As consumers, we all expect absolute convenience when using mobile apps — fast loading, no glitches, easy-to-understand interface. This magic doesn’t just happen, it is the daily work of a support team that monitors the app’s behavior and promptly fixes arising issues. Also, by its nature, a mobile app is a very dynamic and ever-evolving type of software. To stay competitive and loved by users, it requires UX and UI improvements and frequent updates with new features. So, support activities often go beyond monitoring and fixing to continuous app development. ScienceSoft readily supports both faces of the service.
