Question: Why are applications more than websites, specially e-commerce applications?

Answer: Mobile applications, especially mobile applications for electronic stores (e-commerce apps), have become widespread around the world and are constantly increasing more than the websites according to Google statistics. In 2014, the percentage of mobile applications used for electronic stores was 12% in the United States, These rates are unprecedented to reach more than 45% in the world.

This increase and growth in the use of mobile applications have led to the interest of many brands in making applications on mobile to take advantage of this terrible development and exploit the ease of dealing and browsing through it, as it is the easiest way to buy from the Internet.

For this reason, Clutch - B2B Research & Reviews conducted a survey of users of e-commerce apps about the features they want in these applications to download them and the consensus was (easy to use).

Flexibility:

65% of consumers pointed out that the main reason for using e-commerce applications is the ability to buy products at any time during the day.

Comparison:

More than 62% of the respondents said that the ability to compare products and prices more easily on their mobile phones was the main reason for downloading e-commerce applications.

Time-saving:

The use of e-commerce applications saves time in purchases rather than in electronic stores. Some 55% of respondents agreed that e-commerce applications provide them with time, but they do not include the quality of the product unless it is a global and credible company. As example Starbucks has 13 million active members and 27% of its customers pay for purchases through their mobile applications, so they trust on quality of them.
