Having a mobile app is an increasingly vital part of any company's strategy. In fact, consumers are using their phones for three hours each day, and the large majority of that time is spent using apps rather than making calls or texting, according to Twin Prime, a new mobile content acceleration company.

However, many businesses apps get dropped by customers, sometimes in favor of a competitor's version. Much of the time people are quick to drop apps that run slowly.
