11 Steps to Building an App People Will Love

Mobile App Development July 28, 2018 by Neha Baluni

There are countless apps available on the market. To win the competition, you need to develop an app with proper planning.

Follow these 11 steps and be the champion.

Gone are the days when an app becomes successful with blind luck and a little planning. Luck is no doubt a factor, but it can’t beat insight, knowledge, good advice, and advanced coding.

If you have an app idea burning in your brain, but you are not sure whether people will like it or not. Just make a plan! I know some will advise you to hire developers and invest; others will tell you about the risks. However, the fact is with some methodical work and planning; the entire process is fairly simple.

1. Perfect the Design in its Initial Stage

The idea is to invest heavily in design by hiring numerous people to perform a similar job. It may sound unreasonable, but is a major part of the app development procedure. When 10 people work on the same project, you can have the best results. You need to blend the best elements of each designer’s work to reach a final design.

2. Develop What People Love, Not What People Like

Most people only use 2 or 3 apps frequently yet install various apps (rarely used). To become users’ first choice, develop a quality product. With a useful and interesting app, you will be able to attract the bulk of users.

3. Apps are Not Only a Piece of Code

Almost all successful apps have a common business model. Designing an app is one thing, but getting business with your app is another. Building an outstanding app is just like building a successful business. You need to focus on these basic questions:

  • How can you make money with this?
  • What kind of infrastructure will it require?
  • What are the logistics?
  • What are the initial costs and the projected outcomes?

The most profitable apps have a brilliant business model containing marketing, customer service, and monetization schemes.

4. Launch Basic Version of the App

It’s excellent to have a big vision; however, success is achieved by covering small steps, not one giant leap. Don’t start developing a magnificent product right out of the gate. Launch the most basic edition of your app, get feedback from users, and then expand the features accordingly.

5. Work With Great Partners and Advisors

Leverage the insights and advice of experienced advisors. It is crucial to surround yourself with great partners while developing mobile apps, particularly if you are new to the IT industry.

6. Learn As Much As Possible

Learn new things about the field or industry your mobile app is going to represent. Knowledge is available everywhere if you are willing to grab it. You need to wear various hats, including designer, chief marketing officer, social media expert, chief executive officer, intern, and many more. Your goal should have an answer or knowledge about every question. A complete understanding of your product will help you positively.

7. Complete One-Step at a Time

Don’t ever try to complete all the steps simultaneously. Follow the one-step technique, implying finish one step at a time. In the beginning, you may get problems if you get stuck in one step. Nevertheless, don’t skip and move to the second one; it will gradually help you complete the app development fastly in one go.

8. Make a Problem Solving App

It is advisable to identify an issue and plan a cunning way to solve it with your app’s help. It can help your organization to achieve groundbreaking success. A lot is going on in the market, and competition is not going to be easy. However, if you come up with a unique idea, there are chances to attain success. Therefore, before beginning the developing process ask yourself a question, “What I actually want to develop?”

9. Work with a Right Co-Founder

Don’t worry if you are not a techie. Actually, we all can’t be, and it is not even necessary. However, if you cannot deliver the technology to support your vision, you certainly need a technical co-founder. Devote as much as you can on this. Try to find someone who is like-minded, super-techie, have experience developing apps, and easy to get along with. Searching for the co-founder might take time. However, as soon as you find someone suitable enough, you will accelerate like crazy. A perfect co-founder would help you to design an app, exactly or even better what you have thought of.

10. Be Agile

You will require to respond to users’ feedback, trends, and analytics quickly. This would keep your users active and help you to get ahead in the competition. In short, you need to implement ‘Agile’ development methodology. To do so, all you need is a clear goal and an efficient team.

11. Go For React Native

Personally, I feel that you can opt for React Native technology to build your app. The reason is there are multiple benefits of this technology:

  • It is faster to build
  • With one framework, you can access multiple platforms
  • A smaller team is enough, etc.

If you are planning to do so, take the help of React Native developers.

Sum Up

Developing an app that your users liked and loved is a hard nut to crack. You can’t simply start making a mobile app without any pre-planning in this highly competitive world. Considering this, I have jotted down some points in this article that will surely help reach your goal.
