Making sure your app loads fast is undoubtedly one of our first priorities as an app developer. To do that, however, you must first understand what the common culprits are that tend to slow down apps.

So here’s a list of the common reasons we have identified over time, which causes our mobile app to slow down and how to fix it.

Outdated Software/App Versions - Always make sure that your phone's operating system is up to date. If your application is running on older versions of software, or if you haven’t updated to newer versions in a while, you will encounter a drop in performance over time.

You may do this by going to the settings of your phone then tapping on Systems & Updates ( Android) or Settings > General > About > Software version (IOS).

To get our latest Mobile App version, we suggest that you log out of your profile first then uninstall the app from your phone then download the app from the App or Play Store.

Network Latency - The speed of the network can hugely affect the speed of your mobile application. If the network is slow, the app performance will also be slow.

In order to fix the problem, please ensure to check the network speed all the time and make sure that you have a stable internet connection.

Lack of storage space - If your phone or tablet is full of photos, videos, and apps; the device doesn't have a lot of "thinking" room to get things done. Storage space is taken up on your device by the amount and size of apps and games, as well as files downloaded from the internet, and photos and videos taken with the camera.

If you let your device get to over 90% of its' capacity, you're likely to see a reduction of speed in the normal day-to-day use of your phone and the app.
