Mobile applications (i.e., mobile apps) are dynamic from the user point of view, it is complex in some situations, and it is being developed in competitive and strict time frames. Therefore, the developers are required to pay attention to choose an appropriate software development process to cater these needs. Over the last decade, agile approaches have become very popular for software development in general, but there has only been limited research performed in the applicability of agile methods in the area of mobile app development. In this paper, a detailed review on mobile app development approaches with their best practices is prepared to explore the suitability of agile approaches. We have also conducted an online survey to know the current mobile app development trends in industries. It is observed that the agile approaches are the most suited approaches for mobile app development due to its flexibility in making changes, scalability, usability, etc. This crucial survey contributes towards a better comprehension of development trends in mobile app development industries.
