One’s addiction is another’s opportunity and the new drug that we have in the world is the smartphone! For many, it is their source of killing time but for others it is their platform for reaching out and this is what businesses have counted on to. But, but only the applications that are well designed and developed stand a chance in the market today! The array of market is big and the chance for error is thus marginally very low! This is where developers have to think out of the box and the battle here begins between “what to do” and “what not to do”. More than often developers face concerns that can affect their overall performance and avoid them becomes a great deal. Here are a few of those concerns that can really count.

1. Be Identified Through Your Idea

When there is plenty of fish in the sea the indifferent goes unnoticed. Who falls for the same thing in this world? Probably no one. This is what becomes the first concern for app developers and the one that brings their app to the point that everything else becomes accurate. Being creative and innovative is the first point that can count in here. This is one of the points that is concerned while the idea generation process of an application is happening. 

But just an idea is not enough in the application and it requires more work. From the target market to the aim of the app and everything in between is required to be brainstormed in this stage and this is where the direction of the app is set.

2. Funding Is The Oxygen That Makes The Idea To Breathe

A killer idea could only hit the target if it has the power to be launched and money is the force that pulls it to be launched. Funds become trouble and can even knock the idea down before launch if you don’t get the idea funded. Once you have the money you can bear the costs of development and marketing and everything in between. This undoubtedly is one of the biggest concerns that app developers face. Many times the ideas of apps die in the lap of developers just because they have no funds to breathe! 

3. Cross-Platform Design versus Single Platform Design

The range of devices is wider than ever. From a 16” device to even a 5” device everything could be found in the market and you don’t have the idea of what your users will be used. This is where the concern comes in. Designing the application for just a single platform is a big NO in the books of app development but once you go against the odds be ready for bug fixing every once in a while. This sounds tiring, right? Yes, then go for cross-platform design and make your effort to be reduced and the customer experience to be increased. 

4. One Way Conversation Is Draining Right? Be Interactive?

What happens when you talk and talk and talk and the other person is just listening? The listener gets bored and they get irritated and frustrated. Yes, that happens unless it either your love or the best friend. But customers are required to be kept with high interest and one great idea of doing that is to make the contemplations on the same is to create an app that is interactive. This is how you keep the interest of your users high. If I could sum this up in just one line for the contemporary time it would be “The better the interaction is the higher the chances of conversion is”. For sure nobody can argue with this fact.

5. Marketing Comes In When You Aim To Bring Your Application In The Market

Indifference is not enough to be identified but reaching out is also required. How about bring creative but sitting in the home and hoping that a perfect job will come to your way. Sounds stupid right? This is what the case with great applications is. Do you have a creative idea? You have got the funds? You have developed the app? Then don’t sit back and instead of just praying that people will find it do the things that will make people find the same. While I was working at The Apptivity. They had it all from developing the idea to developing the app and then when it was done they marketed it and I was quite surprised and shocked to see that a mobile app development service had an entire marketing department but sooner I realized that it was one of the purposes that their applications were always successful. They didn’t wait for people to reach out to them but instead, they went out and made their apps to get to the people it was aimed for.

6. App Stores Transparency Becomes A Headache

The fare of your app is partially dependent on the functionalities of the app store that you have submitted it to. Moreover, the transparency of the app stores is not 100 percent and this becomes the reason that many developers are unable to access what their market size and different categories and such other data which could be essential. Missing out on data is like missing out on the visualization of what actual target is. But there is a way out. It happens that 100 percent transparency is not offered by the platforms and thus the efforts are to be made by the app developers. This is a point of concern in strategizing of the application development and its further operations. 

7. Connecting With The User

Think about what is the aim of the application? It might change subjective to what you have built the application for but one thing that will remain constant here would be that it is used to connect with the user. The connection should be made proficiently. What could be answered with the purposes of the application however how is the question here that becomes a concern for many app developers? This is what developers are required to think efficiently. Be creative in impressing the customers at first, give them the navigation that is easy and make everything relevant. Working on design and content could be counted here and can make the users connect to the app to get their operations done.

These are the 7 concerns that app developers usually have in regards to making an application to be perfect and to be amazing and money? The money is waiting on the other side of the concerns only if you are able to convert these concerns into the strengths of your application.
