According to a number of surveys, more than half of the world’s population already owns a smartphone. With that being said, people spend an average of 3 hours on their phones and they use the device for pretty much anything- may it be consuming some media or for productivity purposes, among many other things. What does this tell you? Well, it tells you that there is a need for app development companies to ensure that their application is something that people want to use for a very long time. For companies, they have to ensure that they iron things out before they hire an app developer. So today, I am going to provide some solutions to the most common app development obstacles today.
Funding
If you are going to make an application that is out of this world, then you have to be prepared to shell out the money. Sure, you can use app builders to help you make an app, but that can only get you so far. If you really want to have an application that is built with your specifications in mind, you will have to hire a dedicated app development company to handle the project.
But of course, you also need to be aware that you could be spending thousands of dollars for it. So, what is the solution for this? Well, a GoFundMe or a Kickstarter campaigns is a good place to start. You may also do some bootstrapping or take out a bank loan if you really need to get more money than you have right now.
Tight Competition
It should come as no surprise that app developers are faced with the dilemma of a tight market competition. I think that every app concept out there has already been exhausted and there is pretty much an app for everything these days. But, despite the fact that that is the case, you can still create an application based on research. What do people really want? From there, you should pay attention to the application’s user interface and overall user experience as well.
Good UI
What do you think is the main reason why people stop using an application? Well, if it provides a poor user experience, then that could be the reason. For people to want to use your application on a daily basis, you need to make sure that the application actually has a really good user interface. By “really good”, I mean that the UI must not have any loud elements or things that can clutter up the display.
Furthermore, it is also a good idea to take advantage of the phone’s hardware specs, especially since today’s phones come equipped with new sensors and cameras, among other things of course.
Marrying Performance and Battery Life
Look, everyone wants a responsive application, but they also do not want to use an app that is a known battery hog. Balancing the two is the right approach to developing an app, but that is actually easier said than done. You must ensure that you optimize the software for this to happen.
