Modify Your App To Counter Bad Mobile Data Coverage In Many Countries

A bad and shivering internet connection can cost a lot to an app. When the app does not load fast the users develop a perception of the app being slow and prone to bugs. According to SEO Darwin every business whose primary consumer interface is an app should know how to solve such problems of internet issues to provide users a smooth experience. There are multiple checks and techniques that can be carried out to ensure a seamless ride for users every time they engage with your app.

Here are some of the measures which can be taken to face such problems:

1.Images in low resolution:

If your app contains very high resolution images and it is based on images only then it is definitely going to be slow when there is bad mobile data coverage. All the images will load slowly and it will be a challenge to display the news feed of your users. It also becomes frustrating sometimes for the users when they are not able to see the necessary news feed or the images and hence they uninstall the app or do not use it.

So, to avoid this situation you can use low resolution images on your app as they will load faster and it will provide a smooth experience to your users.

2.Image pre fetch:

SEO Hobart says that the biggest advantage of image pre fetch for the app companies is that whenever the user is connected to Wi-Fi, the app can pre-fetch up to ten image-based posts which the user has not seen in the feed yet. In this way, when the user connects to mobile data at a later stage, he/she can see the feed with new posts without any hindrance and in this way your app will not suffer from uninstallation.

3.Store previous feed data:

This feature will never let your user feel that there is something wrong with your app or the internet connection. If the user is connected to mobile data and for some reason loses connectivity, the feed seen by the user in the last session can be displayed on the app. This enables the users to browse through the posts and not have an empty feed.

4.Prompting to post again:

Definitely use this feature to make your users feel relaxed. If a user is unable to complete posting something due to internet-related issues he feels frustrated and thinks that he will have to again create and post it. Due to this feature the same post can appear right at the top of the user’s feed prompting him/her to retry posting. This box should not disappear till the user manually discards it.

5.Compress the texts and images:

If you think that there is a long lag in displaying text and images on the app, the app’s  technical team must use a compression technique to respond to all the requests sent to the server. This is then decompressed on the app side before it is visible to the user.

These were some ways which are effective in order to enhance your app structure so that it can survive even in the bad mobile data conditions.
