Three Custom App Trends Emerging in 2020
The trends that look to be unfolding throughout the rest of 2020 are truly extraordinary, showcasing just how far the mobile space has come in just a few short years. Keep reading the blog to find out what just some of these trends are going to be and which ones you might be able to implement for your business.
Custom App Trend #1: Mobile Commerce
It appears that with every year that goes by, more and more people are using their mobile devices to buy what they need, and perhaps more importantly, what they want online. This boom in ecommerce is not going to stop any time soon, and will, if previous years are anything to go by, actually increase exponentially.

Therefore, a continuing trend for app development must be mobile commerce. The entire process of buying online, from beginning to end, is becoming seamless with one touch technology and even facial recognition. Custom app development will be trending towards even more advanced tech to make buying online as simple as possible.
Custom App Trend #2: Apps for Foldable Devices
In the past, a custom app did not specifically link itself to the device it would be used on. Regardless of whether it was a tablet or a cell phone, the app displayed identical interfaces. However, this scenario is changing, with the emergence of apps specifically tailored for foldable phones.
Is this not something we encountered early in the 21st century or even earlier—foldable or ‘flip’ phones? The fact remains that nostalgia holds enduring appeal, and when combined with the latest technology, it becomes a surefire hit. Devices like the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Motorola Raza, and Huawei Mate X all feature foldable designs with varying screen sizes, necessitating consideration from both app developers and their users.
Custom App Trend #3: Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is hugely exciting, and it is becoming something that mobile custom app developers are integrating into their products more often. Excitingly, although AI and machine learning have been around for a little while now, the new technology that is emerging, plus the generally positive feelings coming from business owners about how AI can help them, is pushing it further than ever before.
We really have only just begun to see how much AI can do, but with so much funding and so many people working on it, it is sure to be only a matter of time before the next big announcement is made.
