Mobile App Trends for 2023

As we spend more and more time on our smart phones, there are more opportunities for mobile app development and innovation. According to Statista, in the third quarter of 2022, Google Play offered around 3.55 million applications for its users, making it the app store with the highest number of applications; the Apple App store being the second-largest with around 1.6 million apps. So what’s in store for 2023? Here are a few mobile app trends to look out for in the upcoming year.

Low Code or No Code Application Development

The same way that WordPress made blogging and website development easier, low code and no code platforms for developing mobile apps are becoming popular as they make app development easier. Building mobile apps with editors and drag-and-drop features could be on the rise in 2023.

Mobile Commerce

Mobile commerce, or m-commerce, is the purchasing or selling of products and services using a mobile device. M-commerce apps address the increasing number of mobile users who make purchases directly via mobile apps vs. through web pages. There are a number of advantages for retailers to consider an m-commerce app, such as improving conversion rates and increasing customer engagement.

Wearables

The increasing popularity of wearable devices creates a great opportunity for mobile app integration. Consider building mobile apps that not only easily integrate with wearables (for example, allow the user to track health metrics) but also offer an outstanding and customized user experience.

Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality

As innovations with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) continue to provide more immersive experiences for users, it is no surprise that more and more mobile apps are integrating these technologies. For example, a mobile app for a home decor business can provide a more personalized user experience by allowing a customer to see how specific paint colors or furniture might look in their home.
