Archives For user experience. April 1, 2016. Ask for permissions when relevant. Android recently changed its permission model with Android 6.0 (API level 23). And is now on par with iOS. What added value does your app offer? The user hasn’t had a chance yet to answer those questions, so will be inclined to decline permissions for your push notifications. And reversing that decision via System settings is very hard, so you lost forever the possibility to sent notifications to that user. User-friendly push...

Web Developers, Don’t Be Lazy And Learn A Native Mobile Language. December 30, 2012. OK, I had this post written already a couple of times, evaluating HTML5 tech versus native technology for mobile apps. Dealing with clients developing mobile apps. Native technology allows for excellent apps, whereas HTML5 apps will be at best just OK. But still, you can see the interface is not as fast and snappy as for instance Path. Or the new Facebook iOS app. Learn more at Mobtest.com. On Web Developers, Don’t...

Is your mobile app ready for launch? January 14, 2014. For months your team have been slaving away on your iOS or Android app. Burned the midnight oil to find the last bugs and fix them, polished the interface. Made sure you followed the Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines. Or Android Core App Quality Guidelines. Now you ask yourself, is our app mature enough to launch? Will your hard work pay off or will it be a botched launch. But first, why is the launch of an app an important moment? Make sure your ...

App engagement is a much better metric than downloads. May 27, 2013. Last week Amazon announced the availability of app engament metrics. For Android apps published in their app store. Finally, I thought! The next step would be to use app engagement for top 25’s ranking. One reason why everybody has been focused so much on downloads is that they have a big impact on ranking for various stores, in particular Apple’s iTunes App Store. As app downloads are too easy to fake a lot of companies resorted to pla...

First Time iPhone Users Should Be Jealous Of Android: Facebook Home. April 5, 2013. Yesterday’s announcement of Facebook Home. Means that for the first time a mainstream service has a better offering on Android than on iPhone, partly due to restrictions of the iOS platform itself. Facebook Home for Android updates your home screen with status updates and photos, shows profile pictures of your friends on top of other applications with the new Chat Heads. So what does is mean for other companies? Mobtest h...

ITunes App Store sucks, and finally Apple acknowledges it. February 24, 2012. I had this blog post drafted already, and originally had it titled “iTunes App Store sucks, and Apple doesn’t give a shit”. Well, after the acquisition of Chomp. Apple shows it knows. Finally! To be more precise, I think that app discovery in the app store sucks, and this hurts both users and developers. Anybody ever used Genius more than once? Genius is a joke like Ping is. Apparently, Apple is just not good at social. As a re...
