Mobile & Wearable app development is becoming expensive as the time and effort you invest is now never less, as the users and companies have set new benchmarks. Entrepreneurs should always aim to design correctly, as apps can become strong competitive arsenal that can boost business in the battle for market share. A truly effective and addictive app with a great user experience we need to develop to delight user every time. Here are some core elements, I feel that are mandatory for app business success.
Great UI (User Interface)
First impressions are every bit. That’s just human personality. The key is great UI. The way app come across and function is vital to its success. This is particularly true with free apps, as they have a high burn rate. Keep in mind that the UI is modest; mitigate design elements that don’t value a function. Prioritize the most relevant content, and give users a logical path to follow for easy navigation.
Fast Loading Time and High Performance
If app takes too long to load, it will be evaded by users. Best apps take less than five seconds to load. However, complex apps take a bit longer to load. If this is the scenario, mull over taking the user to a “loading” screen, which notifies about the loading process is on. The app should have good quality with high performance and consistent flow.
Touch Support
Great apps support touch. Apps should be intuitively utilizable, instantaneous, and put the least amount of load on the users' attention. This is what touch brings to the mobile party.
Social Integration
Integrating social media sharing has become a necessity. The audience on social media will share just about everything they sense fanatical. Make Facebook or any other social media platform to allow your user to sign up, like, comment or share posts about various events, making it effortless for the users to remain occupied.
User Feedback
Great apps offer user feedback. Apps should be able to ask the user to rate or comment on features and functions as well as track patterns and analysis to provide insight into ways it is used and can be improved over the time.
Customization
Best of the apps support customization. App customization might be as simple as allowing the user to select a "skin" or as complex as allowing the app's menu to be reorganized. This matters because what works in the field is usually not exactly what was planned for, and successful businesses need to be nimble and adapt, which requires that their apps have to be just as nimble. Apps should also support customization to support the unique features of each device type, whether it be Android or iOS.
Updates
Apps have to be easily updateable not only to fix bugs but to also incorporate user feedback and provide improved features and functionality. These updates should be easy to implement across all platforms and devices.
One Source
Great apps have a single source. The unsophisticated and expensive way to achieve cross-platform support is to port your app to each target platform's native development environment. This means you'll have a version for iOS, another for Android, yet another for each Web browser, and so on. A great mobile app has a development environment that supports every target platform and handles varying screen sizes and features with one source - making responsive, agile development a reality in a cross-platform and mobile world.
Include Analytics
For small businesses, the ultimate requirement is to track and identify their user’s actions and experience. The best way to achieve that is by integrating a system of analytics. Tracking and analyzing their experience is more important for business rather than a handful of data that does not pay off.
