As the demand for iPhone, ipad,
Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile applications warms up, more and more
companies are diverting most of their focus and invest their money towards that
"next big mobile application idea". The five most important opinions
of mobile application development mentioned below.
Business Case: If you have
a good idea that could make in to a good mobile app, you should first research
if another application on similar / same idea already exist. Determine how you
can distinguish and renovate your idea. Understand your plan to develop Mobile app if
there is a need for the application. Besides validating your concept, assess if
developing that application is a suitable for your business plans/strategies,
direction, and if you will be able to regain investment in to developing this
application.
Target Audience: Whether
you are developing mobile application for your business use, usage by other
businesses or usage by individual consumers, you should have a better
understanding between your application and your target audience. That will support
making design and technology decisions for your application. If you are
targeting worldwide audience, you may also have to consider creating your
mobile application polyglot.
Technology Selection: With
mobile client applications, you can’t develop a single application that supports
all of the mobile platforms. Every mobile platform is different and run only
applications that are developed on the particular technologies. So if you
develop an iPhone application, this application can’t support/run the same
application on Blackberry, Android or Windows Mobile platforms. That is why it
is necessary that before developing an application, you select a suitable
mobile platform for your application. If you choose same platform for multiple
mobile applications, make sure that you design your application properly to
reduce initial and continuing development efforts and costs. Most importantly,
determine if you really want to develop a mobile client application which are
platform specific or a mobile web application which are more universal and could
run on all smart phones.
Timing: When there are many
companies trying to tap in to the growing mobile applications market, it is
critical that you move onward with your mobile development project time to
time. Otherwise, there are chances that other developer may beat you in
launching an application with same concept and could quickly tap in to your
potential client base. When it comes to launching a mobile app, right timing is
important for maximizing return on investment.
Pricing: Just like any
other item/product, you need to verify that price for your mobile application
is right. Research on the cost of other similar applications, search out how
valuable is your application going to be for consumers, and figure out your over-all
cost of ownership for building, launching and maintaining your application.
Bonus Point: Marketing - After launching your application, it is essential
to advertise it and increase its visibility to your target audience. Marketing
your application on social media sites, search engines and offering it on
discount for a short period of time should help increase its consumer base.
