11 tips for a successful app
Business Insider featured an article by this dude, Brian Akaka from Appular, which is well worth reading.
The tips are basically:
- design a beautiful app icon
- don’t ask for ratings too early
- try hard to get Apple to feature you
- focus on impressing users quickly
- keep it simple
- ensure it looks gorgeous
- know your market & set your price accordingly
- or produce an uber app if you can afford to worry about commercials later
- a great app description is critical
- ask for a fresh perspective & act on it
- consider old ad techniques too
But you should read the full article.
We at AppsArabia are interested in providing investment for app projects that are commercially viable. This means they have to generate revenue and, for them to generate revenue, they have to add value to consumers by meeting a demand. So some tips from us are:
- do a simple focus group to test that people are going to want your app & that they are going to be prepared to pay for it (how much?)
- consider how you will get your app to the target market (the appropriate App Store)
- how will people pay for your app (are you relying on them having a credit card)?
And, obviously, the cost of creating the app (i.e. the level of funding from AppsArabia) should be sensibly modest. As a rough guide, we expect the app to have a realistic revenue forecast which can pay back the cost of development within 3 to 6 months of net revenue.
