Introduction:

If you’re on a product team for a mobile app, you’re aware that mobile app performance is essential and difficult. In an era of ever-increasing speeds and convenience, users expect everything to be fast and seamless. Performance issues can hinder retention and engagement.

The numbers are staggering: almost 80% of users abandon an app if it doesn’t load on the first try, and 53% abandon an app if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Companies need to think about that number before they can think about the next number: performance-oriented development and the importance of ongoing optimization.

At Niotechone we deliver mobile app development services that take into account speed, reliability and user experience. Using mobile app performance analytics and integrating an SDK, we are able to assist product teams in identifying bottlenecks, improving user experience (UX) and make sure their apps are performing steadily under any condition.

What Is Mobile App Performance?

When we talk about mobile app performance we are mostly talking about efficiency in the back-end of the app—simply the efficiency of the app as it runs on the mobile device at various different levels. When considering app performance, three of the key performance indicators are:

App Load Time: Time it takes to open & begin accelerating.
App Stability: Frequency of error and crash reporting.
User Interaction Responsiveness: Ability of the app to respond to user behavior.

While app performance metrics are important, it is not always easy to monitor just one, or all of these indicators. Because a user interacts with an app unpredictably, users commonly expose an issue that is not going to show in testing.

That’s where Niotechone steps in to improve mobile app performance. Niotechone uses cutting-edge mobile app analytic tools to provide product teams with real insights into user behavior, highlights pain points, and optimizes the app. By focusing on real user behavior we can help teams build a more reliable, high-performing app, and ultimately, a user-centered mobile experience.

Mobile App Performance

Improving mobile app performance is important because it influences the success of your app in an ever-changing mobile application market. With the plethora of apps available at users’ fingertips on their smartphones, they have no patience for slow, buggy or unresponsive apps. One bad experience leads to lure users away from your app.

You need to take strides to proactively enhance user experience (UX). Most users will not report the problems with your app. They will simply ignore your app and go to another. Luckily, if you can monitor, survey, verify and diagnose performance problems in real time, you are that much closer to user retention.

At Niotechone, our mobile app performance capabilities allow businesses to detect and correct application performance issues immediately; helping to maintain app functionality, decrease load times, and promote an overall seamless user experience. The sooner issues can be corrected, the more likely your app can keep users engaged, increasing retention and enhancing your competitive advantage in the mobile app ecosystem.

How to Enhance Mobile App Performance

Improving mobile app performance is essential to providing a solid and engaging user experience (UX). At Niotechone, we work with businesses to ensure their mobile applications provide better performance with faster load times, lower crash rate, and better retention. Below are some practical suggestions to improve your app’s performance:

Track User Engagement and User Behavior
The first step toward improving the experience of your users is to understand how they are engaging with your app. If you are tracking user engagement, you should review measurements for session length, feature usage, and where potential drop-off points are in your app.
Make sure your app is not delayed in launching
Users expect apps to launch instantly. If you are waiting for the application to start up, the experience is already lost on the first use. Optimize the app’s startup so the first impression is smooth and users remain or increase engagement.
Create Mobile Carousels to Encourage Feature Use
You can lead users toward the important features of your mobile app through smart and intuitive carousels and interactive tutorials. This promotes feature use at the same time as promoting ease of use in navigation, but also performance.
Reuse a Pre-Loaded Template
When you pre-load a scheme or common UI elements, you reduce the amount of work required during runtime and improve performance efficiency.
Reduce Unused Features.
Having too many features can lead to slowing down your app! Use only essential functionality and reduce your app’s design to save on design and resource usage.
Enable an Offline Mode
Give users access to content, and complete actions on and off the internet. Adding offline functionality to your app decreases not only reliance on network speed, but it also increases perceived performance to your users.
Test on Different Devices
You will want to multi-test your app on many different devices of various screen sizes and valid operating systems to determine consistent performance. Not only will this detect device specific issues before they reach your users, but it will also help you eliminate those costly and annoying “my device isn’t supported” calls.
Monitor Crashes
Continue to monitor app crashes and reports on errors regularly. Use your analytics platform to identify and resolve root causes so your app experience is optimal for all devices.

At Niotechone, we implement these tactics with our mobile app performance solutions, which enable us to deliver fast and reliable apps with the best user experience or UX possible.

Additional Capabilities and Advances of UXCam for Product Teams

At Niotechone, we utilize mobile app performance solutions such as UXCam to assist product teams based on actionable insights, to enhance user experience (UX). Here are the key features, and outcomes:

Heatmap Analytics
UXCam’s heatmap analytics show you exactly how the user interacts with the application in real-time. The heatmap insights will help you identify the largest bottlenecks causing the mobile app performance issues. Detect unobtrusive taps and UI mechanics to enhance the app experience before users churn out.
Experience Analytics
UXCam exposes UX patterns throughout your application, visually through heatmaps. These insights allow product teams to take data-backed decisions to improve navigation, streamline interactions, and overall engagement.
Funnel Analysis
Track multi-step user journeys through funnel analytics. The funnel will measure conversion rates across user segments and help with drop-off detection on each step of the user flow to optimize mobile app performance.
Event Analytics
Understand the complete context of in-app events through event analytics dashboards. Focus on significant app actions, build complex graphs, and develop visual reports of important performance metrics that teams can utilize to optimize features and functionality.

KPI Dashboards
Track important KPI metrics such as crash rates, load times, and retention in one place. UXCam’s dashboards bring clarity to your mobile app’s performance – helping teams proactively make the user experience (UX) better.

By integrating UXCam into the bigger mobile app performance picture, Niotechone helps product teams to continuously optimize apps, deliver seamless user experiences, and retain users.

Suggested Mobile Application Performance Metrics to Measure

To successfully assess mobile application performance, a number of key metrics will measure many different aspects of the application performance as it relates to user experience and functionality. At Niotechone, we support mobile application performance solutions and assist product teams in measuring key KPIs to improve the user experience and help companies grow. These metrics broadly fit into four categories:

1. Overall Mobile Application KPIs

Key metrics which are fundamental to the KPIs so we can track how well our app is being adopted, and how it is being used overall, which is helpful to determine the app functionality:

Total downloads and installs, uninstalls
User retention rate (stickiness)
Total registrations and subscription activity
The number of app crashes

This set of general KPIs offers the ground zero for understanding how the app is performing and acts as great indicators of user experience (UX) for the application. Often these general KPIs will also help uncover large issues which could be affecting the end-user experience.

2. Application Engagement Metrics

Engagement metrics help give insights into user engagement activities with the app, in this case,

Daily/Monthly Active Users – (DAU/MAU)
No of sessions & average session length
Session depth (or interaction) – user churn

Using app engagement metrics to provide input into allowing teams to determine what features work best for the user and identify areas of dysfunctional navigation or usability improving the overall user experience.

3. Revenue-Focused Mobile KPIs

Financial performance is a pivotal component of mobile app success. Tracking revenue-focused mobile KPIs enables businesses to evaluate their ROI and the effectiveness of their monetization strategies, like:

Number of in-app purchases
Revenue
Customer acquisition cost (CAC)
Customer lifetime value (CLV)

Calculating these numbers and sharpening your mobile app performance strategy will give businesses the ability to determine the overall profitability and effectiveness of their mobile app performance strategy, and ultimately determine which growth initiatives to invest in.

4. User Experience KPIs

User experience (UX) is a significant contributor to whether a user retains your app or deletes it from their phone. Tracking and monitoring all of the UX-focused KPIs, like:

Device type and OS
App load time and API latency
Network carrier latency
In-app response time

The best product teams aim to continuously capture and monitor UX KPIs to proactively enhance load speeds, app stability, as well as bettering user experience and satisfaction.

At Niotechone, we leverage UXCam within our mobile app performance solutions to monitor over 50 of the most important KPIs, enabling product teams to capitalize on the direction they are heading from the perspective of performance, minimizing churn, and building amazing user experiences.
