Have you heard about Angry Birds? What about Whatsapp? These are the world famous apps that have been popular into the global markets. So, it’s worth thinking what made these apps so famous as neither they bring something unique on the table, nor do the things differently.
Having unique idea for mobile app is the first step for building a great app. Every app owners dreams of making the app the best selling one. Nobody wants to build an app that is ‘just another app’ in the App Store. Developers and app owners all over the world are struggling with methods to make the apps stand out from the crowd. Here are some steps that can be useful to make your app popular:
1. Differentiate
One of the most common reason why your app becomes ‘just another app’ is that the app owners do not set a clear vision while building the app. Before starting mobile app development, one should have a unique idea of what the app would do. Think of the selling points and plan the structure and flow of the app.
There can be two ideas an app can be build on. First: It can be built on original concept. Second: It can be a clone of an existing app, offering some advanced features than the original one. In the first case, you will have to think of a concept that nobody has thought before. When you try to imitate the existing app available on the market, you will have to think of some unique and advanced features that the original app fails to offer. You can put yourself in the end users’ shoes and think of all the possible options to make your app better than the original one. If your app succeeds to bring something different on the table, it will become popular and the most lovable app on the App Store.
2. Jot down the ideas
Try to jot down every single idea and details of the app on a paper. When you want to prepare the flow of the app, write everything you have in mind and plan the interface of the application. Prepare a list of features you would need for the mobile application. Many app owners and developers skip this step thinking that they’ll bear everything in mind, but it’s important to put your thoughts on paper.
3. Make sure things are set before developer steps in
Once you have jot down the concepts, start finalizing your requirements. Hire a mobile application developer having some decent years of experience in the industry and make sure you communicate your ideas with the developers. Ask the professionals how much experience they have in the industry. Then comes the price issue. Every mobile app developer would charge differently and hence, it’s important to know the development cost of your app.
4. Prototype and testing
The developer should provide you with a first draft so that you can check how each and every screen on the application interacts with one another. Check the buttons of the app and where they take you.
Once the prototype is ready, it’s time to test it. You can ask your friends and family to try out the app and get feedback and suggestions. This will help you improve the mistakes and improve the app.
5. Supervision
You should supervise the development of the app and stay connected with the developers throughout the development process. Make sure that you can exchange your ideas with the respective developers and get regular updates from them.
Wrap Up
There are several factors that can contribute towards the success of your app. Make sure that you take the correct path and achieve your business goals with mobile app.
