3 Features You must Include in Your Android Application

Android is by far the most widely used operating system available in the public domain. According to an estimate, there are about 1.4 billion Android users in the world. That means if you have decided to contact an Android app development company to help you develop an android app for your idea, then you are on the right track. But just developing an app for this app store doesn’t mean you will capture a considerable user base. Data shows that there are about 2.1 million applications on play store, which explains why developers say it's tough to rank good on the play store. Which only leaves us with the option of introducing the features that could help our app stand out from others.

Keeping that in mind, let us have a look at 3 features that you should ask your Android app development company to include in your app in the very early stage of app development.

1. Option for Registering through Different Social Accounts

This is where things start from and go official. This is the point of contact between you and your users, and a massive opportunity to help you inform your users about the seamless experience that they should expect in future while using your app. Other than providing the options for manually filling out a bio form, you should also provide an option to help your new users register from any of their social media account or email. Providing the option of sign up through Facebook, Twitter, G+, Linkedin, etc. is the best way to ensure that your users do not go through any hassle in the very beginning. User bio can be filled once people have logged in.

2. Multi-language Support

Once your users have signed-in, they sure would be looking for a language that’s easier to understand. English is an indispensable part of language support, but putting in some other national languages can help your cause too. You can ask your Android app development company to include Mandarin, Spanish, Hindi, French, etc. to attract more and more Android users. But if you are planning to launch your app in a particular country alone, then there is no point in spending your resources unnecessarily on multi-language support.

3. Payment Gateway Integration

If you are into e-commerce or ask for a membership fee for unrestricted usage of your app, then giving a secure payment gateway in your app is a must. Instead of redirecting your users to another web page- as the process might look fishy- you should allow them to pay their dues through a number of payment options, like a credit card, debit cards, and mobile wallets. To win the trust, display trust badges-marks of trusted internet security brands- to instill a sense that nothing could go wrong during or after the online payment process. Once the payment gateway is in place, don’t forget to incorporate SMS and email service that sends payment confirmation messages to your users regarding the success of transaction.
