The 9 Most Important Mobile App Development Tips
Almost the entire world has gone
mobile and that’s why every business wants to count with mobile application
development. Researches show employees are increasingly using mobile apps in
making their course more productive in terms of time, speed and simplicity. Mobile
apps are giving lucrative opportunities but only when if they are created by professional
mobile app developers.
Expert developers have shared
following tips for making great mobile apps.
Requirements Are Must-Have
The very first development tip is what
is the problem you want to solve with app. Problem sounds a serious word but in
software programming, problem is the requirement to be fulfilled by the solution.
It varies from company to company. It may be for internal or external problem.
Once you have sketched up the problem, you need to make a plan that addresses
the requirements app is to be aimed at.
Users Are Everything
Once you have a plan to be formatted,
think of users and in fact, think only of users while making a plan. Whether
the app is to be built for internal users or external users, it is just
worthless if it doesn’t meet their requirements.
So always define the target audience
so that things can progress in right direction. You need to give all due time in
research of audience to come up with a really effective product.
Finalize cost and others things in the
beginning
Before partnering with developers,
make sure you are not going to pay more than standards service charges. Check
what kind of quality they have been delivering to their clients. The most
important thing to discover about a particular mobile app development company
is if it understands and is passionate about your app idea.
Also, you need to discuss several
other things like wireframes, frameworks, technologies, APIs, SDKs, etc. You
would not want the development team saying at a point of project-process that
it is not able to create some features. To avoid such situation, finalize the
most part (major things) of project in the beginning.
UI/UX Design Is a Key
Users do not often respond to messy or
awful apps / websites even if it is quite interesting or useful. They do not
like complexities because they have other options already available. So, when
developing an app, keep equal stress on UI and UX because they are the keys for
a successful app.
Android OR iOS
Both the platforms have their own
specialties and are used by different types of users. They have different app
development practices too. They follow dissimilar guidelines, features and
functionalities. Your app will abide by them when it comes to making money or
promoting your company or delivering utility computing.
Faster is better
Your app needs to be better in all
ways. It should not take too much time to download. It should have easy
navigation. It should not consume too much battery. It should not use
unnecessary data. It should not have pointless permissions. It should open in the
span of 4 to 5 second.
Online Is Not Forever
Not all places do have same level of
internet connectivity. But if your app requires internet connectivity all the
time, it will not be good app according to current trend of mobile app
development. Currently developers are focusing on building apps which have some
sort of offline functionalities.
Test Everything
It’s going to be a mistake if you try
to publish a buggy app. First of all, app stores will reject it. If it’s
published anyhow, users will reject it and comment negatively against it that
will of course hurt its reputations
Lifetime Support
Do you think that your responsibility
is over once you have built an app and published it on app stores? Not at all.
You have to keep updating an app all through its lifecycle. If you don’t make
frequent changes to it, users will get bored and in result, it will be
uninstalled. To let users see that you are always behind the app, you have to
keep providing support as long as you can.
