Create a Mobile App That Sells
There are a few rules that most best selling apps follow to generate a great user base and keep their users coming back for more. The secret is out. Now you can use the same rules and apply them to your next mobile app. Follow the guidelines below to get your app in one of the top spots in today's marketplace.
Are you here because you are an android developer? The first aspect any user notices when searching for an app, whether they realize it or not, is high quality design. The higher quality the visual aspect of the app is, the more trust is instilled in its functionality. Even if an app works poorly, if the visual aspect looks better than the competition, it will be the app that is downloaded nine times out of ten. When looking at a high quality design, consider simplicity of design, your branding, and functionality of the app. If you are creating an app for Halloween, you will not want to use pastel colors in your branding. The design should be simple enough as to not distract the user from its functionality, and visually appealing enough to look like a completed, high quality app. If you do not know where to start, or need assistance in this area of app creation, consider hiring a graphic designer. If you do not have a lot of programming knowledge, you can use graphic design software to assist you with the visual aspect of your application.
Once you get the user to download your educational software, you need to make sure it works well and is easy to use. Usability is one of the most important parts of mobile app creation. If you have an app that is visually appealing, but takes forever to download, or has a 5 minute login process, the user will get bored and move on to the next app. In order to retain your users, it is crucial to ensure your app is easy to navigate, and is not overwhelming for your users.
When your users have downloaded and are actively using your app, you will want to keep them coming back for more, and growing your user base by sharing with their friends. Keeping your clients interested is just as important as getting them to download the app. Consider using promo codes and special offers to early adopters of your app to engage them and incentivize sharing. If a user can get 10% off of your product, or a free item at a local business for sharing the app with friends, they will be much more inclined to spread the word.
Even if you are new to the mobile app game, following these tips can easily land you in the bestseller list of mobile apps.
