Useful Points One Should Keep in Mind to Develop a Successful Mobile Application

Steve Jobs once rightly said, " Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. A design is how it works." In the current scenario, the surge of mobile applications does not come as a surprise considering the growth of the mobile market. However, just creating a mobile application is not enough. There are several factors an app developer needs to take into consideration before they start designing and developing an application. There are a couple of important questions they need to ask themselves before starting the process.

• 1. The objective of developing the mobile application
• 2. What problem your application is likely to solve
• 3. Who is the target audience?

Let's take a closer look at some of the steps one would require to follow while designing and developing a mobile application which is successful.

1. Idea

You cannot start developing an application if you do not have a concrete idea about what it is supposed to do. It is very important to have a clear idea before you start the process of developing an application. If you do not have an idea, identify a problem, look for things that cause inconvenience to individuals and based on your study, offer them the solution through your mobile application.

2. Is there a demand?

By conducting a survey, you can now assess the demand for the solution you are about to offer. In addition, you could also use the Google Keyword Planner tool to study what exactly if people are looking for similar solutions you are willing to offer. The results of your survey and other tools will offer you insights regarding your audience's interests and hence, help you develop a better solution.

3. Flow and features

Once you get the validation, you can now begin the process of developing your mobile application. Your mobile application journey has kickstarted and it is now time to focus on the details of your app such as the flow, structure, and the features you would like to include. You could use a framework tool to get a better idea regarding the flow and the features of your application. Be as detailed as possible when you put your ideas on the paper and focus on how your users would navigate the app.

4. Get rid of features that are not essential

After you create a document that includes the flow and the features of your app, try finding features that you could get rid of as it is important to offer only what your customers want. You could always update your app at any stage if you feel the need to implement those ideas in the future.

5. Focus on the design

Many developers ignore the importance of a good design and invest a lot of time developing an application. However, remember, a design is very important and ignoring the same is going to hinder the scope and success of your mobile application. The design is not only about the appearance of an app but also an experience. Hence, one should equally focus on the design while developing an application.

6. Do not forget to include analytics

It is essential to integrate analytics into your mobile application to monitor the number of downloads, user engagement, and retention. You could choose from a range of free analytical tools that are available in the market. You are all set to launch your app now!

7. Beta testing

Beta testing is your first real opportunity to understand what people think about the app you have developed. Moreover, it will also help you in improving your visibility in the app store and offer you the push your app requires.

8. Feedback and improvisation

After the first hundred or thousand users use your application, keep an eye on the feedback they provide. Moreover, study the customer behavior and usage patterns to improvise and improve your application. Keeping an eye on the customer feedback is really important.

9. Update your app

After you receive the feedback from your audience, you should update your app and give your customers what they want. Of course, it is not viable to include everything they ask for. Prepare a list of the most common pain-points and update them.

Creating a successful mobile application may seem like a daunting task. However, you just need to get the hang of it. You should be willing to take the negative feedback with an open mind and try to dig in deep to enhance your application. After all, the application is for your users and they are your priority.
