- Come with clear-cut strategy
Before creating an app, you have to be clear with the purpose of your app. Why are you going to build an app? Is it beneficial for the users or community? Which is the targeted audience?

For example: If you are a Mobile application development company in India & want to build an app for such community that belongs to India where a number of Android users are plenteous & Apple users are negligible, then to construct an app for iPhone is worthless. The audience plays an important role here.
The Second thing to consider is, Is your upcoming app available for free or user needs to pay to install it? Be careful here because a majority of the users are not willing to pay & prefer free app against paid. In this situation, an in-app purchase will be the best option. In the in-app purchase, certain features are available for free while some features are paid. If users will find something worthy in your app, they will definitely shift to the paid one.
- Simplicity at it’s Best
Whatever the thing is, simplicity is the key to success over the years. The same principle will be applied in the application also. Your app should be given better user-experience. There is no meaning of app that is having useless features. Make your app as easy as possible to use. At the first launch, just add necessary features, after that know the users. Do the market research & find out the reaction of users about your app. Upgrade your app as per the reaction and feedback of the users & release the second version of the app and so on. - MarketingMarketing is the simplest & most effective way to make your app successful. No matters how effectual your app is, it will not give you the positive result until it will not reach to the targeted community. Marketing fills this gap & builds a bridge between users & your app. Maximum users are engaged with your app via marketing.
