This shows how important mobile apps have become and how much popular they are with the people.

However, with the changing times, people are now expecting more from their mobile apps, here are some of the trends that are going to rule in 2019.
Native app development over Hybrid app development
For quite some time there has been a debate whether developing a native app is better over a hybrid app, but recently app developers are now moving towards native app development. The main reason for this is the emergence of native only features in mobile phones which need special coding. Hybrid app development, on the other hand, has a relatively low technical entry point and is getting very difficult to maintain over time. Also, fixing bugs with hybrid apps tends to be a little more difficult as sometimes finding the bugs itself is a tough task.
With native mobile apps, however, things are quite different. You can easily ensure that the app is well developed using APIs and the platforms core programming language. This results in apps which are faster, more responsive and have exceptional performance as against hybrid apps.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are showing a lot of promise
Pokemon Go was the first time Augmented Reality was put forth to the world. Now many companies and mobile app developers are developing apps for a variety of industries to help people use AR and VR in the best way possible. For the future, it is estimated that the market for AR and VR based apps will balloon to $200 billion by 2020, seeing the current pace of development that is going on in these technologies.
Greater investment in cloud integration
Saving data to the cloud has been around for quite some time now. Mobile apps are now being made for existing ERP systems where people can now store data from their phones directly to the cloud. This is extremely convenient for everybody involved and is many times more cheaper than other means of data storage. With the passage of time, there will be more and more apps that will ensure all data is stored online on the cloud.
