Around the globe over $2.7 billion is lost yearly because of poor connection and bad internet speed. On a micro level, if an app does not load well more than 75% of the users would leave it and additionally, more than 45% users strongly feel that they won’t return to the apps which didn’t load. There is a strong negative emotion that users carry towards applications not optimized for limited connectivity. This, when added to the fact that quarantines across the globe have made people more reliant on the internet resulting in a massive drop in download and streaming speed, is a bad sign for the app industry. The omen of lowered connectivity has turned app entrepreneurs towards offline apps.
