Points to consider during Mobile App Development

Decide whether the app is for Apple, Android, or both?
• You should first begin with figuring out your target audience. This will decide
whether you should go for an Android-based or an Apple-based application. This
aspect also determines the cost to build an app.
• If you are targeting a huge, spacious, large market comprising of mostly middle-
class folks, then Android is your calling. Maximum people use Android. Therefore
this is the choice of companies who want to sell to a mass market that can easily
download the app on Android.
• The some other section of people uses Apple; therefore, if you sell something
extravagant that only the rich can afford like a car insurance app, that is
undoubtedly an Apple-based app opt for an Apple-based app. Customers who
possess an Apple phone do not mind paying a bomb for any product, which is
reason enough for elite companies to develop their apps on Apple.

The Idea
• Ask yourself what problem you need to solve for which segment of the audience.
• An entrepreneur can identify even minor problems that people are facing daily and
come up with solutions accordingly. Problems are everywhere!
• Make an exhaustive list of the issues you think you want to resolve, and then
choose the one that suits you best.

Research
• Market research is the base of any business decision. Before you calculate the cost
to build an app and check out the investment needed and invest in an app, then
start your quest with thorough research. Understand the target market, latest
market trends, and customer demand to name a few.
• Do a market analysis and understand the strategy and popularity of similar apps.
Know your customer reviews, choices, and preferences.
• Proper research will help you plan and develop a user-friendly app to help your
company grow.

App Registration Process
• The registration process for Google Play and App Store is slightly longer.
• You should be aware of the registration policies and changes.
• Apple is stricter in this regard, and the slightest breach can lead to dire
consequences.
• So you need to plan time for the app registration process so you do not do it in a
hurry.

App developer or online app building service?
• You can even think of building the app in-house, and if you have the resources as
per the cost to build an app, along with an efficient app development team, making
the app in-house will give you complete control of the process, from concept to
design to building and testing.
• On the contrary, if you want the app-building process to be quicker and cheaper,
then you can always hire a white-label company to do it for you.
• Another option is to hire freelance app developers on online platforms like Fiverr,
Upwork, Freelancer, etc.

User Experience
• Focus on enhancing the user experience as this factor forms the backbone of a
mobile application.
• If your customers have to fidget with your app with problems like extra loading
time and poor responsiveness, they will surely quit the app.
• Your app will define the way your customer thinks about your business. Ensure
your app is user-friendly, highly interactive, and easy to use.

Scalability
• Even if you are conscious of the cost of building an app, you cannot afford to
ignore infrastructure that will enhance scalability.
• A scalable app accommodates an increase in users smoothly without the user
experience getting affected.
• A seamless user experience is essential to the users.
• When you work on scalability, you consider the possibility of crashes and
downtime issues, errors, failures, and any outages.
• When user experience is augmented, you improve brand loyalty too.

Marketing Strategy
• You’ve built your app and are happy with the idea you came up with to tackle the
problem. Make music & noise about it! Reaching your audience is very important.
• Strategize for the marketing plans and activities in the beginning because that
works best for you.
• Start creating hype and some buzz around the app at least 2-3 weeks in advance.
• Hire a specialist to take care of your marketing or ensure you are educated well
enough on the efforts that need to be made and at what time.

Platform Selection:
• Choose the target platforms (iOS, Android, or both) based on the app's goals and
the audience's device preferences.
• Consider factors like market share, user demographics, and development
resources.
• Cross-platform development frameworks like React Native, Flutter, or Xamarin
can be employed for simultaneous development on multiple platforms.

Offline Functionality:
• Incorporate features that allow users to access certain functionalities even without
an internet connection.
• This enhances the app's utility in situations where network connectivity is limited.

App Analytics Integration:
• Integrate analytics tools to track user behavior, engagement, and app performance.
• Analytics data provides insights into user preferences, popular features, and areas
that may need improvement.
• Use this information to iterate and enhance the app over time.

Legal Considerations:
• Ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, such as data protection
laws (e.g., GDPR), app store guidelines, and intellectual property laws.
• Address legal considerations early in the development process to avoid
complications later on.

Regular Updates and Maintenance:
• Plan for regular updates to introduce new features, fix bugs, and improve overall
app performance.
• Continuous maintenance is crucial for keeping the app competitive, addressing
user feedback, and staying compatible with evolving operating systems and
devices.

Feedback Mechanisms and User Support:
Establish channels for user feedback within the app and provide responsive customer
support. User feedback can be invaluable for identifying issues, understanding user
needs, and implementing improvements.
