AppGallery named ‘Best Alternative App Store of the Year https://techeconomy.ng/appgallery-named-best-alternative-app-store-of-the-year/ https://techeconomy.ng/appgallery-named-best-alternative-app-store-of-the-year/#respond Tue, 25 Apr 2023 13:49:40 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=100564
  • The third largest app marketplace in the world will continue to empower consumers with more choice and drive innovation for developers and partners
  • AppGallery has won ‘Best Alternative App Store of the Year’ at the Mobile Games Awards (MGA) 2023 at an industry gala event held at BAFTA in London.

    A prestigious recognition that celebrates the very best in mobile, this award is an acknowledgement of AppGallery’s commitment to users and developers.

    Not only is it an avenue where users can easily download the apps and games they need, it is a smart ecosystem where developers can drive innovative app experiences.

    Since its launch in 2018, AppGallery has seen an uninterrupted growth, firmly establishing itself as one of the world’s top three app marketplaces. Serving over 580 million monthly active users – a 10% increase outside of China in the past 12 months – AppGallery continues to offer a wide range of popular global games and local apps that make life more convenient for users.

    “As countries all over the world highlight the importance of Alternative App Stores for a healthier Mobile Market, we are immensely proud and honoured to win this award. This is a critical milestone in the recognition of our dedication to our partners and users. The growth and success of AppGallery is largely due to the trust and strong support they have in us, even from our very humble beginnings. We will continue to work tirelessly to be that go-to Mobile App and Games marketplace across all Android phones, and hopefully all phones in the near future, for the best user experience and the platform that helps developers reach their maximum potential,” said Jaime Gonzalo, VP Huawei Mobile Services Europe.

    User satisfaction is top priority for AppGallery

    AppGallery constantly works on collaborations with the world’s top brands and gaming developers. This is to ensure that consumers are given unique and smart experiences and have access to some of the most sought-after mobile games.

    To make it even more enticing for gamers, AppGallery regularly runs seasonal campaigns offering exclusive promotions.

    They include discounts with app downloads, rebates on in-app purchases and even exclusive gift packs and bonuses that help them stay ahead in the game they are playing.

    AppGallery also runs yearly Game Fest campaigns to encourage users to explore new ways to play on the platform with a series of exclusive benefits.

    Gamers will be spoilt for choice on AppGallery. The availability of in-demand games supported by generous user deals demonstrates the platform’s capacity to cater to the diverse preferences of gamers in the European region. Apart from games, AppGallery consists of applications across 18 categories including news, social media, finance, entertainment and more. This means that all aspects of a users’ digital life will be met.

    In fact, AppGallery has seen an increased interest among other Android users. Just last year alone, the app store saw a notable uplift in non-Huawei Android gamers among this group. Thanks to the inclusive nature of the platform, non-Huawei users can easily gain access to AppGallery. First, they need to download and install AppGallery from its website. Next, install HMS Core – AppGallery will not work without it, and finally create a Huawei ID for downloading apps and games.

    Unwavering full-stack support for developers through collaborative partnerships

    AppGallery places a rich array of tools, capabilities and other resources at developers’ disposal, allowing more than 6 million Huawei-registered developers to grow their business in new and unprecedented ways. With strong interconnected integration and HMS Core capabilities available, as well as a dedicated technical support team, developers can unleash the full power of innovation.

    AppGallery also provides a favourable revenue-sharing model and abundant marketing resources to accelerate commercial monetisation of global developers. 

    According to Business of Apps, 79% of game apps use IAP for monetisation and IAP accounts for 48.2% of mobile app earnings. This is why the IAP revenue sharing proportion provided by Huawei for developers is higher than the industry average, thereby benefiting developers in the long run.

    AppGallery aims to continue providing users with a wide availability of apps and not limit accessibility base on ecosystems.

    By staying open and transparent, the platform will continue to protect the interest of users and build strong and collaborative partnerships with developers to ensure the flourishing development of the ecosystem.

    Tech Companies are Increasingly Helping App Developers Scale https://techeconomy.ng/tech-companies-are-increasingly-helping-app-developers-scale/ https://techeconomy.ng/tech-companies-are-increasingly-helping-app-developers-scale/#respond Wed, 19 Apr 2023 06:51:29 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=100128
  • Also to create and innovate
  • World Creativity and Innovation Day is celebrated every year on the 21st of April. This day is dedicated to encouraging people, businesses, and even big organisations to think creatively, come up with new approaches to challenges and improve the world around them.

    With the technology industry constantly evolving at an incredibly fast pace, it is one of the areas in which innovations and creativity are refined and polished. New technologies, platforms, programming, frameworks and tools are always emerging and keeping up with these changes which requires continuous learning and adaptation.

    If you’re an app developer, navigating these complexities requires extensive expertise, resources and a holistic understanding of the various dimensions of the industry.

    Apps UP - Huawei weighs in some of their learnings of working with African app developers
    APP DEVELOPERS: Portrait of African American coder sitting down writing programming language on laptop looking up and smiling at camera.

    Here are three steps you should consider: 

    1. Identify the challenges and possible solutions

    Developing an app can be a daunting task for small businesses because of the numerous complex procedures required.

    Some of the common challenges include having limited resources, especially when it comes to budget and capacity.

    As a result, developing an app will require a significant investment of time and money, which may not be feasible for many.

    Businesses will also need technical expertise in various areas, such as coding, UX/UI design and app architecture. If you are just starting out and building your first app, you may not have in-house experts and will need to outsource work to third-party developers which can be costly.

    When it comes to compatibility, it’s imperative for apps to be well-suited for different devices, operating systems and screen sizes. Ensuring compatibility across all platforms can be difficult and requires additional development work. Similarly, security is a critical aspect of app development which you may not have the resources or expertise to ensure that your app is secure from potential threats.

    With the app market being highly competitive, small businesses are also often finding it tough to stand out among the thousands of apps available. Therefore, it’s critical that entrepreneurs carefully consider what it is that they may be facing and find solutions to the problems.

    To start with, you can seek support by partnering with tech experts and experienced app developers to leverage app development tools and platforms.

    2. Find a suitable tech company to partner with

    Huawei, like other technology companies, invests heavily in research and development to close the technology gap in Africa. The company has a strong focus on innovation and has made significant advancements in supporting and nurturing the development of new technologies and innovations.

    Small businesses have for years benefited from the Huawei Developer Program (HDP).  This division includes an ecosystem of tools, resources and support that is designed to help developers build, distribute, optimise and monetise their applications on Huawei devices.

    Through these platforms, developers can access a range of services, including development kits, technical support, marketing support and funding opportunities to grow and scale their businesses.

    Huawei is also committed to promoting open innovation and collaboration with other tech developers. Huawei has established several OpenLabs around the world, which are collaborative spaces where developers can work together to develop new technologies and solutions.

    3. Place your app on the market

    AppGallery is Huawei’s official app distribution platform, which provides a great way for developers to reach a large audience of over 9 million device users.

    By publishing your app on AppGallery, you can make it easy for device users to discover and download your app. With a global presence and availability in over 170 countries, AppGallery is especially beneficial if you are looking to expand your app’s reach beyond your local market and tap into new international markets.

    Enhanced App Promotion are also guaranteed, as Huawei provides various promotional tools and resources to help you market your app on AppGallery. This includes featured placements, promotional campaigns and marketing support which can help maximise the visibility and impact of your app on the app market and drive downloads and engagement.

    With security and privacy measures being key to the user experience, you’re going to want an app market that has extensive protection.

    Huawei has a comprehensive four-layer security detection mechanism to scan apps for potential security risks before they are published on AppGallery, which helps create a safe and trusted environment for app users.

    Cultivating creativity and innovation is a lifelong journey that requires continuous effort and practice. Visit Huawei Mobile Services to find out how you can better advance your app, that is of value to users.

    Beyond the Adrenalin: Why People Love Gaming! https://techeconomy.ng/beyond-the-adrenalin-why-people-love-gaming/ https://techeconomy.ng/beyond-the-adrenalin-why-people-love-gaming/#respond Tue, 28 Feb 2023 09:06:42 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=96774 In Sub-Saharan Africa, the number of gamers has more than doubled in the last five years to top 186 million people.

    With 95% of those gamers relying on a smartphone or tablet to get the adrenaline pumping with the latest titles, it’s hardly surprising that the industry is growing at such a rapid rate.

    Of course, people play mobile games for a variety of reasons. There’s the convenience factor, a mobile game can be played anywhere and anytime. It’s also a great way to pass the time, whether you’re waiting for an appointment, commuting or simply need a quick break from the daily grind, mobile gaming provides a wonderful diversion.

    Some titles are designed to be relaxing and stress-free. Others, like multi-player games, provide a social component. These players connect and play with friends or other players from all over the world.

    There is the competitive aspect to consider as well. Many mobile games offer competitions, giving players the chance to test their skills against others and see who comes out on top with Esports tournaments held both locally and abroad where big prizes can be won.

    Connect and compete with friends through gaming

    PUBG Mobile is a case in point. One of the most popular multiplayer games of all time, PUBG delivers intense free-to-play action, drop in, gear up and compete.

    Survive epic 100-player classic battles, payload mode and fast-paced 4v4 team death-match and zombie modes. Survival is key and the last one standing wins. No wonder this game is played in Esports competitions around the globe.

    Give your cognitive skills a boost 

    Mobile gaming can have a massive positive impact on our behaviour. For one, it can improve our cognitive functions.

    Certain mobile games, such as puzzle and strategy games, can challenge the player’s mind and improve skills like problem-solving, memory and decision making. Take Puzzles & Survival as an example.

    With more than 30 million downloads worldwide, this strategy title sees gamers solve puzzles to kill zombies. There’re any number of strategies that can be employed by combining tactical know-how with a title that offers a lot, even for the casual gamer.

    Gaming for Stress Relief 

    Another benefit is stress relief. Mobile gaming can be a form of escapism, allowing players to relax and take their minds off worries and responsibilities. This can lead to reduced stress levels and improved overall mood. 

    Gardenscapes is a wonderful example of this. Gamers solve puzzles to restore a wonderful garden to its former glory! They get to embark on a fun journey to restore and decorate different areas in the garden, get to the bottom of the secrets it holds and enjoy the company of amusing in-game characters.

    Give your self-confidence a boost 

    Additionally, mobile gaming can provide a sense of accomplishment and boost self-esteem. Completing levels and achieving high scores in games can give players a sense of pride and satisfaction, which can improve their confidence and overall well-being. 

    Klondike Adventures delivers all this and more. Gamers get to build a flourishing city with factories and farms, mine for resources and craft everything they need for travels, quests, new buildings and orders from the locals dropping by their town.

    Gamers can also compete with neighbouring farm owners and take as many craft and farm orders as they can during the timed events held among all the players.

    So, if you’re keen to take on the mobile gaming life and capitalise on all these benefits, head over to AppGallery. Have a browse through a dizzying variety of gaming categories that Huawei has to offer and join in the fun.

    It’s Game On for Mobile Gaming in Africa https://techeconomy.ng/its-game-on-for-mobile-gaming-in-africa/ https://techeconomy.ng/its-game-on-for-mobile-gaming-in-africa/#respond Tue, 11 Oct 2022 07:59:09 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=85942 Mobile gaming revenues for Africa are expected to hit a compound annual growth rate of more than 13% for the 2021 to 2025 period.

    Furthermore, mobile internet users will reach 475 million and 4G connections will increase from approximately 9% to around 27% between 2020 and 2025.

    This creates massive opportunities for mobile game developers to reach new audiences across the continent.

    With more than 21 million smartphones being shipped per quarter to Africa, the market has shown the potential for engaging with consumers using mobile devices as the platform of choice.

    This is especially true when it comes to finding alternative forms of entertainment. Thus, for its part, mobile gaming provides an affordable and accessible alternative.

    Another benefit of the mobile gaming environment is that the main payment method is Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) which allows the user to make in app payments using their airtime.

    With almost 60% of the world’s population of two billion unbanked people living in Africa, the convenience, security, and user-friendliness of carrier billing just makes more sense.

    Between 2015 and 2021, the number of game consumers in sub-Sahara Africa increased by approximately 144%. Of the 177 million gamers in the region, a massive 95% are using mobile devices as their platform of choice.

    Gaming benefits

    Of course, mobile gaming is a great form of entertainment and provides wonderful escapism however there are many other benefits to consider.

    Playing mobile games help children test their strategic thinking and awareness of their environment. It can improve memory, spatial awareness and problem-solving. For instance, ‘Train your Brain’, available on the AppGallery is an addictive title containing a complete collection of games that will help develop your memory skills whilst having fun.

    Memory training is perfect for all ages and this game provides   different challenges to test your capacity of retention and memory in the short and long term. Each game has different levels so you can practice gradually.

    There’s also the creativity aspect of gaming to think of. Mobile games can give flight to your imagination. ‘Sand Drawing’  is a fun app which lets you draw on realistic sand. It’s the ultimate drawing pad where you can just unwind and relax.

    It’s Game On for Mobile Gaming in Africa
    Happy young woman using digital tablet at home

    Whoever said that games provide no educational benefits haven’t explored how the environment can test children’s knowledge of maths, science, or other areas of interest. This not only enhances learning but also makes it a fun experience for your children to stay engaged in a particular subject.

    ‘Educational games for kids’ is a great example of this. Your kids will learn alphabet, numbers, colours, shapes, days of the week, months of the year, planets of our solar system, space and much more. Features include sounds of letters, animal sounds for babies, fun games for pre-schoolers, shapes for babies, the list just goes on.

    Mobile gaming is booming across the African continent. Choose the platform that gives you the most opportunities whether you are a developer or a gamer.
