Which apps do professionals use?

Most of the respondents use apps in their daily operations. The most commonly used are email and/or calendar, group chat, and web browsing.

16% of respondents use applications to automate routine tasks and reporting (a new option in this year’s survey).

Important in an app

The respondents were asked what they considered as the most important characteristics of professional mobile apps.

Professionals continue to value three characteristics:

  • Security and ownership of data
  • High reliability and availability of the service
  • Easy to use.

The top three characteristics have been the same since the very first survey.

The effect of the pandemic

For the second time, the survey asked if the Covid-19 pandemic had increased the use of professional apps. Most respondents answered “yes,” with an increase compared to last year.

Take note -

Though the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the use of professional apps, only one fifth of respondents had definite plans to introduce new professional mobile apps. This may indicate that people are uncertain about the future of apps.
