Nearly 90% of mobile internet consumption is on smartphone apps.

Additionally, the number one reason why most users uninstall an app is the lack of usability and usefulness.

While the above statistics may not seem to connect and conclude, they imply the importance of app development and indicate how crucial it is to ensure quality of the process and results.

One smart way of doing so is choosing custom application development for your business. Wondering why not low code development? This article talks in detail about that.

Low Code Vs Custom App Development

Here’s a bunch of reasons why it’s smart to favor custom app development over low-code app development. But first, let us find out what actually is meant by low-code and custom app development.

What is Low-Code Development?

Low-code development is a mobile app development process that employs low-code development platforms including various tools that help build mobile apps through a drag and drop interface.

While low-code platforms help build applications in a short period of time, the ease of access comes with a variety of cons that must be considered before a project is commenced.

What is Custom App Development?

Custom application development is the process of building software for a specific set of users, functions or organizations. The idea of building custom-code applications is to develop software that closely fulfills the needs of the users and meets their expectations.

Custom applications are generally built from scratch and offer limitless customization options.

Why Choose Custom App Development Over Low-Code App Development?

1. Low-code May Encourage Inexperienced Development

Although not every low-code app developer lacks experience, it’s a route often preferred by individuals who may lack technical know-how or expertise.

Of course, a custom-code developer developing your business application from scratch may demand higher compensation compared to our low-code friend. But, this cost will bring with it the valuable experience and availability of a talented custom application development team closely looking after your business’ app development front.

2. Low-Code Lacks Freedom 0f Design and Features

As low-code applications are based upon pre-developed templates or low-code platforms, there isn’t much scope for customization.

If you have ever tried developing a low-code, template-based mobile app before, you may have an idea.

While these templates and platforms enable users to start off the app quickly, the final products often lack various features that may be essential for your business.

Apart from that, even the most minor edits, including graphic and visual updates, may require an unusual amount of extra work. This makes low-cost applications a less preferred option by companies.

3. Low-Code Approach Makes Scaling and Updation Costlier

Unlike custom-code applications, low-code apps have fewer customization options, which we just mentioned. But is this the end of the problem there?

A low-code application is often likely to pose challenges at the time of scaling or update.

For instance, the template that you used for building the application may stop future support for that particular range of products. Or, the latest template updates may not suit your purpose well. Additionally, a template-based application will put limits to your business’ creativity and productivity, keeping the app enclosed inside the same design and set of features.

4. Security and Reliability May be a Concern

In the past ten years, more than 300 data breaches have occurred, causing a global loss of over 100,000 records.

The amount of data lost and leaked may account for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, inflicting severe damage on businesses across all industries.

One primary reason why data attacks become easier is the lack of security that low-code platforms may offer. 

This majorly happens for the following reasons:

  • You or your development partner has not written the code, so it can’t be trusted for its reliability.
  • Low-code template developers may eliminate security features that may not hinder the normal function of the application but can leave loopholes for a cyber attack.

However, when you hire a reliable full-cycle app development service company, the team ensures delivering a product that is fully customized as per your business’ security preferences and requirements.

5. Integration Challenges

Another drawback of using low-code platforms is their lack of integrability with other existing tools and software that your business is currently using.

Most low-code platforms come with several limitations around what changes you can make to the output. Additionally, to make these changes, the developer will require the know-how of the platform in use.

This makes integration a challenge. Even if the integration of such a grade is possible and supported by a low-code platform, finding the way through may be difficult as all platforms work differently.

Speaking of custom-code development, it leaves enough room for seamless integration with your existing software.

6. Low-code Apps Can Lower Efficiency

Most low-code apps are built with several short-comings, led by the lack of customization. This means that several useful features may be missing from the application. Or design preferences may not be optimum or as required. 

These factors can greatly contribute to lowering the overall efficiency of your team.

As your business app is not performing optimally, your employees may have to step in to guide your users through, or to make amendments or to just manage the mess being created by the low-code counterpart.

Building a custom-code application in the first go will save you the hassle. Also, a custom built application will be designed and developed based on your business’ specific requirements and your target audience.

This can help your business establish a connection with its prospects.

7. User Lock-in Concerns

As a low-code platform comes ready from its developers, we do not have all the access to how the platform functions.

In case of data loss or vendor or user lock-in, your business may just be left helpless or too dependent on the platform developers. This can lead to mistrust or dissatisfaction, accompanied with panic among your users.

In a custom-code application, your team of developers or development partner will be able to make the required amendments on priority.

Low-Code vs Traditional Development

In the sections above, we discussed a variety of factors that support the fact that custom code applications are a tad better than their low-code counterparts. For a better understanding, a high-code vs low-code differentiation table may be helpful:

Low-Code vs Traditional Development

 

Low-Code or Custom-Code? What’s Good For Your Business?

Businesses with firm plans of upscaling and expansion would generally consider building a versatile app that can be updated with ease and no limits. Secondly, companies might also have to update app design/features as per the user feedback. 

This can precisely be achieved in a custom code application. Although, as mentioned above, low-code applications may appear to save time, effort, and money in the first go; a few months or weeks down the line, you and your users may start discovering the long list of shortcomings.

Save yourself the trouble — consult a reliable custom app development company such as Appinventiv. With qualified resources and years of custom development experience, we create applications that keep our clients and their customers happy.

How to get investors for your mobile app startups? https://appinventiv.com/blog/how-to-get-investors-for-your-mobile-app-startups/ https://appinventiv.com/blog/how-to-get-investors-for-your-mobile-app-startups/#respond Thu, 18 Nov 2021 13:36:55 +0000 https://appinventiv.com/?p=32232 The market for mobile apps is lucrative, and everyone with an innovative app idea wants a piece.

The market for mobile apps is lucrative, and everyone with an innovative app idea wants a piece. But hold on, is an idea merely enough? Well, NO! If you want to build a highly scalable and unique mobile app, you need significant funds. Market research, product development, marketing activities, and other stages of app development require financial investments. 

But getting fundings for your app is surely not a cakewalk. Hence, you need to find investors for your business. Well, before you pitch your business idea or app concept to investors, make sure to conduct some preliminary research. If your idea looks revolutionary to investors, they’ll surely invest. 

However, apart from the idea, if you present an MVP with minimal features, it will help investors to check and use your product in real-time. Investors will see that you are serious about your product and hence, they will be more likely to invest in it. 

In one of his essays, Paul Graham wrote: “Most app investors decide in the first few minutes whether you seem like a winner or a loser, and once their opinion is set it’s hard to change. Every startup has reasons both to invest and not to invest. If app investors think you’re a winner they focus on the former, and if not they focus on the latter.’’

Thus, the first impression is really important to convince an investor. So, moving forward, let’s discuss the steps to gain the trust of your investors and the types of investors that you may find. 

Types of investors

Types of investors

The market offers a variety of ways to get funded. Depending on your app idea, the amount of funds you need, and the stage you are at, you’ll need to look for investors in different places and pitch your ideas in different ways. 

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the different types of investors you may find.

1. Family and friends: Family and friends are usually the easiest to convince that your app idea is worthy. However, in most cases, your personal connections can sponsor a startup only at the beginning. You can use that money to do market research and build a prototype to show other possible investors. To do more, you need to consider other options as well.

2. Co-founders: The second way is to invite your friends or family members to become a co-founder. When a person is convinced that your idea has enough potential, they are likely to invest in your project. You can also find people outside your connection to co-found your business if you have enough trust in them. 

3. App contests: There are several app contests that take place in different parts of the world. While extremely competitive, these app contests give entrepreneurs a chance to present their idea to investors and convince them to finance your project.

4. Crowdfunding: It is a type of fundraising where collaborative efforts are made via the internet and other networks to raise money. For a successful crowdfunding campaign, you will need to invest time, effort, and probably money in marketing. 

5. Angel investors and venture capitalists: In case you are looking for a serious infusion of money into your mobile startup, it’s angel investors and venture capitalists you should look for. These entities generally offer a large sum of money. 

While angel investors for app development are more often individuals, venture capitalists are usually companies. In order for investors to take interest in your app, you have to make a very compelling argument to prove why your idea is worth the investment

Steps to gain the trust of investors for mobile app development

Steps to gain the trust of investors

Having just a baseline app idea won’t help as investors want to know that you have really given this idea some thought. They want to see that you have analyzed your competitors and your product has the potential to succeed in the market. 

Below are the key steps that will help gain the trust of investors and raise funds for your creative idea: 

1. Validate your idea: Finding a good idea can be a daunting task. You need to brainstorm ideas that can make a difference and solve customers’ pain points. You can start by working on your area of interest or passion. Once you have an interesting app idea, the next step is to validate your app idea to make sure that it is promising. Investors don’t want to fund an app idea that already exists. 

So, do a thorough research of the market and figure out the competitive landscape of your app’s market. Make sure that your app idea is not just a copy of another company’s offering. You can also consult an app development agency to understand the feasibility of your idea. 

Find the right market: It’s important to understand the competitive landscape of the market. You need to do thorough research on applications in your space to find out what innovative features are they offering to users and how you can stay ahead of them. 

2. Define the market size: When studying the competitive environment, you will get an idea regarding the size of the market you can expect. You must define the target audience and the market share, so that you can present your potential mobile app stakeholders with the real figures of the probable opportunities and risks, which can be expected.

Choose a reliable app development partner: Hiring a reliable app development partner can help turn your idea into reality. Choose a company that has successfully carried out similar projects and delivered analogous products. 

A mobile app development company has a team of expert developers, UI/UX designers, and market specialists that offer competent suggestions and always take your vision into account. 

The company also provides the latest industry expertise and access to the newest technologies. It helps create an app with the latest features and functionalities that will definitely impress investors. So, joining hands with a reputed development partner is the right thing to do if you want your product to get app funding from investors.

3. Know the investment basics: To gain the trust of your potential investors and be persuasive, you should know the basics of running a startup and money-raising yourself. This will help you understand the type of capital to take and the investment stages existing.

4. Figure out revenue strategy: Apart from understanding the basics of investment, you should also work on the strategy to generate revenue. The plain and clear strategy presented to the investors will make them finance your mobile app development more wholeheartedly. So, it’s essential to study the various monetization strategies and be ready to answer the clarification questions about them. 

5. Create MVP:  Minimum Viable Product or MVP is the first version of a product with a basic set of features. It is an effective and affordable way of helping investors understand the working flow of your app. An MVP allows you to understand if your app has the potential to succeed before going to mobile app investors. 

Moreover, MVP provides your potential investors with a physical product that they can see and use in real-time. An investor loves nothing more than a business that already works and whose owners have invested time and their own money into it. 

An MVP offers enormous flexibility so you are able to continue tweaking until you receive the ideal response. For a successful MVP development, you can contact us. Our team of experts will help create an MVP that will look favorable to mobile app investors. 

We recently helped JobGet to create an application that makes the job search process easier for blue-collar workers. From understanding the client’s vision to MVP development, our team of experts helped them to raise funds for their unique application. JobGet has bagged $2.1 million funding to date and more than 1,50,000 job seekers have been placed.

What are the stages of mobile app funding?

Now that we have seen how to get investors for an app, let’s discuss the various stages of app funding. 

1. Pre-seed: Pre-seed is the stage when your app is just a floating idea and nothing substantial has been done yet. This stage is considered an informal round because most funding comes from friends and family or it’s your own money. Funds raised in this stage are typically used to create a founding team, demos, or MVP, conduct research and collect data, and gain some early traction.

2. Seed stage: It is the second stage of funding where the focus is on the initial growth of your business. In the seed round, your mobile app startup is not yet operational, and you’re still working on improving the product. You’re looking for investments to fund further research, begin testing the product-market fit, and hire a workforce. At this stage, typically angel investors, early-stage venture capitalists, and startup incubators respond.

3. Series A: Reaching this stage of investment means you are on your way to success. At this point, you’ve established the market-product compatibility and have clearly defined the objective of your brand. You start to focus on your business and product growth. Your main focus should be on optimizing your business, marketability, and scalability of your mobile app. At this stage, venture capital firms, “super” angel investors, and family offices are the usual Series-A investors.

4. Series B,C,D, etc: Making to series B and beyond means your product has gained acceptance from users. This stage focuses on improving and adding new features to your product to attract more users. Your brand has a reputation and people are aware of your services. Now you have to take your app from a mobile app startup funding stage to a mid-size business. Funds raised at this stage are used for business acquisitions, going public, partnerships, upgrading branding levels, and engaging with new markets with constant product development and upgradation. 

Now that we have seen how to get funding for an app, let’s see how much funding one needs for an app startup. 

[Also Read: What type of mobile apps will tech investors fund in 2022?]

How much funding do you need for your app startup?

When it comes to how much funding for app startup is required, there isn’t any fixed figure to achieve. The exact number will depend on your app idea, the complexity of the app, the team, and other factors. For instance, a simple MVP with minimal features can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000. A more complex cross-platform app with APIs, on the other hand, can cost anywhere between $50,000 to $200,000. 

But don’t worry, we have already discussed the options to raise money for your startup. However, before going to the app investors, work with your full-cycle app development company to figure out the estimated cost of developing your app, functionalities, and primary purpose of the app. Without any budgetary plans in place, you risk making a monetary miscalculation that can cost you your dream.

If you receive less funding, you won’t be able to even start the app development process. On the other hand, if you receive more funds than you need, you may end up giving away your owner’s share or even your company to mobile app investors.

What to do once your app gets funding?

Once you’ve received funds from investors, what’s next? Well, your work doesn’t stop here. Your app needs continuous improvement and maintenance. Once your app is launched, keep improving your app and take feedback from users and app investors as you grow. As you move through the various stages of funding, your business will receive funds that can be used to add innovative features to the app, improve the design, and scale the business. 

Plus, with the advent of new technologies and updates in OS, your app will surely need to evolve constantly. For this reason, you must hire a capable startup development app development company that can ensure the smooth functioning of your app for a long time.

The concept of Fantasy Sports is not new, as it has been existing for many years. You must be thinking how?

Factors Affecting The Cost Of Development

When it comes to developing a real time fantasy sports app, the cost is undoubtedly one of the first considerations. In order to determine the budget for your project, you must first determine the cost of development be it through freelancing or hiring a fantasy sports app development company.

Which platform should I create my mobile app on? This is the thought that comes to your mind when you think of launching an app. When it comes to mobile apps, though, you have two options. You have the option of using Android or iOS. The platform you choose will have a big impact on the price of your project. 

Fanduel is on both Android and iOS platforms and it has been running its fantasy sports service on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for security and administration, and to make sure services run smoothly. The Amazon RDS for Aurora is used by the team for high performance.

Because Android is more compatible with a wider range of devices, developing an app for iOS is regarded to be far less expensive than developing one for Android. As a result, deciding on a platform before engaging an app development partner is critical. However, if you want to cover more territory in terms of customers, you should develop your app for both platforms.

2. Tech Requirements

After you’ve decided on a platform, the next critical consideration is the tech stack. You must be able to answer questions such as:

  • Which programming language you wish to use. Or,

  • You must also decide if you want to develop your software natively or cross-platform.

All of the above questions will help you figure out how much money you’ll need to spend on your mobile app development. It’s a good idea to talk to your development partner first so you can make an informed decision.

3. The Features

Your app’s features will ultimately determine whether it succeeds or fails. As a result, it goes without saying that the functionality your app has will influence the cost of your development project. The price of the course will vary based on the features you choose to include in your tool. If you opt to add high-end features like multiplatform support, expert analysis, live match streaming, multiple payment modes, leader boards, and so on, then the process will be more expensive.

Whatever you choose, there are some things that your real time fantasy sports app simply cannot do without, no matter how much it costs. Here is the guide to developing a fantasy app that provides a detailed description on the features, factors, and what to do.

4. Hiring a Developing Partner

It’s critical to work with a development partner who has the experience, resources, and overall goodwill to assist you in developing an app at a reasonable cost. 

How well-optimized your development process is will influence a large portion of the money you spend.

The sports betting industry is a sector that has faced many legal challenges in recent years. With the official rollout taking place in January 2021, sports betting is still illegal in some states and areas. But the best thing about this industry is that it is still growing rapidly and emerging through sports betting apps, despite having to deal with several challenges and warnings in the past.

Sports betting is currently the fastest growing sector in the global gaming industry. As per Statista, it is expected to account for a huge market share of $92.9 billion by 2023, with a CAGR of 6.9%. While it seems clear that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (global pandemic) is blocking the demand for gambling, sports betting continues to thrive thanks to the creation of new and convenient online sports betting apps programs.

Finally, with the legalization of sports and mobile betting apps, there are several best sports gambling apps that are making their way to the market.

Sports Betting Popularity

As per Dave Finn, who directs the Draft Kings account for Taylor in New York, ‘Sports betting is very popular and New Jersey is ahead of Mega in revenue,’ referring to Megabet, the UK’s most famous sports betting company.

Sports betting has become a huge industry. According to Legal Sports Report, in October 2019, Americans spent more than $12 billion in legal sports betting. Of that amount, $858 million was used for sports betting, whereas the state kept $103 million.

As per a report by Technavio, the sports betting market size will grow up to USD 106.25 billion at a CAGR of 9.70% during 2021-2025.

What To Look for in Sports Betting Apps?

Choosing the best real money betting app is not easy. There are many suppliers that offer different levels of quality, safety, and service. It will take time to get to the full ranking, but let’s take a quick look at what we think is the most important. Here are four factors that go into finding the best sports betting apps for real cash bets. 

Safety and security

Ensuring that secure sports applications are used is critical to the quality of your gaming experience. You need to have peace of mind to know that your money is safe, your bets will be fulfilled, and you will not take advantage of opportunities by putting yourself at risk. Security and safety are two of the most important criteria we always look at when creating and updating our list of recommended best sports gambling apps.

Rewards

In the event that you have two gaming applications one next to the other and they’re similar in each sense, with the exception of one gives you free cash for betting, where are you going to take your action? You should snatch that free cash! Search for huge rewards that sportsbook apps offer and are easy to clear, accessible to bettors, and cover several (if not all) sports.

Banking options

Apps for online sports betting are useless if a money transfer is difficult. You must be able to deposit funds immediately and withdraw funds at least a few hours or days later. The leading best sports betting app development for iPhone and Android offers secure and high-quality banking options.

Benefits of Mobile Sports Betting Apps

Online sports betting mobile apps have a number of advantages. Draftkings and Fanduel are the apps that have transformed the industry in a great way. Here are some of the main benefits that mobile apps offer: 

Convenience 

One of the main reasons people use their smartphones to bet is convenience. Mobile phones do not require a lot of parts to operate, they are lightweight, can be carried anywhere, and are available worldwide. This not only changes the betting experience but also allows users to place bets on the go. 

User experience

There is no doubt that all sports betting platforms are very responsive. All sports betting platforms are designed to be compatible with a variety of devices.

Think of it as a recipe for a tasteful in-app experience. With the competitive forces of iOS and Android at each other’s throats, the mercury hits the ceiling regularly for consumer expectations. 

It is critical for product developers to readily integrate AI and machine learning while delivering app functionalities in line with the mobile app tech stack

But how do you do that? Let us find out!

Mobile Application Technology Layers

Types of Mobile Applications 

Before you jump to hasty conclusions about the technology stack for mobile app development, it is foundational to agree upon the nature of the ‘app’. Chiefly, there are 3 types of mobile apps that are relevant to this discussion, and briefly described below: 

Native Apps 

They are indicative of software that is purposed to run on a specific operating system. An app that is natively created for iOS, will not run on Android and vice versa. There is a significant upside in a mobile app technology stack chosen for a native OS. For instance, they can squeeze extra-bits out of built-in mobile features such as the GPS, camera, or movement detector. 

Software updates can be transmitted without much to worry about. Although the expense incurred to build native apps can be marginally higher, they make up for it in departments like user preference, and software maximization.   

Mobile App Technology Stacks

Cross-Platform Apps  

It is a dual-purpose software that can run equally well on both android and iOS. The code and the sequence of the software retain their integrity and run perfectly on either OS. They lend a great advantage to cash-crunched teams as creating a unified block of code consumes less time and resources. However, its positives tend to have a loophole in that its quality is subpar to native apps. Process of developing mobile applications with a cross-platform view requires significantly higher service support in the form of version updates. 

TYPES OF MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

Hybrid Apps   

Hybrid apps take the best form-factor out of native apps and combine them with the advantages of web apps: websites running on the internet and not installed on a device. They are deployed using a native container with the help of a mobile WebView object. When the app is called to action, this object shares the content using a stack for mobile app development built on CSS, HTML5, and JavaScript. 

App development services working with an agile mindset report multiple benefits of modeling hybrid apps. For starters, the code is written-once-used-anywhere which reduces development costs and resources.   

Choosing Your Mobile App Development Tech Stack 

Based on the above descriptions (and a lot of Googling), you will eventually wind up with one of the above categories to design the skeletal details of your app. The following mobile app development technologies of 2021 shall help you solidify the bare essentials of a tech stack. 

Comprehensive guide to choose tech stack for your app.

Tech stack for Android mobile development

Programming Languages used: Java, Kotlin 

Java used to be a top choice for Android development until it was overtaken by Kotlin. It is easy to learn, compile and debug. Java code is inherently made to be reused in standard programs. It is platform-independent i.e. it can run on any hardware provided the user has a JVM pre-installed. That said its limitations made Google forsake its use in favor of Kotlin. A major criticism of Java has been its memory consumption which makes it slower-running than other native languages. A reason for this is its memory management practices that use garbage collectors which makes apps slower. 

Difference Between Kotlin and Java

Whereas Java code is distinguishably voluminous, Kotlin is much leaner and to the point. A tech stack for an android app that chooses Java over Kotlin, will face difficulties in innovating micro-interactions and in-app screen transitions. Kotlin is easier to maintain as it supports multiple IDEs including the Android Studio. 

Toolkit: Android Studio, Android Developers Tools 

The Android Studio is designed to give developers the freedom to create high-performance apps. The entire IDE is based on the premises of faster ideation and iteration. It allows for code interoperability along with cloud integration. With its project structure and grade-based builds, programmers can workaround APKs for multi-device compatibility. 

Tech stack for iOS mobile development

Programming Language – Objective-C, Swift 

Objective-C used to be a default choice for iOS development, until Apple, maintaining its competitive edge with Google, introduced Swift. Swift offers a long list of improvements over objective-C of which code readability is one, thanks to a concise syntax. This also makes it safe as clean code is easier to debug and maintain. This build-up of advantages makes the code executing speed faster than objective-C. 

Swift is easier to read and write

Toolkit – Xcode 

Xcode is the IDE for the iOS tech stack, particularly if you decide upon using Swift as the programming language. You can create apps that are compatible with both mobile and desktop. Also, you can download and test apps on beta-versions of stock Apple software such as iOS beta, iPadOS beta, macOS beta, watchOS beta, and tvOS beta. They also offer built-in support for GitHub and internal documentation, and an editor to create aesthetic UIs. 

Tech stack for cross-platform mobile development

Cross-Platform app development uses the same code base for multiple devices and therefore cuts short the development time manifold. Here are the most turned-to frameworks for cross-platform app development. 

React Native, JavaScript/TypeScript 

React Native is a JavaScript-based framework using which you can create apps that have the form-factor and appearance of a native application. Apps built on React native are far more stable than other frameworks. Wide support for 3rd party libraries coupled with the pre-loaded JavaScript packages that it has been designed with, makes it suitable for cross-platform app development. The reusability of code, design options to create stunning user interfaces, and technical support from the community make React Native a safe bet. 

Instagram and Skype both use React Native. 

TypeScript could also be considered for writing code for React components as error detection is relatively easier to do. It makes the apps safer for end-users. 

Xamarin, C# 

Xamarin is yet another open-source platform using which more code can be shared across cross-platform applications. The Xamarin.Forms UI framework can be leveraged to create single code-base UIs for iOS, Android, Windows apps. It uses C# as its primary computing language. Popular apps built with Xamarin include the likes of Pinterest and Slack. 

Xamarin’s Edge

Technology stack for hybrid apps

Let us now explore what stacks do most mobile app development services deploy for hybrid apps. 

Cordova

With Apache Cordova developers get the freedom to use technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It supports a range of mainstream operating systems such as Ubuntu, iOS, Android, and Windows. With its device installer format you only need to write the source code once, and subsequently pack it for the respective operating systems. Cordova has pre-designed app templates with ready-to-use code bases that mitigate development time for hybrid apps. This open-source platform offers plugins that allow apps to access a device’s hardware functionalities such as the camera, GPS, and file systems. 

Ionic 

This is an Angular-JS framework that is preferred for modeling Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Designing high-spec apps for a mobile app development company is easier with its feature-rich library of UI components. Ionic apps are pre-configured to handle cloud workloads integrating freely with AWS, Azure, and Firebase. The IDE – Appflow, is a plug-and-play suite of Mobile DevOps services that automates each app lifecycle phase. Ionic has a worldwide community of 5 million developers, so you can imagine the support in case of technical bottlenecks. Ionic framework is mostly preferred for PWA development.

How to Determine Your Tech Stack 

Being a mobile application development company in the USA we can state with authority that a tech stack cannot be a one size fits all mindset. Each toolset should be rendered as per the project requirement. Go to the drawing board and estimate your resources based on the following factors: 

Goal Setting 

Map all the requirements that your app ought to pack a punch with. After deciding its nature, native/cross-platform/hybrid lay down the marker for its integral specs and outer architecture.  

Project Estimation 

“Budget” is the elephant in the room you need to address. Post finalizing the app functionality and forecasting the required expenditures, you can customize the stack as per your needs. 

Deadlines 

As a frequently awarded mobile application development company, we at Appinventiv keep deadlines close to our heart. Based on which we decide which toolsets to invoke and get the job done in time. We recommend no different to others. 

Third-Party Integration 

Take this seriously. Concerns over cyber theft continue to halo data exchange between third-party apps. Try and close down any backdoor entries to your app that could leak user information to maleficent actors.

Final Thoughts 

The right tech stack could marry your product development efforts with widespread success. The risk of doing it otherwise pounds hard on losers. With a service staff of 600+ qualified personnel, give Appinventiv a chance to push your idea to the next level.

The world of smartphones is pretty exciting with constant changes in their landscape. With the arrival of a new device every week, the scope of these life-changing devices seems to be never-ending. 

Along with the evolving changes in smartphones, we’re also bombarded with several applications. Whether you want to book a taxi or purchase a rug, there’s a mobile application available for every purpose. 

If you’re a budding entrepreneur with an innovative and developing app idea and are looking to make billions, you’ve surely found a sweet spot. Let’s take a look at the detailed guide to build a billion-dollar application.

How to Build a Billion Dollar App?

How to Build a Billion Dollar App

1. Building a team and raising funds 

If you have a revolutionary idea to build a next million dollar app that you believe will be loved by millions of people, the first thing you should do is avoid any type of post launch mistakes and test your great idea for an app by stating it on a paper and getting feedback from the public. Figure out a problem, a solution, and translate it into an application.

Whether you use paper or photoshop, make sure your billion dollar business idea can be easily communicated and explained to others. Once you’ve made a great design, make a prototype out of it. As soon as your app gets into users’ hands, you can start getting feedback. 

To start building a team, all you need to do is find people who share the same vision as you and have the required skills to make your dream achievable. Recruitment will be a game-changing task, and you must do everything to get skilled and enjoyable people on board. 

Ask your friends, family, and even your enemies to download and use your app – and provide brutally honest feedback. Analyze your targeted audience and brainstorm different routes to reach them and use your application.

2. Capturing the product market 

As of now, you should have a prototype ready and used by people. If you have a simple business model such as gaming, you may consider releasing the first version of your app startup idea on the app stores. Otherwise, for a complicated model, you need investment for further development. 

At this point, the only thing you should care about is achieving a solid product-market fit and making sure people love your app up to an extent where they’re willing to pay for it. Keep developing a reliable user acquisition strategy. 

You also need to determine the cost of acquiring a user and how you can make it profitable. The billion dollar app idea that started as a basic model will evolve quickly now, and you need to keep validating it by testing, measuring, and analyzing with users.

Although it may be hard to make an app that people love and pay for, you must keep patience and perseverance. Once you’ve gone through this stage of hardship, the valuation of your app should be on an average near $10 million.

3. Generating revenue streams 

Now when you’ve achieved product-market fit and have an app ready that users love, your aim should be to keep growing and achieving traction by improving all the aspects of your app and figuring out how to monetize it and generate revenue. 

If you have a gaming, eCommerce, or marketplace business model, you’ve already convinced users to pay for your app. All you need to do now is improve the lifetime value of your app by holding and retaining users along with keen increments in your margins. 

In addition to providing a satisfying user experience, you also need to work your way to optimize the price points and lower the cost of customer acquisition. Keep adding new features and revenue streams to your app without compromising on usability. 

By this time, you should also land your first investor, and finally join the big bulls. This also means you should have at least a million dollars or more in your bank account, depending on your negotiation skills and traction.

4. Scaling like crazy 

After signing your first investor, you continue gaining great reviews about your app and have a clear process to address user feedback. Your team also continues to grow at an enormous rate, and you may even hit a hundred people or even more. 

Moreover, your user base should also be growing steadily and the user-retention strategy should be in place. As you reach this stage, you’ll notice that user acquisition has become predictable and systematic, along with the drowning cost of acquiring new users. 

Your company is also becoming increasingly profitable and revenues are growing at an exponential rate. This calls for the need to constantly look for product innovations and introduce more revenue streams in your business. 

Talking about the valuation of your app, everything seems to be different and you’ll no longer be treated as a startup. You’re now an established company with a very complex valuation based on your financial performance and uniqueness.

5. The big billions 

While you keep making constant progressions in the app and follow the momentum, you also need to have a clearly defined vision for your product with practical and systematic steps to realize it. The core mantra is to keep your users happy and satisfied with your app. 

The business model at this point also requires to be tuned constantly, and even small fractional improvements can yield big profits. The valuations will still be complex and you must keep a keen eye on your profits, growth, and products.

How Much Does It Cost To Build An App?

Prior to leaping directly into the cost, first of all else, you need to choose the niche of the application and its features. The prerequisite of the overall population or the demand of the user ought to be profoundly understood, and a thorough thought should be given to respond to various inquiries.

Factors That Influence App Development Cost

Features and functionality

Knowing the cost of development is an ideal opportunity to find what features impact the intricacy of the entire application. Execution of certain features can be a lengthy process, while others are moderately short and simple. Based upon the complexity of solutions, mobile app developers need to utilize third-party API or code from the scratch. Less complex solutions, thus, require standard instruments and connect with native features.

Product design

Making a special UI design is a complicated process that produces extra cost to your task. The less expensive variation suggests utilizing OS-provided things and building screens of standard components. The quantity of screen is likewise a deciding variable. Thus, cost strategies and models need to be decided before implementing any decision.

Number of platforms

It is obvious that you need to make a decision on which platform to begin from. Making a decision for the platform is the most significant and difference making character for creating mobile applications.  These platforms take over various programming languages, have diverse SDKs and use distinctive development tools. Thus, the cost varies differently if one has to develop on iOS or Android.

Backend infrastructure

When it comes to mobile app development, backend is normally an OS that provides developers with APIs to have a data trade between an application and a database. To follow user activity and access the performance of your consumer application, it is outfitted with examination. Depending on the quantity of parameters you will track and how detailed and specific the tracking will be, expenses vary.

App administration

The organization board is unquestionably an extremely helpful tool for dealing with application content, customers, and statistics. There are alternatives to adopt existing admin panel formats for your necessities, yet tracking down a good one is an issue. So it makes sense to create a satisfactory board to meet your business prerequisites.

Location and structure of team

The location of your application development team is a crucial factor affecting the product’s last cost. The expense of making an application in the US will contrast from the expense of mobile app development services in Europe or other different areas. If you want, you can opt for companies in your area like mobile app development company in USA if you live in the US or any other area where you reside. But you have to be careful while choosing a company or developer to get quality results. 

Software development rates by region

Summing Up 

Today, billions of people across the world are using smartphones and their applications daily. Moreover, in a few years, the figures will simply multiply themselves, and that’s because technology has never been so accessible and powerful before. People are making the most to develop a billion dollar app and get the best idea to satisfy customers.

Mitigating the risks of mobile app launch mistakes during the pre-launch opportunities provides the opportunity for an effective and user friendly app.

The dynamics of the mobile app industry revolve around unpredictability due to the changing trend wave and market requirements. It is hard to single-handedly pinpoint a universal reason leading to app demises as each failure offers new learning. Yet, one aspect that analysts of the old and new order mutually agree upon as a cornerstone for app success is post-launch marketing. 

Having fought our way through grim times to emerge as a global mobile app developer cohort, Appinventiv knows the importance of investing in post-launch mobile app marketing. We’ll dispel some of that wisdom today as we discuss the recurring theme of post-launch mistakes and how to avoid them. 

Mobile App Launch Blunders To Avoid  

The following stages often prove a damp ground to tread on when it comes to post-launch mobile app marketing.

Problem Statement #1 – Planning or the lack of it 

Market leaders visualize and anticipate business scenarios and layout measures to resort to in case things go downhill. Yet there are those who consider publishing their app on the app stores, the end of a project. A cross-industrial study estimated that up to 70 – 80% of new product introductions fail. There is no room for complacency. 

Solution –  Create a roadmap with probable business cases and perform thought experiments to mitigate 11th-hour developments. Delegate individual responsibilities to mitigate last-moment confusion.

Problem Statement #2 – An unknown neglect towards marketing 

Often DevOps leaders and IT practitioners have a partisan view towards developing the perfect product. Whereas that is a debatable stance on its own, they collectively disregard the need to pump cash and raise fanfare after a successful app launch. Being a 600-strong mobile application development company, our in-house experts know better. 

Solution –  Divide marketing budgets into pre and post-mobile app launch marketing actionable. The former should cover preliminary collaterals such as secondary research, defining budgets and marketing goals to partnering with influencers. Similarly, the post mobile app launch strategy should cover your social media plans, referral & retargeting campaigns as well as up ticking user engagement. 

Problem Statement #3 – Setting overly ambitious goals 

Only fools set a deadline first and begin operations later. Overestimating the delivery of the final product could be self-inflicting in terms of everlasting reputational damage. There is an art to building hype and while at it you must take into consideration a buffer for delays so that the post launch mobile app strategy could be adjusted accordingly. 

Solution – Maintain a balance between disclosing the final product launch date and sustaining user-end hype. Tease the audience with doctored leaks if you can and take early feedback. Smartphone manufacturers are a case in point. You never know their launch date until the actual event is within 2 months of the schedule.  

Problem Statement #4 – Lack of user data

Instead of leading mobile app development solutions from the front, you’d be sucked into a black hole of failures if you do not know your audience inside out. How can you fabricate the product without knowing audience demographics, their behavioral patterns, engagement enablers, and spending habits? If not, take a page out of the following self-help advice.  

Solution – If such in-depth data isn’t available readily, then partner with data vendors or social media platforms to acquire the same. Such structured data would help you extrapolate insights that eventually lead to lasting success of the app

Problem Statement #5 – App store optimization (What’s that?)

App Store Optimization is the practice of refining the app as per guidelines laid out by app publishing platforms. ASO helps an app directly feature in user searches and increases the likelihood of downloads. With an excess of 2 million apps each on the Google Play Store and Apple Store respectively, ASO is unavoidable and the ones who avoid it live to regret their decisions more often than not.

how users find apps 

Solution – Focus on optimizing the details such as the app name, title, keywords used in the description, preheaders, and monitoring customer feedback to maintain a healthy rating. This would lead to frequent features in query searches and as a result, more downloads.  

Problem Statement #6 – Confusing product messaging  

If your brand label does not help consumers identify you with your line of business then you have a problem up your sleeves. As a mobile app development company, we’ve come so far that we appreciate the significance of concise messaging. Mincing your words could cost millions in turnover, literally. 

Solution – We strongly recommend conducting surveys and periodic questionnaires to determine user expectations. Not only will this help you choose the right style guide for design but also the content-triggers that encourage a purchase order. 

Problem Statement #7 – Absence of feedback capture mechanisms 

A rather depressing statistic suggests that about 80-90% of the applications in the app store are shunned after a single-use. Functionality could share a large portion of the blame, but so does the fact that the app developers refuse to listen to their customers and capture feedback. 

Solution – App store comments are full of heartfelt feelings (and expletives in case the app sucks) coming straight from the users. As you scale the product the need to engender applicable, expected, and on-demand functionalities grow. Developers should readily capture feedback be it through ratings, comments, or other supported media. 

Problem Statement #8 – Relying on outdated software 

Technologies keep upgrading and therefore warrant an updated architecture for smartphone applications. Android and iOS release yearly updates for smartphones, but it gets complicated when a particular smartphone manufacturer alters the stock version of the OS to offer something afresh. All these intricacies make the process of keeping apps updated in terms of software specifications. 

Solution – A custom mobile app development company like ours recommends sharing newer versions of the app periodically than sporadically. The frequency should allow users to acquaint themselves with a particular set of features and only then look forward to changing. 

Problem Statement #9 – Not leveraging discovery platforms 

The proportion of zombie apps has grown with the industry size. This informal category is a place you don’t want to be because these are the apps whose total traffic is tantamount to nothing or something embarrassingly insignificant. Provided you’ve done ASO well, and the app is strong technically, one reason why you could be still lagging is not channeling traffic through app Discovery Platforms. 

Solution – Such platforms help drive meaningful traffic to your app through targeted marketing to their user base. Platforms such as PreApps and AppGratis would be a couple of examples. The investment is feasible as the chances of lead generation and conversion skyrocket by a multifold. 

Problem Statement #10 – Not factoring in MVP

Minimum Viable Products give app entrepreneurs an outlet to test their thesis on product acceptance. Following the success of apps like Uber, Airbnb, & Snapchat, MVPs became a cross-industrial rage for even offline products. Yet, there is a cohort that often glosses over this pre-market testing and validation phase. Mobile app development services like ours, know for a fact that collecting such pre-launch feedback could be paramount to future success. 

Solution – Whether developing an app in-house or partnering with mobile app development services in the USA, it is recommended you establish and maintain a close-knit network of beta users to try out the product and provide feedback as and when needed. This should be disparate from internal employees for the feedback to be considered non-partisan. 

Problem Statement #11 – Ill-priced monetization models 

Making money from your app is an art not everybody excels at. If you have a minute, do check out this guide on how to monetize your app. Adopting a model that makes no sense in a desperate bid to out-compete your peers could be fatal. On the flip side, no gospel reprimands you for testing out newer approaches and payment schemes. 

Solution – For the time being, you can choose from a bevy of pricing models such as freemium, premium, data sourcing, advertisements, and sponsorships. But who is to say if you turn out to be the ingenuine wizard who comes up with a never-before-seen subscription model that takes the industry by storm. 

Recommended Mobile App Launch Checklists 

Alright, so we’ve been through the common ideological traps that app developers tend to fall into and take misfire aim towards glory. But what is the course-correction roadmap that one should have in mind when it comes to creating a mobile app launch checklist? Well, there are different guidelines to be followed for Android and iOS. Inculcating the following steps into your app launch plan would ease the transition from pre-market to post-launch. 

Android app launch checklist 

Keep in mind the following steps while publishing apps on the Android Play Store: 

  • Take note of developer program policies 
  • Create your developer account 
  • Prioritize localization 
  • Release and promote your app on multiple platforms at once 
  • Carry out quality analysis for cross-compatibility across devices 
  • Stay within the technological distance of recent API releases 
  • Engineer your Android App Bundle 
  • Strategize around Play Store Listings
  • Promote your app with pre-registration 
  • Upload and test the Android App Bundle on Open/closed test tracks
  • Analyze pre-launch test reports 
  • Define your app’s pricing and geographies of distribution
  • Pick applicable distribution options 
  • Establish in-app products and subscriptions 
  • Set your app’s content rating for relevant age groups
  • Run the leftover checks and publish the app 
  • Begin promotions 
  • Never leave incoming feedback such as play store ratings/comments unattended 
  • Stabilize the app with further uptime quality checks 
  • Your android app has been launched. Good job! 

iOS app launch checklist 

We’ve briefly summarized the iOS launch checklist for mobile apps so you could publish your app on the iOS app store: 

  • Create app distribution certificate and profile
  • Then create your app store connect account 
  • Archive your application
  • Upload the app with Xcode 
  • Configure app-metadata with the App Store Connect record you just created
  • Submit the application so it can be reviewed by content moderators 
  • After some time, check for the status of your app 
  • If everything is fine, your app will be approved and published successfully 

Final Thoughts 

In the better part of the last decade, Appinventiv has forthrightly staked its claim as a full circle mobile app development company. Some of our most impressive work has emerged from partnerships representing iconic brands such as Domino’s Pizza. But with all humility, we say this, the best is yet to come. You can count on us for pretty much anything mobile apps and not just post-app launch correctional measures.
