The Dos And Don'ts Of Mobile App Development

App Development

02 Oct 2018

In order to design the best possible mobile app and have it stand out from the crowd, there are certain steps that need to be taken first. Getting the most out of this process involves a combination of creativity and foresight. For starters, a mobile app development company must be fully aware of all the do's and dont's that are associated with this endeavor.
 
A mobile app development company may have access to all of the best technology and some of the brightest minds in the business. This task will still remain difficult if the mobile app development company is not willing to learn more about all of the do's and dont's ahead of time.
 
This is where the following guide comes into play. This breakdown is here to assist any mobile app development company that is looking to avoid the usual pitfalls that have been known to crop up at moments like these. 
 
Let's start with the do's:

Consider The Target Audience
 
target audience
 
The user always needs to come first and it does not matter what other design principles the company is considering. A mobile app development company must be willing to put their own considerations second to the needs of the consumer. Taking the time to contemplate the target audience and what their reaction will be is very important. A top notch company can always place themselves in the shoes of the audience that they are speaking to.
 
Remain Consistent
Once the target audience has become used to the content that they are being provided with, there is no going back. A mobile app development company must be willing to remain consistent with all of their product releases so that there is zero confusion going forward. This means that the apps should always be easy to use. An app that is unwieldy or clunky will cause users to move onto another provider in no time at all.
 
Think of the More Basic Users Out There
Everyone who uses the app is not going to be a technological wizard and this sector of the audience cannot be forgotten about. It may be fun to design an app with all of the necessary bells and whistles but will this app alienate the basic user? The apps that are most widely used are the apps that are designed to appeal to everyone. In other words: does the app have the ability to be used by a parent who is not technologically savvy? This is the question that must be answered. 
 
Focus On One Platform At a Time
A mobile app development company should never be biting off more than they chew in this regard. Too many developers fall victim to the belief that they can roll out an app across all platforms on the initial release. This is a tactic that causes far more problems than it solves. For the best possible results, a developer should be focusing on one platform at a time so that they can avoid bugs that cause the whole launch to be affected. 
 
Know The Current Climate
Too many developers will avoid learning more about the current climate and this is costly. While no company should ever be patterning themselves after their competitors, a mobile app development company should have a strong knowledge of the current climate. Are the ideas that the company is coming up with new and interesting or are they retreads of past ideas? Paying attention is important because it allows app development companies to avoid implementing apps that solve problems that have already been taken care of. 
 
And now for the don'ts: 

Overstuffed Pages

An overstuffed page will only serve to scare the user away. A mobile screen is not very large and this needs to be considered when a project of this magnitude is taking place. The more things that are being placed in one space, the less likely the user is to have a positive experience. A confused user is a user that is not going to come back. This also affects word of mouth in an adverse manner. 
 
Unnecessary Complexity
In many instances, app developers will attempt to use complexity as a means of communicating their ability to assist clients. In reality, this is a tactic that only serves to drive clients and users away in droves. Having the proper coding and designing skills is great but these skills need to be used to create a product that is not unnecessarily complex. An app that is too complex may also be difficult for the developer to implement successfully. 
 
Copy and Paste 
This may seem like a good idea in the moment but no mobile app development company that is going to stick around over the long haul should ever make this kind of mistake. Coming up with a unique operating system style is very important. Every operating system needs to look as distinct as possible. A copycat OS will simply end up confusing users that are looking for a more unique experience.
 
Unrelated Content 
Let's say that the mobile app development company is working with a client that is looking for an app that will allow them to find the closest pet stores. If this is the case, the last thing that they want to see is advertisements for unrelated things. Any app that is potentially released to the general public must be laser focused. If it is not, the user will happily move onto a different one almost immediately.
 
Rush The Release
It is important for a development company to take the time to undergo all of the proper testing before an app is finally released to the world. A rush release may seem like a good idea in theory but in reality? These types of decisions will make or break an app's success. While it is understandable for an app developer and mobile app designer and their client to want a rapid release, there is never a good reason to rush.
