The phone is BIG, man

How big are we talking?

The numbers• By 2020, 78% of all internet enabled devices will
be smartphones (source: IDC)• US M-Commerce market to grow from 114bn in
2015 to 251bn in 2020 (source: Forrester)• UK M-Commerce to increase to £53bn by 2024
(source: Barclays) • 89% of time spent on the phone is in apps, 11%
the mobile web (source: Nielsen) • Apps market to double in value to $70bn between
2015 and 2017 (source: Digicapital)

Phone Ergonomics
xp
Fingers do the talking• The fold is a fluid concept on
mobile• Users rarely stay in one view• Instead, there is a great deal of
swiping up and down• Footer navigation gains clicks as
users see how long a page is• Mid-page content may be ignored
xp
Mobile Analytics• Key metrics include:
session length, dwell time, number of swipes, time of day, GPS data
• Joining up journeys between desktop and mobile is a real challenge: deterministic, probabilistic (or make users log-in)

Responsive Design. Or not?

xpApps? Mobile Sites? Or both?
xp
The App Ecosystem• There are distinct cultural
differences in the app ecosystem compared to websites
xp
Google Material Design• A new visual language for
designers and developers aimed at providing a consistent, seamless experience across Google interfaces

Testing of Apps• Involves hard coding a new version• Rollout managed by Play Store/Apple Store• Testing usually involves whole experiences (e.g. moving log-in or a
level-up)• Native apps require cross platform variations• Small scale AB testing or MVT not practical• Data may not be real time (offline users)

The ASO battleground• App Store Optimisation-
optimising for who your app ranks in Google Play and Apple Store etc
• Many of the same tactics apply to ASO as SEO
• You can run tests- but only in the Google Play Store

Game publishers• Most games are freemium- 1.5% of active players pay*• 50% of revenue comes from 10% of players (‘whales’)• Average payment about $13 per month• Machine Zone, Supercell, King are big players

Market Predictions• Mobile will continue to grow with more users, more apps, • There will be faster smartphone growth in emerging markets• Mobile advertising will continue to suffer from very low CTRs so
context and personalisation will be key• Google will continue to merge in app experiences in with the main
search results• Use of wallets and biometrics will help to increase M Commerce
conversion rates

Five Takeaways(1) Phone culture is different(2) You may be measuring new metrics(3) User testing should happen on physical devices(4) App testing is a new skill set to learn(5) Responsive design is a tactic, not a silver bullet
