2. Keep it Simple

Then select a mobile development strategy for your business app; Hybrid, Native or Mobile Web.

4. Test the Performance of the App

Slow loading apps are the major reason to fail and disliked by the users. Your users might stop using your app if it is loading slow. And the failure chances of the app will increase. Ensure testing performance of your app throughout the whole development process to avoid any performance issues.

5. Provide Offline Functionality

Although, all apps work on the availability of an internet connection. But try to induce some features that can also work offline. This is a significant way to create a positive user experience and getting them engaged with your app even when they are offline.
