Mobile Application Growth Patterns


Mobile application usage is a clear indication of what's in store for companies that decide to shift towards a mobile-centric approach. Here's more:

Mobile apps are here to stay. In fact, they have created a separate business model of their own: something that is generating tens of millions of revenue for developers, investors and startups involved in the scene.
