Mobile phones have increased the opportunities for training online through udemy, an affordable mobile application used by very many people as learners or tutors online. The app is compatible with Android, IOS, and IOS. The ability of udemy application to avail features of search, upload among others have attracted many users since they are all accessible through a smartphone. (Cetina, Goldbach & Manea, 2018). The Udemy has led to significant changes leading to changes from PHP to python programming. Considering the technological advancements, the industries dealing with android and IOS are aiming at achieving advanced developments in mobile clouding to make the phone software and operating system smatter every day.
The majority of the developers involved in the development of mobile cloud incur high expenses and take a long time to develop the operating system; that’s because two to three separate codes are essential when deploying mobile cloud to various operating systems. The solution to the challenges experienced is Xamarin, which is owned by Microsoft, and it helps in cutting the actual costs and time. Mobile clouds can get accessed from different sources like tablets, phones, and desktops. The development codes should be able to support the software across various devices.
Google maps
Google maps are a phone friendly application that is supported by various devices. It’s essential when it comes to accessing and determining exact locations. It makes it easier to conduct business in the business world. The phone developers are making the phone more useful in multiple ways. When someone has to pick up something at unknown locations today, there are no worries because even the low ended devices can be used to determine precise location addresses. The phone developers are merely making the world a smaller place and friendly. (Yang & Hsu, 2016).
Google maps settle locations accessibility challenges since it consists of collected data concerning all the locations in the entire world with an ability to indicate specific areas and the respective address. The application is friendly and assists millions of populations across the globe. It enhances the user’s reliability, flexibility, and scalability, thus making them more productive. Google maps solve the challenges of missed locations for pickups.
The website makes the locations searched easier to find by providing clear directions with real time updates, making it easier for the user to find their places.

Google Maps provides the user with options like zoom, map type, street view, rotation, and scale alteration options.
