<\/div>\n

Two years ago, the mobile app development<\/a> business was one of the top 10 trends for startups. More than a million applications have been submitted on Android and Apple stores for the past 3 years. In order to thrive in this highly competitive market, it is very important for an app to keep the audience engaged while driving revenue. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cResearch states that smartphone owners have an average of almost 100 apps installed on their mobile devices, but use only 40 of them on a monthly basis.\u201d<\/em> (Source)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n

Here are the top 4 problems faced by the mobile app industry in terms of engagement and retention \u2013 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1. Lack of proper communication<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n
\n

\u201cApps across different industries are experiencing an average churn of almost 75% by the 3rd month from the time of download. That\u2019s losing more than half of the user base.\u201d<\/em> (Source)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n

Be it games, fashion, food or grocery, people nowadays have a lot of options. This is one of the main reasons why apps are abandoned easily if the experience is not great enough. Consumers nowadays are flooded with promotional messages all the time. In such a scenario, if your app notifications have the same message sent to everyone without any customization or without taking into account the personal interests of users \u2013 it is but natural for them to lose interest.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2. Inadequate access to customer insight<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n

It has been projected that 5 million apps will be there in the app store by 2020, (source) <\/em><\/a>so it is imperative to find ways to keep your app ahead in the competition. Customer insights are your keyhole to peep and learn more about them as well as their changing preferences. <\/p>\n

However, the problem is when it comes to the mobile audience, there\u2019s always a constant flux. Finding out the relevant data from the huge metrics is very difficult and makes getting to know your audience deeply very challenging.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

3. No clear benefits<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n
\n

\u201cDo you know that among mobile users who stop using an app, 30%would use it again if offered a discount, and 24% would use it again if offered exclusive or bonus content?\u201d <\/em>(source)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n

The audience loving your app is just one part of your success, for them to take it to the next level is also important for your growth. Word of mouth publicity from the audience is important for your app to flourish. For this to happen, it is important that the incentives and referral programs that you offer are appropriate and tracked, which often becomes a difficulty.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4. Frequent changes in the app<\/strong><\/h4>\n

All apps undergo a lot of changes from time to time in order to be updated, in accordance with customer feedback and industry dynamics. Changing codes frequently on your application can make it very difficult and challenging to track the user engagement journey.<\/p>\n
