Going into 2025, developing an app is likely a critical business initiative for your growing business  📈 A quick tip: Understanding the fundamentals and importance of app navigation and user interface (UI) is a good place to start. Whether you’re creating an app for retail, finance, or healthcare, solid app navigation is key to delivering a seamless user journey — and truly differentiating from a website-only experience. But what *exactly* can a good app UI do for your users, and your business?: 🔁 Encourages conversions and repeat visits: Intuitive navigation helps users find what they need quickly, leading to increased conversions. It also promotes repeat visits as users enjoy using an app that is easy to navigate and delivers a positive experience. 🚪 Reduces abandonments: Complex or confusing navigation can frustrate users and lead to app abandonment. By providing clear and straightforward navigation, you can minimize the chances of users leaving the app out of frustration. ✅ Enhances accessibility: Good app navigation ensures that all users, including those with different accessibility needs, can easily access and navigate the app. This promotes inclusivity and widens your user base. 🤝 Builds trust and credibility: A well-designed UI with intuitive navigation instills confidence in users, making them more likely to trust your app and continue using it over time.

In a recent Median.co poll, nearly all respondents identified a lack of technical knowledge as the main reason their business still had ‘Deliver an app’ on their to-do list. Median customers know first-hand that this common challenge is solved with our “Apps made easier” approach. Our powerful app development platform (The Median App Studio) ensures customers can deliver high-quality apps quickly, seamlessly, and at scale — all without having to write endless code. Recent G2 reviews by amazing Median customers say it best: 📲 “The ability to quickly generate an app that works across both iOS and Android devices, without writing a single line of code, is a game changer." 💻 “The solution [Median] offers, the ability to make a native app using your website build, and to integrate it with all of these native features, is remarkable. This makes it so that many people who simply don't have the resources to build their own native app suddenly can.” 🤝 “Median made having an App that is downloadable in the app stores possible. Without it, we would have invested significant dollars in building apps from scratch that didn't have functionality on par with our website version. When we tell clients that our apps have the same functionality as our website, they are ecstatic about this. We are proud to call Median a partner.” Read more G2 reviews here: https://lnkd.in/ezup3zcm Or, build your own app today: https://median.co/app

Security alert 🔒 Jailbreaking (iOS) and rooting (Android) devices enables users to bypass important security restrictions which can compromise the security posture of your app. Industries handling particularly sensitive user data (like healthcare and banking) should be especially aware of the security risks involved with apps being operated on compromised devices. Some of these include data breaches, piracy, intellectual property theft, and inconsistent branding. Want to avoid these risks? That’s easy — integrate Median’s Jailbreak/Root Detection native plugin into your app. It allows app developers to reduce risk by detecting whether a device is jailbroken/rooted, and more. Learn more about the benefits of this plugin and how to integrate it into your app in our latest breakdown via sidebar Magazine. https://lnkd.in/eptfgmqP

Does your business rely on developing apps at scale for multiple customers, each of whom have distinct branding? 📲 Then you've probably heard of businesses having 'white label' apps. These are usually built by 3rd-party app developers, but reflect the brand logos, colors, and integrity of the businesses for whom the app was created. With an app development platform like Median, you can easily launch multiple branded apps faster, and at a much lower cost than other app development options — unlocking your ability to focus on other pressing goals. Read more to learn about white label apps, their pros and cons, and how you can use Median to build your very own. https://lnkd.in/ePSp3Suf
