If you\u2019re not a mobile app developer but you want to better understand this topic, then keep on reading this article\u2019s part 1, specially created for you. Your idea for a mobile app might be amazing, you also might be a start-up founder moving to the next stage of funding, or the enterprise you\u2019re working at might be aiming to innovate with a new app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our guide will reveal the different aspects involved in app ideation, development, design, running &amp; selling. Let\u2019s go through what a successful mobile app development cycle involves:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"post-cta\"><div><div><p class=\"blog-cta-title\">Mobile App Development for a Competitive Edge<\/p><p>Developing Mobile Apps that Engage Your Customers with Your Brand<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/hypersense-software.com\/services\/mobile-app-development\">Explore Mobile App Development<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-market-for-mobile-apps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_market_for_mobile_apps\"><\/span>The market for mobile apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile app development has become quite common, while mobile apps changed consumer expectations, behavior, and last but not least, the processes performed at their workplaces. This is a big advantage for the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pre-development\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-development\"><\/span>Pre-development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This process involves the basics of mobile apps, and the market, as well as avoiding the most common mistakes in the ideation &amp; pre-development stages, deciding between in-house or agency development, strategy &amp; tech stack choices, choosing a mobile app development company as a digital partner, and having the right cost expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-development\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Development\"><\/span>Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common development methodologies, avoiding mistakes during the development process, and going through all the development phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-post-development\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post-development\"><\/span>Post-development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This involves maintenance &amp; costs to keep your app running smoothly, promoting the mobile app, commercializing it, and how to avoid mistakes after you launched the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information is complex and our mobile app development guide aims to offer you complete information about how to build a mobile app in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-mobile-app-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_mobile_app_market\"><\/span>The mobile app market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the basics and don\u2019t miss the common mistakes section! You\u2019ll discover lots of interesting information &amp; statistics on the development of mobile apps, the right market for them, and how much they fill our lives right now as consumers, professionals, or stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-mobile-app\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_mobile_app\"><\/span>What is a mobile app?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The software application designed exclusively for use on smartphones and tablets is a mobile app. Of course that most devices run on various operating systems (OS) and most mobile apps are designed to run on iOS (iPhone) and Android, operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-mobile-app-operating-systems-android-and-ios\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_mobile_app_operating_systems_%E2%80%93_Android_and_iOS\"><\/span>The mobile app operating systems \u2013 Android and iOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most commonly used mobile OS in 2021 was Android, having around 72% of the market, while iOS had only 27.47% of the same market. Over the past decade, the market has strengthened. Two dominant players were left on the market and this simplified a lot of things for mobile developers &amp; the people behind mobile app projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stay informed, just keep in mind that the worldwide market share of Android vs. iOS doesn\u2019t reflect the total number of mobile apps developed for each OS, in this case, is much closer, so the Android apps available on Google Play are 3,482, 452 while the iOS apps available on App Store are 2, 226, 823. iOS still has a higher market share in more advanced economies, compared to the worldwide average. Only in the UK &amp; US, iOS has over 50% market share, benefiting from being ahead of Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market intelligence also often tells the app owners that the consumer who owns an Apple mobile device represents a higher income demographic than the consumer who owns an Android device. This means iOS is a far more important market to develop mobile apps for. Even though its global 27.5% market share might suggest the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-develop-a-mobile-application\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_develop_a_mobile_application\"><\/span>Why develop a mobile application?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before continuing, you should know that \u201cwhy develop a website or software solution?\u201d was the question frequently asked 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile apps have had a massive influence in Changing consumer behavior patterns, processes across sectors &amp; industries, and business models have been hugely influenced by mobile apps over the past decade. People use them nowadays for everything from dating, ordering food, opening smart locks, ordering taxis, shopping online, booking flights, or consuming media, so the apps they love using became part of their lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2012, the Tinder app and Instagram app for Android was launched, so we\u2019re talking about 10 years ago. Around the same time, ridesharing app Uber and food delivery apps like Delivery Hero &amp; Deliveroo launched in 2011.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a relatively small period, we\u2019ve become so familiar with using apps that we find it odd when a service or business doesn\u2019t have one. If might find it interesting that in 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We spent 90% of our time interacting with the apps on our smartphones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consumers spent around 2 hours\/day using their favorite apps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since 2019, the time spent using apps increased by 30%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact smartphones are easy to reach &amp; use anywhere offers a quick &amp; convenient way to get things done. The new format was also harnessed to create Entirely new business models &amp; ways of doing things was also harnessed to create by the new format. The chances are high that a decade from now translation apps will have broken down all language barriers in professional communication, opening up a new world of collaboration &amp; cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The businesses that won\u2019t have a mobile app in the next 10 years will be the exceptions rather than the rule. The probability of having a new generation of quickly growing app-based businesses that will be hugely valuable is also pretty high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-business-case-for-mobile-apps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_business_case_for_mobile_apps\"><\/span>The business case for mobile apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apps are mainly developed aiming their use will achieve efficiency while generating a return on investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about airline apps with mobile check-in and boarding cards. Adopting them has reduced the time needed to check in flight passengers, while also reducing staff costs. Most passengers also find them more convenient than having to print &amp; carry a paper document, and this led to a huge improvement in customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also apps with a non-profit business model for a foundation or a charity, like the World Wildlife Federation\u2019s (WWF) whose mission is conserving nature and reducing the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth, rather than selling something or making money out of their app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raising individual awareness &amp; behavioral change is key to a charity achieving its mission. Several apps rely on this ideology, setting daily challenges on energy, food, and nature, aiming to help stop the climate change<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-pre-development-phase-of-a-mobile-app\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_pre-development_phase_of_a_mobile_app\"><\/span>The pre-development phase of a mobile app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start developing a mobile application there is plenty to do. The first step is to determine if you really should develop it at all. If the answer is still positive, you have another long list of considerations and decisions to make before development starts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"post-cta\"><div><div><p class=\"blog-cta-title\">Making Product Discovery Easier and More Accessible<\/p><p>Turn Your Vision into a Reality in Four Weeks with Our Expert-Driven TechBoost Program<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/hypersense-software.com\/services\/product-discovery\">See Product Discovery Services<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-reasons-why-mobile-app-projects-fail\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_reasons_why_mobile_app_projects_fail\"><\/span>Common reasons why mobile app projects fail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before committing the time and money required to develop a quality mobile app that stands a fair chance of commercial success, make sure you are not about to commit one of several common mistakes. If you carefully avoid these pitfalls, you\u2019ll already be well on the way to a successful app, whatever its goals are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-reinvent-the-wheel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_reinvent_the_wheel\"><\/span>Don\u2019t reinvent the wheel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one reason why mobile apps fail to take off is that they don\u2019t add any value. Not every app needs to be 100% ground-breaking original to be a success but there\u2019s also no point in developing one that does nothing new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully consider what added value the app you have in mind will offer users compared to what\u2019s already out there. What are your apps\u2019 selling points? What does it do that most similar existing alternatives don\u2019t? Are these features or functionalities enough to convince users to switch to your app? How quickly and easily could larger competitors replicate anything new your app does that gives it a competitive advantage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it make sense to build your app from the ground up? If it\u2019s a general utility app for something like making bookings or other functions many businesses have, there are almost certainly apps that have been developed by someone else you can white label for the same result at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-idea-needs-validation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_idea_needs_validation\"><\/span>Your idea needs validation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of new businesses fail because the founders are convinced they are solving a problem that turns out not to be much of a problem at all. Or they offer something new they think will be a hit but just don\u2019t catch on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market intelligence company CB Insight says 42% of startups fail because there is no market need for their products, apps, or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we are enthusiastic about something it can be easy to lose objectivity. Make sure you validate your app idea before committing to its development. Creating a simple prototype or MVP and testing it with potential users is one way to do this but there are different techniques and approaches which can make sense for your particular app idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our colleagues at UpTech have a great resource on how to validate app ideas pre-development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-costs-shouldn-t-be-underestimated\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Costs_shouldnt_be_underestimated\"><\/span>Costs shouldn&#8217;t be underestimated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll go into this in more detail but developing a quality app isn\u2019t cheap, even if it\u2019s not hugely complex. And if it is complex, it can be very expensive. Even a simple app developed to a high level of quality can be expected to cost in the tens of thousands of pounds and cutting costs runs the risk of an amateurish product that will severely reduce the chances of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-business-plan-is-important\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_business_plan_is_important\"><\/span>The business plan is important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you have the budget to develop your mobile app to the highest standards it might not make business sense to do so. You need a business plan to analyze if the resources that will go into developing and running the app will generate enough value, revenues, efficiencies, customer satisfaction and engagement, learning outcomes, or any of the other reasons apps are developed, are justified.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"post-cta\"><div><div><p class=\"blog-cta-title\">Leading Development Teams for Your Success<\/p><p>Optimize Your Project Execution with Our Dedicated Development Teams<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/hypersense-software.com\/services\/development-teams\">Get Your Development Team<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>How much will it cost to develop the app? How much will it cost to run the app, and keep it available and working for 100 or 10 million users? When are revenues expected to be generated? How quickly will they grow? If direct revenue won\u2019t be generated how will return on investment (ROI) be measured?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business plans always involve some level of guesswork. But not sitting down and carefully calculating all outgoings and incomings in realistic best and worst-case scenarios is asking for trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-marketing-strategy-will-be-needed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_marketing_strategy_will_be_needed\"><\/span>A marketing strategy will be needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the kind of mobile app, you plan to develop, its success will ultimately depend on getting it onto people\u2019s phones by convincing them to download it. And then keeping them using it. That won\u2019t realistically happen by itself, no matter how good your app is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need a marketing or promotional strategy and the budget to execute it at the scale your business plan estimates necessary. If you are entering a competitive market or trying to establish a new one, that will be a major undertaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a company developing an app for employees to use or a business developing one for existing customers needs buy-in. That, in turn, will rely on a promotional strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-rarely-just-an-app\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_rarely_just_an_app\"><\/span>It\u2019s rarely just an app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing and launching a mobile app is very rarely a case of just creating the app. You\u2019ll probably need a promotional website and quite possibly a web-based version of the app too. Developing your app\u2019s back end might also potentially be a much bigger project than its front end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-your-work-doesn-t-end-with-the-launch-it-only-begins\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_work_doesnt_end_with_the_launch_it_only_begins\"><\/span>Your work doesn\u2019t end with the launch, it only begins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially if successful, your mobile app will involve more work after it has been launched than is involved in the development and release.
