In today’s mobile world, standing out as an app developer can be a challenge. Apps are expected to have cloud connectivity. This allows user to access the data from a variety of devices, as well as let hidden processes be handled outside of the user’s view. If you have ever played a game that keeps track of player scores on leader boards or manages user accounts, then you understand the importance of these services. They definitely enhance the user experience. In some cases, the services are integral to the core functionality of the game or app. Because of the amount of work involved, it’s also understandable why some games or applications don’t take advantage of such services.
