Tips for successful Android App Development
Android app development UAE has been on rise since last few years, and with mind-blowing technologies like Machine Learning, AI, Deep Learning etc., at the verge of casting a shadow of influence over the digital space, the sector is going to get even more congested. But then, if you are determined to take it up as a career option, you do stand a chance to achieve great success in the field. So, the one who are adamant to fight their way to the top as an Android developer, there are some important things they should keep in mind. In this article, we will take a look at some of the radical aspects of Android app development, which are as follows:
Know the latest trends
Users always keep themselves updated with the latest app trends, and they adapt quickly to the new ones before the mobile app development UAE industry responds. Therefore, equip/update your apps with nothing less than the most popular features being provided by the best apps on Google Play Store/App Store. So, in a way, catching up with what the biggest players in the industry are doing, at all time, is imperative. Another thing is that as technology advances, a developer must also implement features that solve some of the trending issues of those times.
Don’t neglect the design of an app
An app must impact users the moment they first see it on Google Play. In order to stand out among all other competitor apps, a developer should make an effort to build a product as to be get the attention of users as possible. Getting a unique design for your app is important because you may not be the first one to build an app in that particular niche, but you may become the last one people routed to because you served things uniquely. For example – there have been many messenger apps prior to WhatsApp, but WhatsApp unique, simplistic design has been the most successful in years, and continues to dominate other messenger apps popping up every now and then.
Listen to the users
This is the best way to earn users’ trust and loyalty, and can increase the number of downloads on the store, which can magnetically attract more downloads, which will attract even more, and it goes on. But then to make sure people will accept your app, you need to understand and accept the issues they are facing. The apps with unique ideas don’t just pop out of nowhere, rather they are results of response towards the requirements of users.
Understand the Android Market
While developing an android app, a developer should know how Android users behave towards different features of an app. It is true that Android has considerably more users than any other Operating System in the world. However, android users don’t pay as much as iOS users, they are more likely to download apps that follow a freemium model and top revenues comes mostly from games. Also, Android users have moved on from apps that require too much effort to be used. Hamburger menu, though not a trend anymore, has become a standard requirement for users in most of the apps as it fits more features in less space and requires a simple swipe to be brought up.
Test your app
Launching a great app but with flaws is a bigger mess than launching an ‘okay’ app without bugs. As a general rule a developer should keep in mind that never release an app without any prior testing. Frequent tests for each phase of development process are necessary to fix possible crashes or improve UX and UI. Even after the launch of app, keep a backend-support and maintenance team ready to tackle any issues as soon as they appear.
