• Use platform design principles

- Offer a great native app UX and UI

- Adapt intelligently for device size and resolution

- Android material design / Apple HIG / Microsoft UX guidelines

• Use system services and user experiences

- System notifications, background service

- All round user experience

• Platform media and sensor services

- GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetic compass, microphone, light, camera, speaker…

- Location update control / settings

- Think about your update strategy

• Be kind on the battery…

- Don’t get uninstalled!

- E.g. increase updates close to the fence

Using the native platform

• Offline or online

- Because mobile! Apps should work wherever they are…

• Basemap tiles, geodatabase features

- Pre-planned workflow - provision data in advance

- Or generate / download data on device while connected

• Offline editing, sync when next connected

• Routing, place finding

• Geometry operations

- Projection and geographic transformation

- Proximity calculation

- Within relational operator

- geodesic distance and densify
