Apps may not be the past of digital industry but for sure, they account for the bright future of the domain. As of now, there are more than 5 billion apps in the Google and Apple Play store.  Every day new apps are being launched and this trend does not seem to have faded in ongoing years. 

However, not all apps are created in the same way. Till date, mobile apps were largely native meaning that users had to download apps on their mobile phone to access them. The fact that native apps are platform specific, Android and iOS users need to download separate apps for their devices. To cope with this issue, mobile app developers in Los Angeles are emphasizing on the development of cloud-based apps. 

According to research, it is expected that the market of cloud apps would reach to $3.85 billion by the end of 2023 and at an annual CAGR of 17.1 percent.
 
Cloud-based mobile apps are live on servers and users irrespective of the mobile platform can access them via web browsers. Whether you are developing a new app or have an existing app, considering to induce cloud-based app would not be a bad idea. In case you are still in the dilemma, I will take you through the benefits of cloud-based apps and then you can make your choice. 

3 Reasons To Build Custom Mobile Apps Using Cloud Technology

●     Compatible With All Platforms

Where native apps are dedicated to a particular platform, cloud-based apps can function both on Android and iOS platforms. Owing to this, developers need not built separate apps for different platforms. Earlier, developers had to choose between Android and iOS apps and choose the one having a larger audience. But after the inception of cloud apps, you need not determine the potential customers as a single app would target all. 

●     Comparatively Lesser Cost

If ever you have developed a native app, you would be aware of its development cost and trust me this isn't inexpensive. If you choose to build native apps whether, for Android or iOS platform,  you need to spend double the time and cost. On the other hand, building cloud-based apps, you would spend less time and likewise incur a lesser cost. Few of the startup companies are focusing on cloud-based apps coping with their budget issues.

●     Cloud-Based Apps Are Secured

Few of the cloud technology redundancies such as multi-server locations and copies of custom apps are proven to reduce risk related to mobile apps. These infrastructures as compared to the traditional form of app development deter the risk of losing data. Further, it is expected that the cloud would add measures for security with the benefits of scalability, workflow digitization, and cost-control.

No, doubt the technology of cloud is taking over all other trends. Very soon it would form the base of business processes helping mobile app developers build highly proficient apps with improved productivity and great user engagement.
