Mobile Best Practices: How to Improve Your App Health
Blog post from Luciq
In today's competitive app market, characterized by over 4.5 million apps available on the Google Play Store and App Store, ensuring app health is crucial for retaining users who are quick to abandon apps experiencing crashes or bugs. App health, which encompasses an app's stability, UI/UX, and overall performance, is not easily quantifiable from the outside but can be monitored through specific metrics. Developers can enhance app health by tracking and optimizing these metrics, focusing on bugs, performance, and crashes. Effective bug tracking involves efficient reporting and resolution processes, while application performance monitoring (APM) tools help maintain optimal performance by assessing both user experience and computational resource usage. Stability, indicated by the frequency of crashes, is critical, and utilizing crash reporting tools allows developers to identify and address issues swiftly, preventing user dissatisfaction and maximizing app viability.
