Introduction

User experience is imperative for modern mobile applications. At Indexnine, we have built over 15+ applications, supporting our customers through multiple iterations of the development and release lifecycle. We have learned many valuable lessons during this time. This blog outlines all the pieces you should have in place to be a successful mobile application product.

Once you release a mobile application, it becomes important to understand how your users are interacting with the app, what frustrates them, and what could be improved to keep your users coming back. To enable this feedback loop, many tools exist. This blog will cover tools and tips to enable capturing and acting on data collected from your users.

2. Analyzing Marketing Campaigns

We’ll delve into the realm of examining marketing campaigns and the platforms that enable an understanding of their performance. Firebase, Facebook, AppFlyer, and Branch are among the platforms we will focus on as we dissect how effective marketing strategies impact success.
