The Benefits of a Mobile App for a Small Business
Rapid technological evolution and the development of mobile
technology have meant good things for small businesses. A few years ago,
big businesses could ride rough shod over the smaller businesses
through their big marketing budgets and wider reach, but the advance of
mobile technology has led to smaller businesses getting a level playing
field in their domain. It is the emergence of mobile web app development
that has set the cat amongst the pigeons and businesses who earlier
didn’t know how to compete with their bigger counterparts are making
good use of mobile technology to steal a march over their competitors.
A mobile app, presents a lot of opportunities to small businesses with its string of benefits: Let’s take a look at them:
It’s a Great marketing Tool
A mobile app
is a great way of promoting your products and services. An app that
helps shoppers access your products and services and buy them is a great
way of connecting with your customers and giving them an opportunity to
purchase your products. But, you don’t necessarily have to build an app
that is all about your products and services. You can even develop a
gaming app and add a splash page of your business to do some indirect
promotion. You can even get a utility app developed that satisfies some
essential requirement of your target audience, with a company banner
right on top of the application’s UI. This means whenever your audience
is using the app, they will keep coming across the name of your
business, which essentially has brought out the app. This is a great
promotional strategy that helps you reach out to a wider audience
through the devices that they use constantly – their mobile devices.
More Personal Connect
Score
over your competitors through mobile web app development that helps you
connect with your customers at a personal level. Why not create an app
that allows you to directly interact with your target audience. Figure
out an app concept that helps you connect with both potential and
existing customers and get their feedback directly. Integrate your app
with Facebook or Twitter to get a conversation going in social media and
get feedback in real time. Work with expert mobile web development companies to develop an app that is in line with your requirements that is personally connecting with your audience.
Improving Customer Centric Business Processes
Allow me to give you an example of improving customer centric business processes with a mobile app.
Say you are running an interior designing business wherein your sales
staff goes to prospective clients to understand their needs and
requirements. One of the problems you are facing is that you can’t
satisfy the requirements of clients who want an immediate quote with
respect to the interior designing work that they want to get done from
you.
In this case a mobile app specifically designed to formulate
the right quote is a great idea and will improve your business process
and its prospects by a long way. Remember this is a mobile app that is
to be used by your sales support staff alone, helping them offer a quote
in real time to their clients they are interacting with. By doing so
you are not only improving your business process but also showcasing
your business in a good light. This helps you convert your prospective
clients into actual clients.
Adapting to changing client needs
As
a small business, you need to keep adapting to the latest needs of your
target market. The fact that you are small makes your business more
agile but the needs of the clients are going to change rapidly and a
mobile app gives you scope to change as your audience wants you to
change. You don’t have to make wholesale changes to your business
processes, but just building an app that takes into consideration the
demand of your audience will help you satisfy their requirements. This
is a cost effective way for small businesses to make the necessary
changes to their businesses environment without making changes to their
existing business infrastructure. Mobile apps can be used as an adaptive
measure to conform to the changing needs and requirements of the target
audience.
Everybody’s doing it
Most
small businesses who recognize the importance of using the latest
technology for business benefits are putting mobile apps to good use.
You don’t want to be left out do you? In fact a well-made mobile app
helps you stand out from the crowd and that is an absolute must for
businesses. The reason why some people are going to choose your business
over that of the large businesses is because your business has a mobile
app and it has made accessing your products and services all that
simpler. This is an advantage that shouldn’t be missed.
End Words
There
are plenty of mobile web development companies who are offering app
development services, and to ensure that your app delivers all the
benefits that you want it to, you must choose the services of only the
most reputed development companies in the domain. The trick is to do
some solid research before you zero in on the services of one. Before
you decide to work with a company, know about the projects they have
handled before and whether their mobile apps are really worth it or not.
Only after you are very sure about the company, hire it for your app
development project.
It’s only working with the right mobile app
development company that will help you get your hands on the right kind
of mobile app for your small business.

Simple Tips to Keep Running Your Android Device
You know that Android is the preeminent mobile OS
when there also so many mobile OSs in this market. Some features and
its exceptional technology charm everyone’s devotion instantaneously.
But to get most out of your humble or any advanced Android
device, you ought to pay attention to your gadget. Here are some
details of a few couple of tips and applications to keep running your
Android device. Some of them were introduced in Versed Tech previously
when you could also get some latest tips in this article. So, don’t be
fed up and read this entire article before typing facebook.com in your
address bar.
How to boost your Android device?
Go with updated apps:
Yes!
You should always update your apps which are installed on your gadget.
Those apps may be from built-in or external. To check where an update is
available or not, you don’t need any third party tool since Android
will check it automatically for you.
Use Antivirus:
Yes,
no matter whether you are using a old version of Android or latest
version but you should keep your Android device running with a perfect
anti-virus. There are tons of anti-viruses e.g. Avast, AVG, McAfee. You can make use of any one. But be aware from fake anti-viruses and clutter creators.
Use Battery savers:
There
is no limit how much time your battery will run smoothly but you must
give a battery saver a try so that you can optimize your old or new
battery effectively. In this case, you can use anyone from Battery Dr. Saver, Du Battery Saver and Easy Battery Saver. These three apps are most reliable and highly recommended by several websites and developers.
Use Task Killer:
I don’t want to say to use Task Killer application
but I actually want to say that you can use any task killer from Google
Play. Actually, your phone might not get some background processes and
that’s why you should use a task killer application to get rid of those
hidden processes.
[Note:- Choose a task killer that could kill your
other running features after a particular time. For that you can make a
search for all in one task killer like All in One Toolbox.]
I think, this article will surely help you very much.
How to Search for Related Image using TinEye
I know that there are so many web apps those could pick out related
or matched picture over this large web but I have found something
interesting in TinEye. TinEye client is available for Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera. That’s why
this is not a matter that which browser is used by you since it is
available for most of the web browsers. And most attention-grabbing
thing is that you can use as a web application too.
Generally, you
can make a search for corresponding images in Google Image Search. But
there from this is quite difficult to pick out matched images when you
can use TinEye as the best alternative.
How to find related image using TinEye?
This
looks pretty simple and not yet so time spender too. At fist, we will
show you how to do it as web app. For that, go to the home page of TinEye
and choose the search type i.e. choose file from your hard drive or
search related image from the web. If you choose the first method, you
will have to select your image from your PC and if you want to search
for an image that is on the web, just paste the URL there and ht the Search button.
On
other end, if you want to use the extensions on your browser, just add
that tool to your browser. After that, select an image and right click
the option that says Search Image on TinEye.
That’s all!
AppDJ – Discover More Unknown Android Apps
You know that you can install your apps either from your Android
device or from computers by connecting with your Gmail account. Both
methods don’t accomplish the demand of users as it doesn’t offer so many
options to find out a particular tool for your gadget. Google Play is
covered with tons of beautiful applications but we can only see some of
them under a few couple of categories i.e. Books, Productivity and more.
Sometimes it helps but after a few days of watching those same
applications, we become bore. To get rid of this problem, here is your
simple solution.
Meet AppDJ. AppDJ
is one of the best applications to pick out another widespread app from
your Android Market. It will help you to find apps regarding to
popularity, lifestyle, productivity, trending and Entertainment.
Why this seems helpful?
You

instead of searching by popularity, data of launching. But if you use
this application, you could easily search for a tool /get an application
by making use of these features.
How to find apps using AppDJ?
After opening this tool, you will come across to a screen something like the following picture.
Just
tap and increase or decrease the level of popularity, entertainment or
anything else those has been added in this tool. Hence, you can find the
following screen that will mention you that your gadget is now
searching for your applications.
I think, this little bit of piece is enough for now.
An Android App Manager to Manage Your Applications
Android App Manager is such a application manager for Android
that could do anything in order to free up space and manage unwanted or
installed apps. You know that Google Play is covered by millions of
well-performed apps such like Astrid Tasks, Battery Dr. Saver, Twilight and so on. All those are as similar as Android App Manager in terms of performance.
What does Android App Manager do?
Actually,
it could do anything. For example, if you want to manage apps one by
one, you can do it. Or if you yearn for installing apps directly from SD
card, you can easily do it within moments.
You
can also export the .apk file of any software of your phone or this is
also possible to share those APK files with your friends or with anyone
else. One option will show you the battery meter of your Android device.
The most important feature is import /export. That means, you can
easily create backup of your installed apps before formatting your
device and re-install them from that backed up file that has been made
in your SD Card.
I think, this little bit of piece will help you very much.

How to Share Your Android Apps with Friends
You know that there are so many techniques to share apps over internet but the question comes when someone asks you to share
built-in apps with friends or share the APK file with someone else.
Isn’t? To give the proper answer to that person, here is an article that
is now going to write as a review of an Android app that is called MyAppSharer.
By making use of MyAppSharer, you can easily share any of your
installed apps with your friends, relatives or with anyone else.

Hence, you will come across to some options i.e. Bluetooth, Message and
more. You have to choose one service to share that file.
You can also share the link of that app. For that, you have to select Link. (Follow the following picture)

Lock Particular Android Apps using First App Lock [Parental Control]
You know that Google Play is full of brilliant application, books and more and First App Lock
is one of them that might be useful if you want to lock particular
Android apps. Parental control is such a great thing that helps you to
get control over each feature that you have. Instead of locking down
entire phone, you can use a parental control app such like Android Parental Control to lock a particular application.
When
you have left your mobile at a reliable public place, you do worry
about your privacy. But if you are using a parental control app, you are
out of that worry since you have locked down your most important app
previously.
Now a days, you can find the effect of thieves at
everywhere. To get rid of them, you should take care of your digital
gadgets i.e. laptop, mobile etc. But only you is nothing whereas a
software can do more than you.
As Android is one of the best
mobile operating systems and their phones are not yet so cheap, you
might be fall in problem at public place if you have an Android gadget
because most of the thieves target high quality gadgets. So, you can
either use a lock that will lock down your entire or use a parental
control application to lock down a particular app.
But
if you will use your phone lock, you will have to unlock that inside
friend circle when your friend needs your phone for gaming, listening
music etc. Meanwhile you have already dropped your phone into trouble
because you have unlocked your phone and given it away to your friend.
Now he can access your mobile entirely. Isn’t it? That’s why I always
prefer an app that will lock down selected application instead of entire
phone.
How to lock particular apps in Android?
I have introduced the name of the application that I am going to use. Meet First App Lock
that will assist you to do so. At first, open it and set a master
password. Then go to all apps tab and press the lock button to lock a
particular application.
After doing so, whenever you will go to open that locked app, you will come across to a screen which will ask the password.
I hope this application will help you a lot. Keep locking.
Glextor AppManager – Manager Your Android Apps Effectively!!!
Android is a
luminous mobile OS which is covered by thousands of apps and all of them
could be grabbed either from Google Play or from other third party
resources. Everyone installs so many applications for a variety of
purposes. Suppose, you want to stream Youtube videos inside your browser
and want to get most out of your speakers when you are listening music. At this situation, you can use VLC media player and WinAmp correspondingly.
Just
note that you have installed two apps along with your default music and
video players. So, now you have total four apps only for listening
music and watching videos. Thus, you might have 15 apps to accomplish
different things i.e. fast browsing, handle passwords etc. To get them
in a simple order, you can make use of any app manager such like Glextor AppManager.
This
app makes it simple to manage your all apps by straightening out in
different groups. Though this is the main reason for that you can give
it a try, you can also use it to uninstall, share your installed
applications. By default, it creates three tabs i.e. All Apps, Download and Favorites.
You
can find your apps in first two tabs when apps will be visible in third
tab after sorting them out into groups. It has not so many settings but
you can still do some changes such as language, navigation type etc.
from the Settings page.
I think this is enough at this time. Hope it would help you a lot.

Why do Some People Dislike Android???
According to me, Android
is one of the best systems that I have ever seen/used. Thousands of
mobile phones and tablets are running on this system since past few
years. Android is the most popular OS for its authority. I mean whenever
I famous company makes something, their product spread all over the
world rapidly. And Android is produced by Google which is the largest
company in this modern world.
They
give every kind of facilities to their users but still some people
dislike Android because they have faced some issues on this. Personally
my recommendation goes to Android because this is cheap and affordable
when you have to spend at least $500 to get a good iOS device. There is
also an OS and that is Windows which is produced by Microsoft but that
is not yet so popular except Nokia lovers.
Why do some people dislike Android?
This is obvious that a particular thing might not able to grab the attention of every people. And Android is one of those victims.
Malware:
Malware
is such a thing that will surely help you to damage your phone (Just
kidding). There are so many resources to get free apps and paid apps for free.
You can download your favorite apps from Google Play. But what is the
guarantee that Google Play is a safe place to get apps? According to me,
a hacker is much active on every common place than a normal developer.
So, any spammer could develop an interesting app and spam through Google
Play. Isn’t it?
Software Update:
Just read this simple
example. You know that Gmail is a common app in Google Play which is
available for every version of Android. But Google doesn’t update or
upgrade that app for all versions or even you cannot download that
updated app if you are using a lower version of Android. It will show
you the following words.
But there is no restriction for iOS and Windows.
Battery Killers:
According
to some people, they want to use only their phone for incoming and
outgoing calls after using some apps. They say that Android apps are the
most harmful for any kind of devices. And really, Android applications
and games take a lot of battery to run smoothly. Though you can make use
of some stat viewer like BetterBatteryStats, Du battery Saver etc. but still you will face that problem after a few months.
I think these are most common and really harmful problems with Android devices.
Access All Social Networking Sites from One Place in Android
You know that now a days every kind of people use various social networking sites i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. for different purposes. For instance, bloggers use these sites to grow up their blog and a normal guy uses these same sites to get connected with friends and so on. On other end, Android becomes the most handy mobile operating system since past few couple of years.
Android
offers some apps for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and others to get
always connected with relatives, friends and others. But it becomes very
much destructive when you are an active user of all those sites. If it
is yes, then it will also be possible to get hundreds of messages,
friend requests, tweets, direct messages from different social
networking sites.
To check them all above mentioned things after
one by one, you will have to open every apps e.g. Facebook to check
Facebook notifications, Twitter to check tweets, direct messages,
Instagram to check pictures and so on. It is also a time spender job to
check them all simultaneously.
So, to get rid of this boring task,
today I am going to introduce an application that lets you access all
social networking sites from one place in your Android device. You will
get control over all sites’ new feeds. You can check tweets, retweets,
Facebook notifications and more others. There is also another reason
for that I do recommend you to use it. Suppose, you want to update a
news on Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter. At this situation, you will
have to write the same thing for more than one time to update that on
various sites. But this Android application would help you to update
status at one time.
How to access all social networking sites from one place?
Meet KeepApp
that will do all what I have told you above. Just install and run it in
your device. At first, you will find a screen something like the
following picture.
Press the “Gear” button
and add sites that you want to access. [Note:- Every site requires
authorization. But don’t worry, if you have not installed any app i.e. Twitter, Instagram, you can authenticate it from any
browser that you have installed.
After that, you can find all notification from various sites. To update the same status on different sites, press the “Add New” button
and write down whatever you want. Therefore, you will need to select
your authorized sites where you want to paste that news.
And you have almost done! Hope this new app will help you a lot.
