Why Don't you follow this simple way of developing a Mobile App that sells?

The secret of creating a well developed app is versatility and making it simple by minimising the digital divide created by the levels of Technology.

YES I know that may sound to simple and easy to say however users nowadays want a mobile app that simply is created for the purpose of what it is made for instead of adding contradicting features that discredit the app. Here i will take you through certain types of apps which you can choose to target your audience:

Commerce apps are used for business and banking to create your own business in the comfort of your home so you can now work on your phone and buy and sell on it.

EG: Shopify or Lloyds banking app

Social events app are used to communicate in groups and talk to others about many topics while being wherever you want and lots of celebrities use it to communicate with their fanbase

EG: Instagram live

Communication: to talk to people or friends privately or in a group chat with family or friends so you can send texts and phone call when you need too. It is very simple to use.

EG: WhatsApp

Direction and location: To locate your destination and help you travel

EG: Google or apple maps

Educational and personal organisation: To view your homework and assignments and when it is due

EG: Show my homework

Gaming: To entertain yourself and play games online or offline

EG: PUBG

Lifestyle: For exercise and food so you can use your phone to help you live healthily so you can monitor your progress

EG: Six pack in 30 days

Now consider all these restraints to reduce post integration issues:

The issues in implementation and integrating apps on different devices is that it may not have all the features available for every device as IOS and Android.

How to manage post integration issues: Testing, Cost of integration, Firewall, Time constraints and Performance issues.

As you develop your application the first thing on your mind should be characteristics and features. Features are in the app and available to perform however characteristics are a part of the app like great user interface.

Main features of mobile phones:

  • Phoning
  • Integrated apps
  • Biometric authentication

Lastly create a survey with questions you can ask to your audience and how your app should be developed for your users.

Some apps may not need internet and a search engine always will. Mobile apps are easier to use and simpler and can track you. User engagement and more designed for customers. Users spend more time on apps. Apps can work faster. Mobile apps ask for your permissions when you install the apps. Mobile apps can send you notifications. You can do online banking and shopping. The new updated apps can now track you live like in Uber for example you can see where the taxi is exactly.

Surveys ask about You can ask by: Phone, Mail, internet and interviews

  • Behaviours
  • Opinions
  • Facts
  • Beliefs

Surveys also tell you about what the customers want the people who would use your app. It will be targeted at your audience.

Questions to ask

What is your favourite mobile app?

Why is the app above your favourite app?

What is your view on apps that track you and why?

Do you like suggestions in apps if not why?

Do you like different colour modes on apps for certain times of day?

If so what colours and why?

Explain how the purpose of a mobile app and the needs, Preferences and characteristics of the user affect Its design and the provided features. The purpose of a mobile app is to make sure customers around the world can access it also in mobile apps the user has his own preferences based on what content they want to see and why.
