6 key tips to build a successful app

Today we are talking about some tips that will help your app reach recognition and a lot of downloaders. It is important to know that a lot of things interfere when it comes to building an app, to keep you in shape with your ideas, we’ve come up with these tips that we learned through years of experience. First of all,

1- Solve a real problem

That’s right, it doesn’t matter if your idea is genius or easy to apply, if you’re not solving a problem, the chances of your app not going through are big!

Think about apps that were a hit and then disappeared out of nowhere, like game apps for example, that happens because even if it was a fever, and addictive, apps that have no further purpose, ends up fading away. 

Now think of Uber, a great app solving a massive problem, and we do not see it going away any time soon, see the difference?

So before you create a business plan, make sure your app really solves a problem, and this category leads us to the next one.

2- Make it simple

There are lots of rules to follow when it comes to building an app, choosing its design, features, buttons and so on, but you must keep everything you can as simple as possible, I’ll explain why.

According to some research, Millenials are the biggest category in-app downloading, and 21% of them have already deleted an app because they didn’t like the logo. You can check more information here.

So what comes to mind is that you may have a great idea but you need to organize it and make it simples to use, watch, play and interact, otherwise, customers can get tired and delete the app.

We must remember we live in a time where things happen very fast, and if your app cannot deliver its purpose with the very first few minutes of use, your app won’t prevail. 

3- Watch trends

A great tip is to use constantly the features of Google Trends, that is because, we can’t always be sure of what customers really want, and this website helps you understand what has been ranking and what people are really talking about. 

Don’t worry if your idea has already been developed, there are a million ways to approach the same content, find your way in.

4- Have a support plan

It is very important to take your App Support seriously, that is because any bad reviews can make your success go down the drain. People will analyze first your app reviews and what is being said about it before really downloading it, good references are the key to attract downloads and build up your app into the top 10. 

If you’ve received a bad comment of someone through your social media and email trying to solve a problem, don’t take more than 1 day to reply.

5- Focus on the customer

Everything you do needs to be thought throughly as the customer’s view, if it takes more than 2 taps to make an action on your app, you’re already losing him. Also, never forget to make him feel like he can have a personalized experience, like adding a name, having a profile photo, choosing backgrounds, colors, having folders available to save what he likes and examples go on and on. 

Make it possible for your users to “change” your app in some ways, so they’ll feel the freedom of making something of their own too.

6- Look for a great app development company

It can be really heartbreaking to have a complete idea, great support and business plan and then, the app turns out bad. That is why you need to take very good care when it comes to picking a company that will literally bring your idea to life. You need to evaluate things like pricing, team, app complexity and most important, if you can connect with the people that will attend you.
