What Mistakes to Avoid in Mobile Application Development

The future of the mobile app industry is bright; and so is that of the professionals dedicating their services in this domain. Several mobile application development companies in India and abroad handle simple-to-complex projects on a daily basis. The success/failure of these projects to a large extent depends on how easily the developers get the understanding of the client’s requirements and avoid the mistakes that can normally ruin the project. Here, we bring for you few of such mistakes that must be avoided at any cost.

Not Making Platform Considerations Correctly - Choice of mobile app development platforms is fairly large with iOS, Windows, Android and more. Its never a wise option to base your decision of choosing the platform on basis of stereotypes. A number of developers stick to the iOS platform just because they think monetization on Appstore is far easier. However, the same is not true always and a number of other factors must also be taken into consideration while deciding the platform.

Considering Mobile Experience to be Downsized Web Experience - A website and mobile app are two different things; both should never be misunderstood to be same in size, functionality etc. However, the risk in mobile app development are far too large - consider for example your iOS app’s design being rejected by Apple. Still, the fact that mobile apps are more valuable can not be denied. A number of pros related with mobile apps like intuitive interface, infinite customizability etc, make them all the more in-demand. Its noteworthy to mention here that the wave of responsive is rising fast and same may require more justification on the requirement of a new app.

Not Planning Adequately for App’s Sale - There are thousands of apps already existing in the app market; which means that your newly launched app will get to face tough competition and so you should not forget to make suitable plan for increasing its visibility. Its also fair enough to study the market trends with help of tools like Google Trends and Xyologic for better planning of your marketing efforts. Identify the target markets and aim for broader markets accordingly as required.
