Apple  AAPL +0.23% iOS 10.3 is here and I’ll be writing my usual upgrade guide soon, but - following some confusion from users who have already upgraded - it’s important to tell you about one important part of the update which is giving users a nasty surprise...

‘Great Secret Features’ and ‘Nasty Surprises’ are my regular columns investigating operating system updates for the best features / biggest problems hidden behind the headlines.

Apple iOS 10.3 is finally here.

As AppleInsider confirms: upgrading to iOS 10.3 is unusually slow. The update itself is only around 600MB (relatively small when major releases are several gigabytes) but installation times can be excruciating. In fact AppleInsider says still-sprightly devices like the Apple iPad Air 2 are taking around 50 minutes, so iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C owners might as well go watch a movie and come back.

The good news is patience is all that’s required, but when install times are this slow it means the progress bar can appear stationary. As AppleInsider reports, Apple Support is recommending users don’t panic and forcibly halt the upgrade thinking it has crashed. This can cause damage and it will be entirely self inflicted. 

Why iOS 10.3 Installs So Slowly

The good news is there is a reason why you’ll be giving up a sizeable chunk of your time while iOS 10.3 installs on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: it introduces an entirely new file system.

Apple 10.3 is not one of the largest updates, but it is one of the slowest to install.

Simply called ‘Apple File System’ (APFS), it replaces the ageing HFS+ (launched in 1998 and based on HFS launched in 1985!) and will roll out across macOS, watchOS and tvOS as well. Aside from under the hood benefits like SSD optimisation, improved backups and cross platform full disk and individual file encryption, end users will also find APFS can free up storage space.

Notably, Forbes’ own Brad Moon found iOS 10.3 freed nearly 2GB on his 32GB iPhone 7. Apple has a detailed PDF on APFS for those looking for (very) detailed information.

As such, while iOS 10.3 may appear to lock up your device on upgrade and have you reaching for the panic button, the reality is if you wait this one out your patience will be rewarded. Eventually.

Following is our list of the top 10:

#1 Mobile Apps Offer Better Personalization

Personalization is about offering tailored communication to users based on their interests, location, usage behavior, and more.

Personalization is critical in making a mobile User Experience delightful. 

With mobile apps, it’s easy to treat users with a personalized experience.

Mobile apps can let users set up their preferences at the start, based on which users can be served with customized content. Apps can also track and observe user engagement, and use it to offer custom recommendations and updates to the users. Furthermore, they can also identify location of the users in real-time to provide geography-specific content.

However, improving user experience is not the only purpose that personalization serves. It can also help improve conversion rate of apps:

When users are pampered with personalized content, they have a higher chance of making a conversion.

#2 Ease of Sending Notifications

For the last couple of decades, email has been the most widely-used business communication tool. Businesses have extensively used email (some almost abused it) to reach out to their users. As a result, email has lost the effectiveness it once had; its open rates and click rates have constantly dropped.

Well, there’s no reason to worry.

Enter mobile app notifications.

The notifications are of two types: push and in-app notifications. They both are exciting alternatives for communicating with app users in a less intrusive manner.

The ability to send instant, non-intrusive notifications to users is so desired that it is one of the major reasons why many businesses want to have a mobile app in the first place.

In-app notifications are the notifications which users can only receive when they have opened an app.

Push notifications, on the other hand, are those notifications which users can receive regardless of any activity they are doing on their mobile device. There have been instances where the push medium of notifications has delivered click-through rates of 40%.

It goes without saying that you have to plan your notification campaigns judiciously. Here is a list of best practices to help you get started.

Add-on: There are third party services that provide push notifications services to mobile websites, too. However, these services are in a nascent stage and still have some limitations (some only work on specific browsers, and are not available for all website types). Still, businesses, unaffected with the limitations, can consider using these services on their mobile websites.

PushCrew, for example, is one of the new service providers that let websites send push notifications to desktops and mobiles.

#3 Making Use of Mobile Device Features

Mobile apps have the advantage of utilizing features of a mobile device like camera, contact list, GPS, phone calls, accelerometer, compass, etc.

Such device features, when used within an app, can make the user experience interactive and fun.

Moreover, these features can also reduce the efforts users would have to make otherwise. For instance, users completing a form on a banking app might need to submit their photograph for completion of the process. The app can let users take help of the camera of their mobile device to capture and submit a photograph.

Apps can utilize native features of mobile devices to enhance User Experience. 

The device features can significantly shorten the time users take to perform a certain task in an app, and can even boost conversions.

Add-on: Mobile websites can also use some features of a mobile device like camera, GPS, etc. Still, there are technological constraints in utilizing all the multimedia features of a device (which mobile apps can use).

#4 Ability to Work Offline

It is probably the most fundamental difference between a mobile website and an app.

Although apps too might require internet connectivity to perform most of their tasks, they can still offer basic content and functionality to users in offline mode.

The beauty of mobile apps lies in their ability to work even in offline mode. 

Let’s take the example of banking app again.

The app can provide features like tax calculation, installment calculation, and determination of loan limit. These features can work even without the help of an internet connection.

Add-on: Even though mobile websites can use caching to load web pages without an internet connection, they can only offer limited functions.

#5 Freedom in Designing

Even with all the technological advancements in web designing, mobile websites have to rely a lot on browsers to perform even the most elementary functions. Mobile websites depend on browser features like ‘back button,’ ‘refresh button,’ and ‘address bar’ to work.

Mobile Apps don’t have any of these restrictions.

A mobile app can be designed with a lot of elaborate functions, based on advanced gestures like ‘tap,’ ‘swipe,’ ‘drag,’ ‘pinch,’ ‘hold,’ and more.

Source

Apps can use these gestures to offer innovative functionality that can help users perform a task better. For example, an app can let users move to a next or previous step using the swipe gesture.

#6 New Branding Experience

Since a mobile app is distinct from a company’s website, it has the liberty of offering a new branding experience to users. It means that the company can experiment with new branding styles for the app, which can be different from the regular brand style of the company’s website (or the company altogether).

Going a step further, companies can build mobile apps specifically to transition into a new brand style for themselves.

Mobile apps can be used to create a distinguished brand for your product/service. 

Additionally, a mobile app can also allow users to customize its appearance, as per users’ liking. This can further help in the personalization front of the app.

Add-on: The concept of microsites work on similar lines. Microsites offer a distinct brand experience to users, as compared to their parent sites. They are often used to promote a sub-brand, an event, or a newly-launched service.

#7 Users Spend More Time on Apps

Mobile users spend 86% of their time on mobile apps and just 14% of the time on mobile websites.

Moreover, the average time users spend on mobile apps is also increasing — rising by 21% in 2015 from 2014.

Note: A point to consider here is that users spend a majority of their time on gaming apps and social media apps.

However, we also don’t have data telling us which mobile websites users visit more often (out of the 14% of their time mentioned above). Hence, it’s not possible to make a comparison.

#8 New Stream of Conversions

If you’re looking to increase conversions, mobile apps can be a great medium to push users down the conversion funnel.

Mobile apps can be used to acquire both top-of-the-funnel (ToFu) and bottom-of-the-funnel (BoFu) users.

For instance, utility apps can bring-in ToFu users, which can be later nurtured into BoFu leads. On the other hand, apps like eCommerce already have BOTF users, who have a higher possibility of converting.

Add-on: Since mobile apps are much more targeted in nature (through their content and utility), they can be used to tap specific users in the funnel. Mobile websites, in contrast, reach out to a diverse set of audience.

#9 Brand Presence

Users spend a substantial amount of their time on mobile devices. It’s safe to say that many of the users encounter the apps they’ve installed on their devices, almost every day. This regular encounter can be viewed as a branding opportunity for the apps.

Even when users are not actively using a mobile app, they are still reminded of the brand associated with the app. The icon of the app acts like a mini-advertisement for the brand.

Mobile app icons can work like innovative ad-banners. 

The presence of an app on a user’s device helps influence user’s perception about a brand, subconsciously.

This user behaviour can be linked to the Signal Detection Theory, which suggests that users process even those ads which they’ve ignored at some level in their minds.

#10 Apps Can Work Faster Than Websites

A well-designed mobile app can perform actions much quicker than a mobile website.

Apps usually store their data locally on mobile devices, in contrast to websites that generally use web servers. For this reason, data retrieval happens swiftly in mobile apps.

Apps can further save users’ time by storing their preferences, and using them to take proactive actions on users’ behalf.

10 Best Android Apps for Business

1. Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) - Free

For the sake of this list, we’re grouping together Microsoft’s mobile Office apps – which include downsized versions of Word, PowerPoint and Excel,. The free apps – which run equally well on Android smartphone and tablets – are almost as good as their desktop counterparts. But these apps are optimized for touchscreen devices, with big, easy-to-tap buttons. They also integrate with Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage platform, which ensures your documents are backed up and synced across all your devices.

2. Google Docs, Sheets and Slides (Free) 

The best productivity suite for Android smartphones is still Google's own collection. The apps include word processor Docs, spreadsheet editor Sheets, and presentation maker Slides. Google's apps have more features and a cleaner, more attractive interface than competing office apps on the platform. They also offer better tools to insert tables, images, charts and other complex elements into your documents, and they're compatible with Microsoft Office files, so you can seamlessly transition between your desktop computer and your mobile device. And since you can edit offline now, you never have to worry about losing service.

3. Google Drive (Free)

There are quite a few solid cloud-storage options available for Android, but Google Drive  is our top pick, because this service comes built right into the operating system. Like similar services — Dropbox, Box and OneDrive, to name a few — Google Drive lets you store files and documents online, so they're backed up and accessible from anywhere on any Android device with an Internet connection. As a bonus, Google Drive is integrated with QuickOffice; just sign in with your Google account credentials to get access to all documents stored in the cloud. Plus, every edit you make in QuickOffice is automatically backed up to Google Drive.

4. Microsoft Remote Desktop (Free)

For small business owners, Microsoft's Remote Desktop app is a reliable – and secure – way to connect remotely to your work PC from your Android phone or tablet. It's also a simple way to use your Windows applications on the go. For example, you can take advantage of the full desktop versions of Microsoft Word or Excel right from your smartphone or tablet to view and edit documents from anywhere.

5. OneNote (Free)

Microsoft's OneNote has a few advantages over competing note-taking apps. For starters, we prefer its easy-to-use interface; Evernote may have more in-depth features, but it's not as user-friendly as OneNote. Plus, OneNote automatically syncs all your notes to OneDrive, so they're backed up and accessible via the cloud. We like the OneNote integration because it works with your existing Microsoft account, so there's no need to create and maintain another account. OneNote works best with a stylus-equipped device, such as those in Samsung's Galaxy Note line, so you can draw diagrams and write notes by hand. The app can even transcribe handwritten notes so they're searchable later on.

6. QuickBooks for Android (Free with Quickbooks desktop subscription, starting at $12.95)

QuickBooks offers solid accounting tools to help you track and manage your finances. The Android app isn't a fully-featured, mobile version of the QuickBooks desktop application; think of it as a mobile companion app with useful tools to help you track sales, send out invoices and review recent payments when you’re away from the office. It requires a QuickBooks subscription, but a free 30-day trial is available.

7. Square Register (Free)

No business is too small to accept credit cards, and you don't need a lot of special equipment to do it. Once you download the Square Register app, you can sign up to receive a credit card reader dongle free in the mail. Just plug the dongle into the headphone jack on your iPhone, and swipe a credit card to start processing payments on the go. The app also allows you to enter credit card information manually. Square takes a cut of every payment, but face it: If your business doesn't accept credit cards, you are losing out on business.

8. AirDroid (Free)

Checking your smartphone for messages from clients or employees can break your concentration and make your productivity plummet. That’s where AirDroid comes in. Just install the app on your Android smartphone, then install the desktop client on your computer to read and send texts and view call logs on the big screen you’re already focused on. The app also makes it easy to quickly add or remove files from your phone’s internal storage.

9. Skype (Free)

If you need a solid video conferencing app to meet remotely with employees or clients, it's hard to beat the service that's synonymous with video chat. The Skype app for Android lets you make video calls using the front-facing camera on your handset. The platform is flexible, so you can connect with users on nearly any device. And if you're away from the office, it can virtually drop you into a staff meeting.

10. aCalendar (Free)

Our favorite overall calendar app for business users on the Android platform is the innocuously named aCalendar. Simply put, the app strikes the best balance between ease of use and powerful features. It hits all the basics, making it easy to toggle between day, week, month and year views. Plus, setting reminders for important engagements is a snap. On top of that, aCalendar has a bunch of business-specific features, like the option to schedule a meeting and invite attendees without leaving the app.
