You Can Create A Killer iPhone App, Too But Read This First
Seeing people everywhere holding an iPhone is no longer a surprise nowadays. It has become a great part of one's daily life because of the many attractive facets. Sometimes, they cannot go a day without an iPhone since they have various apps installed in it that keep their lifestyle organized. Besides, iPhone apps are fun to work with.
iPhone opened a new door for various entrepreneurs. One very lucrative business nowadays is creating an application. Before, you need to be an expert coder or game designer to be able to build an application but since it went viral, even those with very little to no programming background can come up with an addicting and moneymaking application. Applications can be usually downloaded for free, trial, and paid with a price range starting at $0.99. The pricing scheme will depend on the author but set aside the price for the meantime. Your application should possess the following:
Put colorful yet comprehensive interface. Most users tend judge the app by its appearance. The first thing that attracts them towards an application is a well-designed logo and vivid environment. Make sure, though to live up to their expectation or your application will end up in the trash.
Functionality is another interesting feature of an iPhone app and this is what most users go gaga over. People of various types need a handy solution to their hectic schedules and complex day-to-day tasks. There are productivity apps that make it easy for moms to remember stuff to buy from the grocery or what affairs to attend to at school. If your app has that very competent quality, it will surely create a solid fan base.
Add the fun element into it. Who wants a boring application with nothing much to discover and do with anyway?
Easy navigation and simple interface would make your app user-friendly. The buttons should clearly point them to where they want to go and tell them what to do next instead of make them go round and round until they get tired of figuring out their way in.
Make your app unique or close to being unique. There are thousands of apps existing already and coming up with something that people have never seen before would be almost impossible. However, look around and you will find even a tiny detail in your surrounding that may become a big deal to your users. If you have to borrow an idea, add something new to make it distinct.
Be market-specific. Create an app that is intended for children who have special needs, and then make another one meant for moms who have multiple jobs, and the for stay-at-home dads, and then for college students with no boyfriend. These are just an example but this is how specific you should get. However, you can also create apps for general use if you want a wider following. All these features thrown into one mix will definitely be addicting. Your app should be something that is hard to put down.
Finally, make your app technically flexible. It should match various iOS versions. You do not have to cover everything but at least come up with something that users of later iPod touch can also enjoy your product.
Once again, remember that you do not need to be a genius to create an app although it would help to be one. Be a tech-genius and marketing expert at the same time if you want to make money out of doing something you like the most.
