Earlier today Google Maps announced a new redesign for the app on Android and iPhone. New updates will begin rolling out now. It also feature a new logo for the app itself. Users will get new upgrades for public transit and augmented reality in March as per various reports.
A key Insight for e-commerce websites is that users spend around 200 minutes per month shopping on the app while only 11 minutes shopping on the website.
Thereby, a major chunk of the smartphone usage time consists of using apps.
During the designing stage, you need to identify the unique selling proposition that you have.
Focus on engineering a mobile app design that lasts.
With the advent of technologies like IoT, AI and ML the personalization experience in apps is expected to be more intense and gratifying and helps to build improved customer experience.
According to this research, 93% of respondents said that they were somewhat likely to give feedback if the company explicitly asked for one and a more interesting fact is that 97% of respondents said that they were more likely to become company’s loyal customers if they knew that their feedback was implemented.
This week the folks at Google responsible for the newest magical features in Google Maps expand availability of Live View.
This is an augmented reality feature that, until now, was only available for testing by Google insiders, Local Guides, and the Pixel community.
EDIT: Again, yes, this is opening to more Android devices at the same time as iOS.
The title I’ve written above reflects the fact that, before now, the system was relegated to Android devices alone, within the Pixel community.
If a Google feature expands to iOS, chances are it will, by default, already be on Android devices – or at least that’s how it SHOULD be, shouldn’t it?
I should make clear, here, that the Live View system is still in Beta mode.
Google’s Android game is getting bigger and better each day.
The scope of development with ARCore with a perfect blend of Android technology is immensely great.
Although Google has some plans to include the technique in other mobile app development domains too, but it is under the research for now.
Google has succeeded in bringing a glimpse of the similar Android Technology under its flagship pixel phones running on Oreo.
Google’s head (Clay Bavor) managing AR and VR projects for the search giant quoted, “Our goal for this is to take AR mainstream.
We have believed for years that mobile-based AR was going to be a thing.” ARCore will probably be in preview mode until winter”, he added further.
