were exciting, are now dull and mundane as most items on the market are now mass-produced and generic. But what if we tell you that now there’s a way you can buy and own genuinely unique items that actually have value and that belong only to you? Enter the NFT marketplace.

Fixed rate vs. hourly rate: What works best for app development projects?

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:10:00 -0500

Hiring a development partner is the most effective way of building a robust digital product for most businesses. However, choosing a suitable pricing model is one of the most crucial decisions development companies must make.

Since modern technologies took over the world, big and small businesses have been seduced by the undeniable benefits of digital products. I mean, what’s not to love? You get a beautiful application with your company’s name in bright letters and dazzling colors. Your customers, in turn, get instant access to your portfolio and start spending the big bucks from the comfort of their couches in the blink of an eye. Ahhh, yes, that’s the beauty of going mobile: access to everything with the swipe of a finger. However, as we developers know all too well, there’s a myriad of “behind-the-scenes” action that remains hidden from the outside world. Programming languages, tech stacks, sprints, code reviews, QA testing, and maintenance protocols often go unnoticed by users but are tasks we need to perform to keep their apps running smoothly. Overlooked as well, is the fact that any development partner needs all those elements to fall under the umbrella of a suitable pricing model, and choosing that pricing model isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes, flexible plans lead to overcharging. Other times, fixed rates can end in undercharging. And most times, business owners, especially startups and small enterprises, don’t know which scheme to choose. So, what’s the best pricing model? How do you choose? Well, there’s no one correct answer, and here’s where the predicament between a fixed rate and a hourly rate becomes relevant.

What is LiFi technology?

Thu, 11 Aug 2022 10:47:00 -0500

Mobile networks are evolving rapidly, and our mobile and smart devices demand more capacity and higher speeds. As a result, LiFi, a robust, innovative communication technology, emerged as an alternative to how we access and use mobile networks.

Long gone are the days when we depended on dial-up connections and cable internet to access our favorite content and interact with online services. It seemed “Kubrickesque” at the time to think of any other way of using the internet that didn’t have us tethered to a cable. Still, shortly after, mobile technologies surfaced and changed the online world forever. There was no going back; mobile was here to stay. Now, Internet use is exploding, with 5 billion global worldwide web surfers as of April 2022; that’s 63% of the world’s total population! What’s more, 54% of that traffic comes from mobile devices, and over 92% of global users access internet services via Wi-Fi using a mobile phone. Needless to say, the volume of the international mobile data communication traffic is growing exponentially, and the number of connected devices keeps increasing, making us wonder if the current mobile network setup is fit to keep up with such growth. Enter LiFi.

What are the benefits of custom software development?

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 09:34:00 -0500

Custom software development is becoming a necessary investment that can power businesses’ initiatives to provide personalized services and gain a substantial competitive edge while increasing efficiency and productivity.

Picture buying a suit. If you go to a retailer, you can purchase a good suit off the rack that looks relatively good on you and fits you ok for a reasonable price. Now think of a tailor-made suit. It’s expensive, sure, but it’s a one-of-a-kind piece made just for you using your specific measurements, body type, and preferences. Which one sounds better? Even if the tailor-made suit is way more expensive, it’s the superior choice because it’s designed specifically for you. For mobile, software, and other IT products, it’s no different. In almost every industry, users are more drawn to and more likely to purchase and enjoy a service or good when there’s an element of personalization in it that speaks directly to them. The same happens at the industry level. Businesses of all types can benefit far more from tailor-made technologies and systems than from mass-produced, generic ones, which is why custom software development is quickly becoming the newest wrinkle in the fabric of every industry and market worldwide.

Twilio: modernizing customer service

Tue, 02 Aug 2022 15:55:00 -0500

Twilio is a leading customer engagement platform meant to help companies and developers expand and modernize their customer service offerings. Innovative applications are increasingly leaning on Twilio to power communication channels with their customers.

When your company is on a limited budget, you probably prefer allocating your limited funds to high-priority areas such as operations, finances, advertising, or human resources. Of course, these areas, and many more, warrant a little extra padding and attention; they are the backbone of your business. However, it might seem like a waste to devote some capital to your customer service section, right? After all, how important is customer service really? Your customer service reps simply answer some emails and calls, throw in a few “sorries” from time to time, and that’s that. Can it really improve? In short, yes, thanks to platforms like Twilio.

What the metaverse means for app development

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 11:17:00 -0500

Everyone is talking about the metaverse. It is the new buzzword among IT savants and is one of the leading trending technologies of these past years. But how are app developers adapting to this newfound technology that is bound to take the internet world by storm?

Since the onset of modern technology, we’ve occasionally heard buzzwords that define specific technological eras where different gadgets or technologies become widespread and change the landscape of what we call high-tech for years to come. First, it was “computer,” then “Internet,” then “smartphone,” and “mobile app,” and now, perhaps the biggest buzzword in the modern social media and gaming environments and in the business, IT, and finance sectors is “the metaverse.” The term has started garnering considerable attention from numerous sectors worldwide, with people ranging anywhere from millionaires and business leaders to your teacher and next-door neighbor delving into metaverse technologies. Its massive adoption, although currently still blossoming, seems inevitable. Everyday consumers are turning their heads toward the metaverse concept. They are undoubtedly waiting to devour mobile and software applications based on it, which lays the groundwork for app developers to start wringing substantial dividends from metaverse apps.

Agile App Development: Key Differences Between Scrum Master and Product Owner

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:18:00 -0500

Successful modern app development teams must understand the role each of their members plays in Agile development processes. Collaboration between stakeholders and team members is crucial and how they contribute to a product’s success depends on how well their differences complement each other.

With the rising popularity of mobile products, app development is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after professions in the world. This increase in demand means that app developers now have the work cut out for them, and the competition now is nothing but fierce. However, app development is a very complex process. It involves specific skills, expertise, and abilities, not to mention the long hours and countless sleepless nights it takes to deliver a successful product. So, it’s not to be taken lightly. It is a team sport where if you want to win the game, you must have a group of professionals capable of working together to bring forth efficiency, collaboration, and communication. The best way to do so is to work under a trusted and efficient approach to app development. So, most innovative and relevant development companies have turned to the Agile methodology approach to effectively automate, unify, and improve all app development processes.

Venmo: Driving the Fintech Revolution

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 10:46:00 -0500

Online payment gateways and fintech apps are soaring as users are increasingly adopting them as superior alternatives to traditional banking. One of the market leaders, Venmo, has been driving the online payments revolution and pushing forward the adoption of fintech globally.

Picture this: you go out to grab a cup of coffee with your BFF. You get to the coffee place and suddenly realize you left your wallet at home. You don’t have any cash or cards to pay for your order, and your home is too many blocks away to make the quick run to retrieve your wallet. What now? Luckily, your beloved friend will gladly pay for you, and you can just pay her back when you get the chance, no sweat. However, you’re not the type to just let friends pay for you. What can you do? Many of us have been in similar situations before, and even though these are not life or death scenarios, they can be a hassle, especially when you need to pay for more than just coffee. Thankfully, mobile technology has evolved to the point where fintech companies and online payment gateways and apps have multiplied like rabbits in these past few years. We now can use our phones to pay for everything, from a cup of coffee to loans and insurance. So, thanks to fintech behemoths such as Venmo, you can now instantly reimburse your BFF for that cup of coffee and muffin you so wholeheartedly devoured without delays or the need for cash withdrawals, complicated transactions, or credit cards.

How to Enforce Security in IoT Devices

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 12:52:00 -0500

IoT devices are the cat’s meow of recent years. Yet, they are one of the leading technological innovations of the mobile world, and their adoption has skyrocketed. As a result, concerns have arisen about how secure they are and how to enforce robust security measures to keep them working seamlessly.

Ever since mobile applications took over the world–and our lives–by storm, our need for more dynamic, portable pieces of technology has skyrocketed to the point where, if our gadgets are tethered to something (think a desktop or a landline), we don’t want them.

Mobile apps are changing how we interact with technology, from simple assignments such as scheduling and setting reminders to more complex enterprises such as AI-based training. As a result, users are becoming more demanding, and the app development ecosystem is becoming increasingly competitive.

5 Mobile App Development Trends for 2022

Tue, 17 May 2022 12:55:00 -0500

Mobile app development is an ever-changing field that evolves with the increase in the demand for faster and better mobile products. So, to survive in the modern development environment, app developers must stay on top of the latest trends and understand how the industry evolves.

Remember when mobile phones were a luxury only a handful of humans could afford? Or after that, when they were more widespread but were as big as a brick and as unwieldy as a sword? And do you remember thinking about how advanced technology was at that time? Go figure, a couple of decades later, we would have mobile phones that have cameras, can store thousands of pictures, and fit snugly in your pocket. And, sure enough, in a couple of decades more, we’ll be remembering our iPhones with endless nostalgia and imagine how we could have been so impressed by such archaic pieces of technology. But that’s how it works in today’s world, where technology evolves at neck-breaking speeds. Smartphones have fundamentally transformed into tiny extensions of our minds, and modern business models now depend heavily on mobile apps and websites that seamlessly operate from within them. As a result, we have become more demanding in what those apps can do and how fast they can do it, putting intense pressure on the app development industry. Consequently, modern app developers must deliver better and faster mobile products. The only way to accomplish such a task is to base our development practices on the latest mobile app development trends.

A Complete Guide to Using Mobile App Templates

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 11:28:00 -0500

Deciding if you should build an application from scratch or use app templates comes down to many decisive factors that, while being wholly dependent on your app’s and company’s needs and requirements, should not be taken lightly.

It’s undeniable: for modern companies, leveraging the benefits of mobile apps, more than a luxury, has become a fundamental necessity. In today’s tech-driven world, if a business wants to stand out, empower their employees and customers, engage with their audience, and drive their sales, they need an application or some form of an online platform. But as this need for IT-powered grows, so do the demands and requirements for what these products can actually do. We want faster, better, and more intuitive apps regardless of what that means for the people that make it happen: app developers. As a result, we have been driven to find better and faster ways of shipping the products our users so desperately crave, which has inevitably ended in the birth of a more efficient and time-saving development approach: using mobile app templates.

The Importance of Application Maintenance for Product Scalability

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 12:15:00 -0500

The life of an app doesn’t begin at coding and end at deployment. Instead, application development is an ongoing process that starts with research and continues as long as the product’s lifecycle is active and in use. Hence, the importance of maintenance for scaling, supporting, and promoting durability in apps.

The mind-blowing pace at which technology is evolving, coupled with the pandemic, is upending individuals and businesses worldwide and driving us to adapt to the modern, digital way of living quickly. From shopping online to having virtual doctor consultations, we are now constantly leveraging web and mobile applications to drive our day-to-day and make business operations scale up faster than ever before. So, from transforming the online user experience and driving business innovation forward to creating new revenue avenues and broadening the reach of countless goods and services–IT-powered products are swiftly becoming game-changers for individuals and enterprises, both large and small, across the world. This phenomenon has undeniably made the app development industry more aware of the quality of the products we ship. But, more importantly, it has made us highly vigilant of our application maintenance practices.

Everything You Need to Know About Live Streaming App Development

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 14:37:00 -0500

Digital video and visual development avenues are evolving at a furious pace and are constantly morphing into more practical, efficient communication mechanisms. As a result, live streaming apps have taken over the world, and their development is becoming more popular and demanding.

The constant and fast-paced growth of modern technological advancements significantly impacts how we interact with IT-powered products and shapes the way we consume digital content. Not too long ago, we were renting movies at Blockbuster, buying beta max cassettes, or waiting days for one video to download only to watch it over and over in medium-to-low quality. Now, we find digital content streaming apps, websites, and channels everywhere. They have become the criterion by which we measure quality video content and, as we guzzle them up like water, new ones keep popping up left and right as we milk them and then move on to the next app. There’s no denying it; we love to generate, share, and consume live visual content. However, we now perceive entertainment in new terms, and those terms are defined by how fast and efficiently we can access these streams of live visuals. So, now the time has come for app developers to lay down the law and bolster live streaming app development, so the visual entertainment landscape keeps evolving and changing how we access digital content.

Guide To Choose The Best SaaS Development Partner

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 11:41:00 -0500

SaaS applications are becoming commonplace in the modern business environment. They provide valuable technological solutions to countless users and companies. When it comes to robust SaaS solutions, finding a suitable development partner can make the difference between success and failure.

By now, it’s undeniable that IT-powered products are absolutely pivotal for modern business growth. From mobile and web apps to websites and custom software solutions, companies worldwide are starting to see these products’ potential as unparalleled propellers for business success. Even for small businesses, having an app, straightforward customer service or marketplace chatbots, or a website can bring significant changes in how they interact with their customers, provide their goods and services, and accomplish their business goals. However, IT and modern tech-related subjects don’t come easy for everyone. Not everyone has the time or the skills to develop, implement, and maintain most of these tech tools. Additionally, manually installing, uploading, and updating software products can be a nag, and let’s face it, no one wants to do it. Here’s where software as a service (SaaS) comes in.

Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: AI’s Governance in App Development

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 11:57:00 -0500

Customer service operations are being streamlined by chatbots and virtual assistants, which, more than a luxury, are becoming essential tools for organizations of all industries and countries worldwide who want to deliver stellar service to their clients.

In today’s digital market, and with the growing adoption of modern technology trends, terms like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), among others, are starting to roll out of tongues with increasing ease every day. Our smartphones, tablets, computers, speakers, and even appliances are now powered by these technologies and their offspring, which now have names and even personalities that we can interact with and help us with our everyday tasks. Even companies of all shapes and sizes and worldwide conglomerates have started to leverage these invaluable tools to implement different conversational interfaces. As a result, they have reinvented themselves and helped power their operational efficiency, potentialize customer service, and automate most of their business processes. In that sense, these modern technologies are becoming the new worldwide bid for contemporary communication channels, and their adoption, more than a luxury, is becoming the norm. For this reason, modern AI applications such as chatbots and their more refined counterparts, virtual assistants, have become the talk of the town.

Sports App Development With Sportmonks’ APIs

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 08:08:00 -0500

Obtaining data via an API is critical for the proper functioning of any mobile app. However, in the case of sports apps, it is a hundred times more important for developers to bolster data-gathering via APIs such as those provided by SportMonks.

Picture this. It’s the weekend, and you’re enjoying a pleasant afternoon watching your favorite football team play a match…and they’re winning! And, a couple of seconds after they score that desired goal, you get a notification from your favorite sports app informing you that your team just scored! Not only that, but it also gives you instant updates with all the data concerning the goal, real-time game statistics, team figures, leading scorers, and even the scoring player’s biography. Yes, it happens that fast. But how do they do it? Is there someone working around the clock and manually sending notifications as soon as goals happen? Can you imagine? Not a chance. Those instant notifications and updates don’t just happen to flutter away into your phone by chance. They happen thanks to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). And, more specifically, in the case of your beloved sports app, they happen thanks to APIs provided by platforms like SportMonks.

Best Practices to Develop an Admin Panel for Your Mobile App

Sat, 26 Feb 2022 15:30:00 -0500

Administrator panels are a necessary part of any mobile app that, while mainly working behind the scenes, are crucial features to provide users with stellar service and smooth-running apps.

As you already know, mobile app development is an intricate process that requires synchronizing numerous elements that all come together to create the apps you and I have become so accustomed to. And they do work beautifully and look pretty, don’t they? Yes, the majority of the apps on our phones are there for a reason: they work for us. But how do they work? What happens behind the scenes? Well, usually, and as with most products and services we consume, we tend to only focus on the outside or on those aspects of said product that are useful for us. And when it comes to developing the apps we so eagerly use, all our attention goes to their functionality and none to their performance and the cogs and wheels behind them. The admin panel is one crucial yet often ignored part of these covert functionality bits.

A Guide To Marketplace App Development

Fri, 18 Feb 2022 09:29:00 -0500

eCommerce is the hottest trend right now in the world of online purchasing. As a result, mobile eCommerce has ignited the spawning of marketplace apps left and right that have driven online business transactions forward. But where do these apps come from? How are they made? Find out in this article!

Unless you’ve been living out at sea for the better part of the last couple of years, you’ve probably heard of online shopping or eCommerce and its somewhat recent boom at the back of the covid pandemic. Yes, people have been shopping online ever since Amazon and eBay opened their online stores and started selling some products sometime around 1999. The thing is, nowadays, online shopping is hotter than ever before. Thanks, in part, to the proliferation of mobile apps and devices, it has arguably become as relevant and necessary as eating or breathing. We can virtually buy and sell everything online and enjoy a digital haven where buyers and sellers can conduct business without any of the inconveniences of in-person shopping and selling. Think about it, isn’t it way easier to showcase your product on an online store instead of having to rent a space, develop a (costly) marketing campaign, promote your shop, and then struggle to get people to come inside? It is a hassle; that’s why we’re so thankful for marketplace apps.

Modern App Development Architecture: Monolithic or Microservices?

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:55:00 -0500

Modern approaches to application development practices have evolved to address existing issues and drive developer efficiency forward. One of these current approaches, microservices architecture, has revolutionized app development practices. As a result, industry debates over which architecture is better, microservices or monolithic, have spawned, and comparisons are inevitable.

Technological advancements and their evolution over the past decades are evident. We see it every day in our gadgets and the apps that run in them, which we use as lifelines to power our most basic daily activities. Yet, this digital transformation is palpable to us only on the surface. We know our phones work as they’re supposed to, our apps run smoothly and provide the services we expect from them, and our computers and the websites we visit on them perform at optimal speeds. But what goes on under the hood of those tiny pieces of technology we’ve become so accustomed to? How do they keep performing so efficiently despite the constantly changing technological landscape? In a nutshell, it all relies on app development architecture. And here’s where the two approaches to app development architecture we will be discussing today come in: monolithic and microservices architecture.

Foonkie Monkey’s Guide To Cross-platform App Development

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 09:01:00 -0500

Cross-platform app development is the gateway to faster, more scalable, innovative, and robust mobile products that meet user expectations and stand the test of time. It’s not easy, but with our guide, you can successfully enter the world of cross-platform development and become a relevant, out-of-this-world app developer.

Today’s fast-paced, tech-dependent life affects every aspect of how the world works. From online purchasing to remote working, humanity’s day-to-day is now governed by apps and mobile technologies that, for over a decade now, have been slowly becoming as necessary for our lives as the air we breathe. As a result of this phenomenon, we have become more demanding of the quality of the service we access. The mobile technologies we purchase or download must meet specific standards if we are going to let them inside our devices and into our world. Consequently, the mobile app development world has become highly competitive. Only the most disruptive, innovative, and robust developers are destined to stand out and ship products that will add value to our already crowded lives. Hence, developers, startups, and businesses can’t risk losing valuable users by not standing out because they won’t work on all operating systems (Android, Windows, and iOS) or because they’re not part of both platforms, Apple’s App Store and . Modern mobile products need to gain valuable ground on all fronts. For this, app developers must understand what cross-platform app development means and how to do it successfully.

Telemedicine App Development: The Ins and Outs

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 09:44:00 -0500

Telemedicine and remote health services are as in-vogue as they’ve ever been. For this reason, app developers must consider all the variables, requirements, and frameworks to ship innovative, robust telemedicine apps that meet the modern user’s needs accordingly.

Human life moves at an unbelievable pace, a statement that is particularly true for digital technologies. What was standard a decade ago is obsolete now. With the increasing needs of some population niches, the demand for faster, better, and more accessible technologies is higher than ever. And, if this demand wasn’t high enough already, the pandemic further accelerated the need for more efficient access to digital services and introduced a more pressing need for remoteness. Consequently, and as it was to be expected, the sectors in which people depend on the most for their wellbeing have seen themselves galvanized into taking action and steered themselves into providing more remote, accessible services. Sectors such as healthcare and banking have been the most influenced by this newfound need. As a result, the modern healthcare ecosystem is becoming an inclusive, accessible haven for users from all walks of life, partly thanks to telemedicine app development.

One of these companies is Finicity.

4 Proven Ways of Monetization For Your Free App

Thu, 09 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0500

Even though most apps in the app stores are free, developers and business owners still must develop robust monetizing strategies to ensure their products are successful in both the adoption and economic fronts.

When was the last time you paid to download an app? Most of us have never paid for a download. For others, it has probably been a while since we spent a few bucks to click that download button. Either way, the truth of the matter is that today, most apps in the App Store and Google Play are free. Actually, of the almost 2 million apps available on Apple’s platform, around 1,800,000 are free to download. That’s nearly 94% of the apps in the entire store that doesn’t require any fee for users to download them! Surprised? We sure are! These numbers bring another question to mind. How do all these free apps make money? Do these mobile products survive by remaining free forever? Indeed, us app developers must get paid. And startups and businesses must somehow make money from these free apps, right? Of course, they are. Otherwise, what’s the point? But how? App monetization.

EHR vs EMR vs PHR: choose the best for your app

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 09:42:00 -0500

Digital medical records are becoming an increasingly popular way of keeping patient data without paperwork, interoperability, or security issues. However, there are critical differences between how this data is stored, and stakeholders must understand them to properly harness the benefits of digitization in healthcare

Have you ever been to a doctor’s appointment and had to explain your entire medical history because they have no idea what your current or past ailments are? Or maybe they don’t have the tools to access your medical history? And what about at the end of the appointment when you end up with a ton of paperwork and handwritten prescriptions where you couldn’t read a single word? Well, if you have, you’re not alone. Sadly, even with the advent of modern technologies and the digitization of healthcare, there are still many practices that, for whatever reason, haven’t adopted the electronic solutions that can enable interoperability and data sharing. This issue is problematic, especially in today’s digitized healthcare environment, where successful health outcomes and patient-centricity are prioritized. Still, the tools exist, and placing the patient at the center of all medical activity mostly depends on how medical data is stored, used, and shared in healthcare apps, software, and medical systems. Here’s where Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Electronic Health Records (EHR), and Personal Health Records (PHR) come into play.

How Amazon’s Alexa is Helping Transform Healthcare

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 10:14:00 -0500

Alexa is finding her voice (pun intended) within the healthcare ecosystem. She is gaining traction as an assistant in several healthcare scenarios, making her an innovative tool in delivering medical care and positive health outcomes.

“Hey Siri…”, “Alexa…”, “Hey Google…”, any of these sound familiar? These and more wake words we use to interact with our digital assistants have become commonplace in our homes and workplaces. We’ve used them to play music, select movies, conduct Google searches, turn our appliances on or off, and even make shopping lists. In fact, they have become so popular that the smart speaker market could reach a whopping $23.3 billion market worth by 2025. These digital assistants have sure become handy, and chances are you have even interacted with at least one of these intelligent devices at some point in your daily life. But have you used them for medical purposes? Well, Amazon’s Alexa promesses to become your new go-to tool for your medical needs.

Bringing Patient Centricity Back to Healthcare

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 16:01:00 -0500

Patient centricity is of critical importance for the entire global healthcare ecosystem because it drives the motivation for patients to participate in their own medical care delivery, resulting in better outcomes.

Have you gone to the doctor recently? Or maybe to the ER? Haven’t you experienced delays and a lack of quality in attention and in delivering medical care? Or perhaps a lack of empathy, like you weren’t a priority? If you have, you’re not alone. It’s no secret that medical services across the globe are struggling to keep up with the growing needs of patients that demand faster, more efficient health care. The ever-increasing demand, and the healthcare ecosystem’s inability to keep up with it, have resulted in patient unhappiness. For instance, in the US, a study suggests that 81% of patients rate their healthcare experiences poorly despite the country housing top-tier medical schools and some of the most exceptional hospitals in the world. You would think that being home to one of the most qualified healthcare systems in the world translates to exemplary medical attention. Still, the truth is patient centricity is far from becoming a reality, even among champion healthcare facilities. Hence, the importance of patient centricity.

The Ultimate App Store Optimization (ASO) Checklist

Fri, 22 Oct 2021 08:39:00 -0500

Building a killer app store optimization (ASO) strategy is crucial for growing your user base, increasing retention rates, and reaching high popularity levels, all in a scalable, sustainable way.

When you need to find a new app, where do you go? Most people head right to the app store on their device, where they can find apps for everything. From fitness apps to games, there are currently over 7 million apps available in both app stores, making the competition for notoriety pretty stiff. This phenomenon puts extra pressure on us developers, who have our work cut out for us if we want our products to stand out. Developing a robust, innovative app is a painstaking process; that’s no secret.Foonkie Monkey

Enhancing User Experience With Gamification in Healthcare Apps

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 10:46:00 -0500

Gamification in healthcare apps, modern smart devices, and countless therapy avenues can gradually change user behaviors and make healthcare apps more adaptable, scalable, easier to use, and fun.

Healthcare has changed forever. The industry is experiencing challenges that have prompted medical institutions worldwide to adopt modern technologies and become more user-centric to better cope with stakeholders’ increasing demands and needs. Thankfully, this increase in demand has led to the industry’s digitization and rapid growth of countless mobile healthcare solutions to decongest the already occluded medical sector. Globally, the mobile healthcare market is expected to reach a value of $206 billion by 2026. That seems pretty far away, considering the industry is already showing signs of a far more rapid increase in value. Still, we don’t have to wait another five years to see the rise of mobile healthcare. According to the Institute for Human Data Science, more than 90,000 healthcare apps were released by the end of 2020. That’s an average of 250 mobile healthcare apps per day! This phenomenon has brought a myriad of benefits to the sector. Still, it has also made competition fierce. The quest for user retention means that healthcare app developers urgently need new, innovative solutions to capture user attention. Enter gamification in healthcare apps.

What Can Blockchain Do For Healthcare?

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 11:00:00 -0500

With its ability to provide unparalleled data security, promote interoperability, and eliminate the need for go-betweens, blockchain technology is slowly becoming a godsend to help solve the healthcare industry’s most pressing issues.

The US is poised to reach a national healthcare expenditure (NHE) of $6.2 trillion by 2028. Seems far away, right? Well, while seven years may seem like an eternity, the truth is that healthcare continues to be plagued by skyrocketing costs, crowded hospitals, inefficient practices, and concerning security breaches. And while most global healthcare systems are slowly breaking away from the slow, clumsy, paperwork-ridden structures they were 20 years ago, there are still hurdles to jump over. Luckily, today, hospitals, practices, insurance companies, and pharma organizations control and monitor patients’ healths and treatments more efficiently thanks to the birth and adoption of advanced modern technologies. These ubiquitous technologies enable clean and efficient data collection and sharing while allowing patient health management and monitoring at previously unseen scales. The system’s ability to function can thereby increase and, hopefully, help healthcare systems worldwide decompress and start saving lives, time, and money. One of these technologies is blockchain.

How To Successfully Market Your App

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 09:23:00 -0500

Building a great, robust app is just the beginning of your mobile product’s journey. An integral part of creating a successful app is creating an effective marketing strategy to maximize your product’s reach and ensure its adoption.

Imagine you have a brand new restaurant, and you’re finally opening it down the street from your home. After countless working days and sleepless nights, your dream has come true, and your restaurant opens up its doors early in the morning…without telling a soul. All you have done to promote your new eatery is open its doors, which have a hanging sign that reads: “Now open!”. Sure, you’ve hired the best chef, the most friendly waiters, you’ve purchased top-of-the-line cooking equipment and avant-garde furniture, the shiniest cutlery, and the most expensive china you could find. You’ve also made sure your chef bakes the most mouth-watering pastries every morning and the most succulent ravioli every night. And yet, days go by without you seeing an increase in sales or the endless lines of hungry customers you were planning on serving every day. What you thought would be a smashing success is shaping up to be a catastrophic failure. But why? A marketing strategy. Or lack of it.

The Role of Big Data in FinTech

Tue, 14 Sep 2021 11:23:00 -0500

The role of technology in financial services has been a transformative one thanks, in part, to the vastness of data pools, or Big Data, available for FinTech to mine and analyze. This data harvesting has resulted in invaluable insights for the sector to use and drive the growth of FinTechs around the globe.

Contemporary enterprises and sectors around the world aren’t strangers to the cliché we’ve all heard once before: data is the new gold. While it indeed has become a hackneyed phrase, it accurately depicts the way modern humans function; without data, our increasingly tech-dependent world wouldn’t move the way it does. Today, everything we use collects data about our habits, preferences, and behaviors, from smartphones to laptops and even home appliances. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is debatable, the heart of the matter is that the data pools keep growing, and businesses’ interest in them is only getting bigger. These neverending data lakes, or Big Data, are becoming fundamental for business success. Some sectors, like FinTech, are reaping the benefits of Big data to generate valuable insights and change the way they develop new business models. Moreover, Big data in Fintech can empower companies to provide better services and more user-oriented products to improve the way banks and financial technology companies operate.

Amazon Pharmacy: Will It Disrupt the Pharma Industry?

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 15:05:00 -0500

Amazon is making waves once more with the launch of Amazon Pharmacy, an extension of the online marketplace that sells prescription medication easily, fast, and without middlemen or tiring processes. As a result, the e-commerce giant is bound to disrupt the pharmacy industry.

There’s no denying it: Amazon is known for disrupting industries left and right and has a very long track record of doing so. The internet behemoth, which started by disrupting the bookstore business, has consistently expanded its portfolio during its 27 well-lived years, significantly disrupting retailers and revolutionizing how humans research, browse and purchase goods and services. And not only that, but Amazon also rattled the online cloud computing and storage industry with Amazon Web Services, the company’s very own on-demand cloud computing platform. Not content with that, three years ago, they purchased PillPack. This full-service online pharmacy revolutionized the way millions of Americans engaged with the pharma business, helping them get their prescriptions fulfilled without stepping one foot on a doctor’s office or pharmacy. With the purchase of PillPack, the internet company started dabbling in the pharma and healthcare sectors and disrupted the prescription business with outstanding success–no surprise there. Flash forward to November 2020, when Amazon decided to further expand its presence in the healthcare industry with the launch of its very own pharmacy: Amazon Pharmacy.

South Florida: A Haven for FinTech Startups

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 13:16:00 -0500

South Florida is stepping into the spotlight as a hub for innovation and is rapidly becoming a haven for tech companies. FinTech startups are flocking to South Florida as the territory is edging forward in becoming the Silicon Valley of the south.

Beaches, sunny days, and wild parties may be the first things to come to mind when you think about South Florida. Yet, a territory so well known for being the nerve center of the party scene and a preferred holiday spot for many may not seem like an obvious place to launch a Financial Technology (FinTech) startup. After all, when you hear the phrase “FinTech hub for startups,” your mind probably goes west to about San Francisco or Los Angeles, or maybe up north to New York. However, South Florida is quickly, yet conspicuously, becoming one of the nation’s hottest tech hubs for new businesses, especially FinTech startups. With the help of its international flavor and cultural diversity, this network of geographic locations is gradually becoming a FinTech accelerator grid tantamount to old single-location FinTech hotbeds such as Silicon Valley. And with the region’s entrepreneurial growth and the mix of startups and established companies setting up shop, we wouldn’t be surprised if, in some years, South Florida becomes the new epicenter of the country’s FinTech startup ecosystem.

Problems In Healthcare That Healthcare Apps Can solve

Mon, 23 Aug 2021 10:10:00 -0500

The global healthcare system is undergoing a massive shift. Nonetheless, modern mobile healthcare solutions can effectively tackle most traditional and emerging problems within the system.

Industries worldwide are undergoing disruptive changes thanks to the rapid evolution of modern technologies and the pandemic-driven need for better and faster digital solutions. This phenomenon has led to new problems regarding efficiency arising and modern apps providing solutions to those problems. For example, the restaurant industry had to modernize its online delivery systems with faster on-demand food services. The banking industry was upended and pushed into mobility with the proliferation of FinTech apps. And social media had to target communication issues and develop new ways of helping their user communicate online. Healthcare, however, is unique from the rest of the industries mentioned. It has a wide variety of issues that impact it, aside from the pandemic, and tackling them is challenging for stakeholders, especially for healthcare app developers. We are the gatekeepers of the mobile healthcare ecosystem, and as such, it is our responsibility to build the mobile solutions that solve healthcare’s most pressing problems–and quickly. This is where healthcare mobile apps come into play.

On-Demand Healthcare Apps: Revolutionizing Healthcare

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 11:14:00 -0500

On-demand healthcare apps are the new gateway to fast, efficient, and affordable medical care. They are slowly disrupting healthcare systems worldwide and are driving the search for more universal, accessible healthcare services.

With the birth of modern mobile technologies and their worldwide availability, universal consumer trends have kindled a newfound need for immediacy in the delivery of goods and services. Users have become more demanding in how fast and efficiently they can access certain services or purchase certain products; long waiting times and lines are no longer commonplace, nor are they tolerated. As a result, on-demand mobile applications for many services are becoming a hot trend in the startup universe. Popular mobile on-demand apps such as Uber, Postmates, Lyft, and Airbnb have shrewdly tapped into this need for speed and have disrupted the worldwide market. On-demand apps are helping companies of all shapes and sizes provide better customer service, increase coverage and product accessibility, and promote business growth, all at low operational costs. And even though these popular on-demand apps are disrupting the mobile market, one sector is slowly but surely reaping the benefits of these types of apps: healthcare. On-demand healthcare apps are new, hot, and will surely refashion the way we access medical services.

How To Get Your App On Apple’s App Store

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 10:43:00 -0500

Building an app is a backbreaking job. However, the complex process of birthing and shipping your newly developed iOS app doesn’t stop once it’s finished. Getting your app published in the App Store is the next step; hence, understanding Apple’s terms and complying with them will ensure your app gets published.

So, the hard work and long nights are over; you’re done building your iOS app. You committed countless hours and invested valuable resources in planning, designing, developing, and testing your app. You and your team detected and fixed every bug and made sure the UX/UI design works seamlessly across every device. The idea that started as an abstract concept on a board or a scribble on a piece of paper is now a reality that makes you proud. It all sounds great and exciting, but now what? Well, your iOS app’s successful journey into your users’ phones truly begins when it goes out into the world. And, as you already know, the gateway to your iOS app’s newfound global success is Apple’s App Store.

6 Healthcare App Development Trends For 2021

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 08:18:00 -0500

In today’s digital era, the mobile healthcare ecosystem is advancing at staggering speeds. New and upcoming technological trends are giving way to the modernization of medical care. As a result, healthcare app developers must support this modernization by adopting these new tools to deliver more robust, innovative products.

You’ve probably stumbled upon articles discussing technological trends and advances from past years and wonder why companies feel the need to highlight the top IT trends for their industry every year. Well, it so happens that, with each passing day, technology is updating at incredible speeds; what’s trending one month becomes obsolete the next. Thus, last year’s trends are this year’s commonality. This phenomenon has given way to technological changes constantly happening in almost all industries, especially healthcare. Yes, the healthcare sector is undergoing a radical transformation with the advent of novel technologies. Added to this, and in tandem with the constantly updating technologies, the pandemic has further submerged the industry into a massive transmutation and turned the industry 360 degrees in months. Doctor visits turned into video calls, patient records turned into digital files, and remote sensors became the new monitoring systems. Consequently, we think it’s safe to say that healthcare app development trends are not the same they once were.

HIPAA Compliance: The Cost of Ignoring it

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 08:10:00 -0500

HIPAA compliance for mobile healthcare applications and software can be a complicated issue to understand. Stakeholders can have a hard time understanding when healthcare apps are subject to HIPAA regulations and must ensure compliance. This misunderstanding can cause non-compliance issues and expensive fines.

The demand for faster and more efficient medical services and care delivery has snowballed for some years now. Fortunately, this growth in demand has been met with a proliferation of mobile health solutions. This has help increase the size of the mobile healthcare market and provide better and faster on-demand, remote medical care. In fact, the mobile healthcare market accounted for $35.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach a staggering value of $145.7 billion by 2027. That growth means a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.5% in seven years. Thanks to this growth, modern mobile healthcare solutions have helped healthcare systems and stakeholders across the globe alleviate the pressure of the increasing demand for medical care. However, as we become more accustomed to the benefits of remote healthcare and the use of healthcare apps and devices becomes commonplace, more significant amounts of highly sensitive data begin to flow through these apps.

UX Mistakes When Developing a Fintech App and How to Fix Them

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 10:00:00 -0500

Fintech apps have taken over mobile financial services, and competition is getting fierce. As a result, FinTech app developers must ship outstanding apps that capture and retain users. Hence, avoiding UX mistakes is crucial to remain competitive in the growing FinTech market.

Over two decades ago, Bill Gates said: “Banking is necessary; banks are not.” Whether you see it as an omen or not, the truth is that statement closely resembles the current state of affairs of the banking industry. Pressured by the pandemic, most financial institutions and businesses have started looking at modern monetary and banking processes from the mobile angle. Traditional banking’s reign over how we handle our finances has ended, and new banking channels are starting to vanish the outdated conception of old banking. Bank branches and in-person transactions have stepped down to welcome 24/7 online banking. This phenomenon ignited an uprising of financial technology, or FinTech, startups that have sped up the innovation efforts within the entire financial system. As a result, FinTech app developers now have their work cut out for them due to FinTech apps popping up left and right and becoming cardinal for startups, banks, businesses, and customers alike. This has highlighted the importance of UX design.

How is 5G Impacting App Development?

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 10:12:00 -0500

Faster smartphones demand faster networks to keep up with the increase in demands for gaming, high-definition streaming, and loading speeds. App development is unavoidably affected by these demands and, with the arrival of the 5G network, the industry will undoubtedly feel the impact full-force.

The advent of the 4G network, back in 2008, took the world by storm. Never-seen-before browsing speeds, faster online gaming, better smartphone connectivity, and smooth, high-definition streaming and video calls were some of the revolutionary advances 4G contributed to our tech-dependent lives. So it was only natural that, after a few years of experiencing the benefits of this cutting-edge technology, people began to expect even more dynamic experiences. And, as it often happens with most IT-based products, their rapid evolution is always paralleled by the increasing demands from the public. Hence, the fifth generation of cellular networks, the 5G network, was introduced in late 2018.

mHealth Apps: Digitizing the Pharma Industry

Thu, 24 Jun 2021 12:35:00 -0500

The streamlining of countless processes within the pharma industry has been possible thanks to mHealth devices and apps that promote data collection, patient engagement, and drug testing and control, among others.

The IT sector and the computer sciences industry have carried the weight of our world’s recent digital transformation. They have leveraged the digital rebirth of countless businesses that have casually implemented apps to broaden the scope of their operations. However, there are still industries whose modern processes are greatly affixed to the amalgamation of these technologies with their day-to-day operations. Healthcare and pharma are two of these sectors that have been reaping the benefits of said emerging mobile technologies–especially during the pandemic–and have adapted them to streamline their operations and suit their most pressing needs.

How are Online Banks Impacting Traditional Banks?

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 12:20:00 -0500

FinTechs and mobile-only banks have become a driving force in the modern banking environment. Traditional banking methods are losing their appeal and are stepping down to welcome modern digital solutions as the new preferred approaches to banking.

The digitalization of almost all modern consumer services is becoming increasingly necessary for industries across the globe to deliver relevant value to their users. This phenomenon has resulted in several emerging cross-industry trends that have led to a transformation in the expectations of how customers access said goods and services. These new expectations have forced companies of all sizes to adopt emerging technologies and modernize their businesses to remain relevant. Banking is one of the industries that has experienced these changes the most and has witnessed the whirlwind of digital initiatives that have completely disrupted the industry, especially since the Covid pandemic. Banking users are now demanding digital solutions and are more aware of all they can now do using their computers and smartphones. Henceforth, it’s no surprise that traditional banks keep losing their appeal, and online banks have become the new belle of the ball.

The Impact of IoMT in the Mobile Healthcare Space

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 10:49:00 -0500

The Internet of Medical Things has acquired a predominant role within the mobile healthcare ecosystem. It has helped developers bridge the gaps between patients, physicians, institutions and drive connected medical care forward.

For several years now, modern technologies have become a pervasive tool in human lives. Apps, websites, wearables, and countless IT-powered devices have been widely adopted across all industries worldwide. They are the propellers of more efficient processes and the globalization of modern business operations. Similarly, this past decade we have also witnessed the rise of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, and Machine Learning. These technologies have infiltrated our everydayness to modernize the way humans interact with our surroundings, which is particularly true for the healthcare sector. Healthcare has been a quick adopter of these technologies and has applied them to push itself forward and innovate medical care delivery. One of the propellers of this modernization is a boundless web-connected universe known as the Internet of Things (IoT). Its extension into healthcare, known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), is the main focus of this article.

User Journeys: How to Map Them For Your Lab Test App

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 08:28:00 -0500

Any app’s long-term success largely depends on having an active user base. As a result, developers must use comprehensive user journey maps so they have a proper understanding of their users’ motivations and expectations.

Modern healthcare apps offer ever-growing opportunities for stakeholders to tackle the issues and challenges that the healthcare sector is currently facing, thanks to the covid pandemic. However, for these apps to adequately deliver the entire scope of their benefits, it’s essential that developers design robust solutions that adhere to their market’s needs, expectations, and motivations. Additionally, healthcare developers are building more and more mobile products to decompress healthcare systems worldwide. Consequently, the need for these products to be better, faster, and more specific increases. Said demand puts the burden on developers to ship healthcare apps that align insights and build empathic relationships between stakeholders. This is possible thanks to user journey maps, a development tool that helps healthcare apps to better target their users.

Device Farms: An Alternative for Efficient App Testing

Fri, 28 May 2021 06:49:00 -0500

Device farms are a valuable alternative to testing that helps streamline processes for app and software development. Whether built in-house or from a third-party provider, they are efficient, cost-friendly, and highly scalable.

Picture this: you just finished developing your brand new mobile app. After many long days and nights, you’re finally ready to ship it and start to see the big bucks come in. Right? As we’re sure you already know, it doesn’t quite work that way. For any digital product to provide a universal experience, it must be fully functional anywhere and anytime. So, long before your app is ready to go live, you must make sure it works seamlessly across all devices, networks, operating systems, browsers, or any combination of these your users prefer. You may think this sounds like an obvious step, but keep in mind that there are currently about 3.8 billion smartphones in the world.

Using the right digital tools, everything seems effortless now, from buying and selling online to accessing goods and services from your phone with the slide of your finger. As a result, every organization is hiring app developers to get a piece of the digital market and have an exclusive app that helps them build a trusting, long-lasting client base.

State of Software Development 2021 Report: An Overview

Tue, 18 May 2021 14:15:00 -0500

The software development industry isn’t immune to change. It’s one of the most dynamic industries, and the State of Software Development 2021 report is a testament to the trends and changes it has undergone this past year.

No doubt, 2020 was a year of unparalleled disruption for everyone. The pandemic upended every industry, and businesses worldwide had to develop new ways–and sometimes improvise–to connect with their employees and customers to stay afloat. The world saw the rapid proliferation of remote-first work environments, and countless organizations underwent digital transformations that usually would’ve taken months in a matter of days. For the software development industry, this past year brought new, more urgent reasons to evolve faster. Developers had to find new ways to help organizations digitally engage with their employees and their market. Software development teams became the backbone of the new COVID-driven way of life. They found new ways to help businesses become more agile and produced new ways to code, build, and deploy digital products faster than ever before.

How to Get Investors For Your App

Fri, 14 May 2021 10:21:00 -0500

Every groundbreaking app idea needs proper funding to drive it forward. Startups and developers must understand the right ways to get funding for their ideas and where and what their options are.

Getting a unique idea for a mobile app can be pretty exciting. And why shouldn’t it be? Having a chance to dig into that $50 billion worth market is a thrilling prospect, especially for startups seeking new business opportunities. However, it is common for people to think that the development process for mobile applications is straightforward and simple: get an idea, develop it, and get rich. Unfortunately, and unlike other business ideas and startups, where entrepreneurs know what their product will look like, robust app development is not a linear process with a certain future. You can have a set idea at the initial stages of building and getting investors for your app. Still, user testing throws you curveballs, your budget gets thrown way off, and you end up needing so many modifications that your app will probably look nothing like the initial idea.

Key App Metrics to Measure Your App’s Success

Tue, 11 May 2021 07:41:00 -0500

The responsibility of developers towards their apps doesn’t stop at deployment. Assessing an app’s success after its release is just as important as any other stage of the development process and helps in evaluating its success.

Just over 12 years ago, Apple’s App Store launched with 500 apps. We dove into the era of mobile technologies, and ever since, the world has been spiraling towards an app-centered life. Whether this is a good thing or not is up for debate, but what we can’t argue with is that apps have revolutionized how humans function. Thanks to apps, we have access to everything with just a swipe of our fingers, which explains why they have taken over the world by storm almost 12 years later.

Remote Work Culture: Why it's Important and How We do It

Tue, 04 May 2021 08:38:00 -0500

At Foonkie Monkey, we’ve established our remote-first work culture for several years now, and we understand its importance and its benefits for both our company and our employees.

For some years now, and thanks to modern technology’s global availability, the global work environment has reaped remote work’s benefits, and some companies have even started to encourage it. However, this past year, and thanks to COVID, this transition upended business operations abruptly and caused enterprises to send their employees home to work. This situation drove many enterprises to implement “tech or die” strategies to maintain operations running smoothly. Other organizations didn’t have the time to adapt their policies and methodologies to the shift. Most didn’t immediately have the tools to manage their staff or create a remote work culture with a clear trust-your-employees concept. The “direct supervision equals productivity” paradigm shifted forcibly, and COVID pushed the world into remote work…luckily.

Foonkie Monkey's Guide to Writing Good User Stories

Thu, 29 Apr 2021 11:09:00 -0500

User stories are a development tool that helps us understand your audience better to know what we’re building, why, and who it’s for. They are an essential part of any relevant and competitive IT product.

So, you’ve made it this far in your company’s incursion into the digital world, and you can’t wait to reap the benefits your new app will bring to your business. Now all you have to do is lay back and wait, right? Well, not quite. It’s tempting to think that once you’ve hired Foonkey Monkey to develop your product, we won’t need you until your product is ready. Luckily, that’s not the case. See, the first stage of the development of your app is where we determine the specs and write out your product’s requirements. This process is linked to your product’s users, their needs, and the impact it will have on them. No one understands these aspects and your users better than you. So, to contextualize ourselves, target your users’ needs, and help us determine the functionality from their perspective, we use something called user stories.

5 Legal Considerations In App Development

Fri, 23 Apr 2021 16:59:00 -0500

As with any other business venture, app developers must keep their eye on their product’s critical legal considerations and implications. These considerations are essential to structure the app properly and keep it running successfully.

By now, it’s no secret that apps run our lives; they are everywhere, and the demand for better and faster mobile solutions is increasing widely. Mobile technologies provide unique ways to access goods and services, from buying groceries to getting medical care. As a result, and since late 2016, mobile devices started outselling computers, and in 2021, an increasing percentage (56% to be exact) of internet access happens through mobile devices. These figures come as a godsend for developers who are the ones carrying the torch of modern mobile technologies and their legal considerations. Henceforth, app development is progressively turning into an attractive market and one of the most promising revenue generators for startup companies.

Quality Assurance (QA) testing is a crucial part of the development process and is paramount for delivering highly competitive, robust mobile products. Today’s wide range of mobile ecosystems and device models comes with challenges, and developers must choose the appropriate QA testing tools to give their products an excellent competitive edge.

How to Promote Ethics-Driven Development Processes

Ethics is an often overlooked concept in development teams. However, ethics-driven development must always be at the forefront of programming processes to ensure data protection and product wholesomeness.

Almost everything–if not everything–depends on some computer system in the modern world. Everything has an IT technology behind it, from large enterprise operations to driving. Technology has inevitably found a way to sneak into our daily lives. It has made data collection the primary purpose of most software, apps, and other of the many IT products we have come to adopt. As a result, data has become the new currency, and it is the lifeline of countless business structures worldwide. Personal data is transferred, sold, purchased, and stored left and right by the same technologies that make our lives easier. However, this has sparked concerns regarding data security and has become one of the biggest hurdles for developers due to the implications inherent to handling user information. Consequently, as the masterminds behind these technologies, programmers and IT professionals are tasked with committing to their users through ethics-driven development practices.
