After discussing the first three steps up to prototyping, the next step for an Ideal App Development Process is User Experience/ User Interface.

What is User Experience?

Why we need User Experience for our mobile App?

When somebody comes to your app they are clear about

• What to do with your App?

• How to do?

• Where are buttons in your App?

• How to use Buttons?

• What do I need to in order to get where I want to get?

There should be clear navigation for your user to know: This is the home page, this is where I can buy stuff, anything & everything should be very clear.

There are millions of mobile App launched every day. But when we go to the App Store & Play Store w see that the average rating is 2.5, 2.6 for an app that’s really low. So, what you can do to avoid it is proper App Store Optimization & User Experience.

If your app can hook the users, then your App will get a good review.

Your App must have seamless UI/UX so that it is easy to navigate and use for the end-user. If users find your app hard to use, they may not use it at all.

User Experience is critical if you developing your app, you must put a lot of time, energy & focus into this part of your Mobile App development because this is what users expect from you.

What's the idea of Prototyping?  

Basically, a low cost, low-risk approach for developing your product & evaluate whether it should be developed or not.  Instead of a theoretical plan on paper, you build a basic model of your App & see whether it is actually viable and practical.  

You can test the prototype with some users, close friends & your own company stakeholders with it. So, you can know whether you should invest more resources and energy into this product. Anybody who is an expert app developer should know the ideal App Development Process.

So, prototyping is an essential part of your product development for your Mobile App before you go into the real design & development steps.

The second step is “Strategy & Planning”  Your idea is valid doesn't mean go ahead & design & develop the app. No! First, you need a strategy for how long the app is going to be developed is one of the parts. You should plan for:  

Why are you doing this? 

What are the objectives of your Business? 

Where do you see your business after 1 year?  

So, you need to have a complete strategy & planning about How your app is going to be developed? 

How much cost you are going to pay for the team or agency?  

You know most of the businesses gather & put all the investment in the app development process. But when there is the time to launch it & market it they don't have anything to spend on advertisement. 

If you have the best product in the world but if you don’t advertise it or market them it’s of no use.  So, you need to allocate a precise budget for each step of the Process, Marketing, Launch, and Advertisement. Thus, the budget is not the only thing that your app developing process is going to need.  Do you need a comprehensive strategy for everything like How your app is going to be distributed? 

Which channel are you going to use?  Start Building presence on the Social Media Channels & those where you want to actually market your app. 

There is a lot of things involved in the strategy & planning of a Mobile App.  If you want to know further details & the exact strategy for your Mobile App you can contact us & we are happy to help you.

The Ideal App Development Process is the complete cycle that you need to follow in order to get success with your App.  

Idea Validation The most important thing before building an app is to validate your idea to see if it is actually workable, marketable & if people are actually in the need of something like this.  

Before you go ahead & hire a team & starting paying them to do your market research. Carry out a survey. Send out a questionnaire to your people in your family, in your social network get them filled that whether this problem you want to solve is a valid problem.  

Does your audience need these products or services? What are they willing to pay for it? How much they are willing to engage with such an idea/services?  

This is the first & most important step before you incur any cost before you pay anyone before you involve anyone. Just know your idea is validated. It is an actual need of the people.
