Smartphones are an ever growing medium that allows you to explore the internet. Weather you're looking for directions, a recipe, a home made medical remedy or browsing for the latest music video from Taylor Swift, a smartphone is all you need to be able to access these things. Mobile devices account for 55.79% of internet used. No wonder people are hooked on their mobile devices. 

Mobile Apps and the Revolutionary Trends

Mobile app development is on the rise due to the ever increase usage of mobile and tablet devices. Here are some of the emerging trends in the mobile app development: 

Augmented & Virtual Reality

Augmented & Virtual Reality are the hottest technology trends now that are used across the gaming, hospitality, real estate and tourism industries. From Pokemon Go, an augmented reality mobile app game toping 100 million downloads and bringing in $268 million dollars in revenue to the rapidly growing virtual reality apps across various industries, mobile devices prove to be the platform of choice for many. 

Cloud Based Mobile Applications

Did you ever wish you had more storage on your phone? You need to delete apps, photos or videos in order to make space and that is annoying. This is where cloud driven apps come in handy as data is stored on remote servers and not your mobile device. This data can be accessed at any point and from any location as long as you have an internet connection. Many developers argue that Cloud is the future of mobile app development as users have more freedom in terms of consuming and storing more of the content they love without sacrificing device space.
