Today, we are surrounded by top-notch mobile applications that facilitate us with various services to make our lives easy and convenient. Whether we have to order food online or navigate a route or wake up early or schedule a meeting with our client, there is always a specific app for each task on our Smartphones. In short, everything is just one click away, and it seems like that’s the only reason why the app’s business is progressing day by day.

But if we go into the flashback, let say in the 1980s, we will observe that mobile applications have moved from dust to summit in these four decades.

Let’s take a look at the journey of mobile application development.

In 1997, a mobile application called “Snake” was considered as the very first mobile application developed by Nokia in Nokia 6110. Back in 1983, Steve Jobs created the App Store that was an elementary version of itself. Shortly after introducing iPod, Apple introduced iTunes, which is considered as the core application of Apple Inc. Moving forward, in 2007, iPhone got released with some native and essential apps that were much advanced than Snake.

The first App Store in iPhone was launched with more than 400 apps, which means we cannot entitle any app as “the first app.”

Before Android and iPhone, there was an era of Simons. Simons released the first Smartphone in 1994, although there wasn’t any app store in it, it was preloaded with various apps like mail, notepad, alarm, calculator, and phone book.

In 2002, Blackberry launched its first QWERTY keyboard-based mobile, Blackberry 5810. It was the first mobile with wireless email concept.

As we have discussed above, in 2007, the first iPhone was released that changed the definition of mobile applications. It came with advanced-level preinstalled apps such as weather, maps, memo, etc.

Soon after the iPhone release, in 2008 App store was launched with more than 500 apps. As per Steve Jobs, there were almost 10 million downloads on App Store in just three days.

Apps became the word of the century. People became preoccupied with this innovation as all of these apps entertained them with unique features.

In 2012, Google got raged up and renovated the Android market. It took a significant step and brought all of its content and services under one roof, i.e., Google Play. Various apps became an essential part of our Smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Google play collected 1 million downloads in just nine days.
Let’s talk about the revenues generated through mobile applications. It is quite impressive that 63% of iOS revenue was generated through games such as Candy Crush Saga, Temple Run, Plants vs. Zombies, etc.

Talking about revenues, how can we forget Angry Birds that reached 4 billion downloads in just four years and even came out with a movie.
Observing all of these scenarios, there is nothing wrong in saying that “the thing that was introduced as a feature has now become a source of a greatest earning of all time, i.e., a mobile app.”
