What do you need to create an app that gets

downloaded a million times?

According to research firm Gartner, less than .01

through 2018. Even with such small number,

developers strive to achieve the success. The key to

developing a successful app is to offer addictive

mobile application.

The 5 Most Important Strategies to Create an Addictive App

You may not be next WhatsApp or Snapchat but if you

can consider these five tips, you can develop a stand

out app.

1. Understand the competition

Even before you create your won app, understand

where it would fit into a highly competitive market.

Try to find, what will be different in your app. You can

find similar apps in the market, and meet like-minded

developers to discover inspirations and ideas. Most

importantly, understand your competition to

differentiate your won brilliant concept.

2. Understand the context of use

When you plan to create an app, know how it will be

used. Will it be used on the go or for leisure? The

place where the user might use this app will

determine if two hand or one hand interface is

required. Leisure apps include games, videos, and

social networking integration, which are mostly

opened in the comfort of sofa, and users can afford to

use two hands. While in public on the go app like

messaging, news, etc. require only one-handed app.

3. Understand design is the key

When you are working on your idea, take it slow.

Never stop the search for new ideas and inspiration. It

is good idea to keep a sketchbook with you note ideas.

Initially, try to keep things simple and open to allow

any new additions.

4. Test your app

Once you build the first prototype, test it with

innovative subjects – you can let drunk people or even

babies try the app – just to see how much they enjoy

engaging with the app. Observe them working

through the interface and note the difficulties and

skills required to use the app. Also ask the people to

use the apps in various scenarios. This helps you

learn more about your app.

5. Distribute it and take survey

Give the app to your friends, family and colleagues.

Track them with analytic software and also take a

short survey. Take a break from the app development

do something else. Now look at the statistics and data

from the survey. This will give a much better picture

of the app.
