Tempted by the benefits, if you are looking forward to building a mobile app, we are here with some tips and tricks that will ensure a stunning app that helps you achieve your business goals. Let’s have a look at each one of them in detail:

  • Know Your Audience

Begin by narrowing down the scope of the audience and identify which audience you are trying to address through your mobile app. As soon as you understand the target audience, define the process to gather data. 

We would recommend you check market trends and collect user feedback to figure out what your audience needs. You can ask questions on forums, conduct polls, follow stats, or build an MVP version of the mobile app to collect feedback. Check even the smallest source available online that helps you define your perfect audience.

  • Make Sure You Offer Value

After you have a complete idea of your audience, their needs, and concerns, make sure you offer value through your mobile application. Right from navigation to user interface and information to functionality, ensure that you deliver nothing less than quality and value to your audience. 

By offering value we mean that your user is motivated to download the mobile application. Also, it should be useful for you and your customers where a perfect combination of consumer needs, business goals, and tech solutions would work synchronously. 

  • Know Your Competitors

Understanding your competition is crucial to get an idea about the revenue stream that your mobile app can generate. Following this, you can go through the apps available in the market pertaining to your industry niche.

This way, you will get insights into the latest trends that your competitors are following and what are the unique features that separate them from their competition. 

Moreover, you can strategize about how you would position your application in the market and work on the pricing later on.

  • Focus on User Input

Since user input is important, make sure that you collect user feedback and comments. For collecting the crucial user inputs you need to embed such features that can help you collect the user feedback automatically. 

The more you focus on user input the more it will help enhance the usability and user experience.

  • Better Navigation Placement

Common navigation placement in mobile design is to hide the menu under a hamburger icon somewhere near the top of the web page. When clicked, the mobile menu might drop down, open from the side, or fill the entire screen allowing the user to easily navigate to other pages on the website. 

This is an important design tip for mobile websites to help de-clutter the content and make it more easily accessible.

After getting the best tips and tricks for mobile app development, let’s have a look at the latest mobile app development trends.

Enterprise web applications are web-based applications that allow you to handle your company’s internal and external needs and operations. A web application gears you towards a digital transformation and helps meet the modern needs of business in this digital world

Now, it is important to note here that an enterprise web application can be restricted for internal use such as inter-departmental communication or offer wide-range external services such as managing customer relationships.

  • Biometric Authentication

                                                                                   Image source

Mobile biometric authentication is an approach to multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify an individual's identity that uses possession of a mobile device as a first factor and use of that device to verify a unique biometric identifier as a second factor.

Biometric authentication compares data for the person's characteristics to that person's biometric "template" to determine resemblance. The reference model is first stored. The data stored is then compared to the person's biometric data to be authenticated.

Common Mobile App Development FAQs


We understand that as a business serving customers, your primary expertise doesn’t lie in mobile app development. As a result, you might have plenty of concerns and queries to ask. 

Fret not, below we have covered some common queries that every non-technical person has regarding mobile application development. 

1. How Feasible is my Idea?

One of the most common app development questions is whether or not the app that is soon going to be designed, devised, and developed is even feasible. 

Well, the only way to get an answer to this question is to test the idea in the field of real prospects. You will have to take your idea, create a working prototype and then make it open in the public to then see if it is something they would be interested in.

Until you take your idea to the prospects or at least see how apps similar to yours have performed in the market, there is no way to know if yours would succeed.

2. Who are my Target Customers?

One of the most impactful mobile app development questions is to know who you are making the app for. Before you start with anything, you have to know who the end-users of your app are.

A comprehensive study of the app user demographics is what you need to know who the app is for. Focus your study on finding out about your end users’ age, buying habits, the locality they belong to, the challenges they face, the time they spend on their devices, their preferences in terms of security, amongst other things.

Planning your mobile app development process around your target customers will only bring you many steps closer to app success.

3. What is the Mobile App category?

While this is a no-brainer, your business industry defines the category of your app. However, for those startups that begin with an app idea, make sure your app can be put under any of the categories that are prevalent in the Play Store and Apple Store.

Knowing the app category will cut down your competitive research time to a great extent. So, I’ll recommend knowing both the primary and at least one secondary category your mobile app belongs to.

4. Are there similar apps in the market?

Competition holds a very important place in not just the app development process but also in deciding the future of an application and as a result in our list of mobile app development FAQs. The first step in the competitive analysis is to know if there are similar apps in the app stores like yours.

Gaining this information will help you get answers to not just the questions related to what all your app should have but will also give you insights on what is working for your competitors and what isn’t.

5. How would I protect my app idea?

Finding ways to protect an app idea before it gets copied is one of the most common mobile app questions we come across. Truth is, you will have control over your app idea till it is launched in the market. 

Once deployed, the second your competitors see the positive reviews, they will try and implement the idea in their mobile application. Thus, it is crucial to have your unique app idea patented. However, that also works only on some levels.

Meanwhile, while you are at the ideation cum conceptualization stage, you can protect your idea from getting shared by signing an NDA with the app development agencies you are in talks with.

At the end of the day, the only way to protect your app idea is to act on it before your competitors do.

6. How much time would it take for the app to develop?

Another one of the realistic mobile app development questions is the time it would take to develop an app. Depending on the complexity of the application, you should at least have a rough idea of how much time you should expect the app to be developed.

While usually, it takes somewhere around 6 to 7 months to finish the app development process straight from ideation to launch, some technical apps can even take up to a year or even more. You don’t always have to wait that long for your development process to end.

Measure this time against the time you have decided upon for launching your app and then decide if you want to create an MVP first or wait till the whole app is fully developed before launch.

7. What would be the cost of developing the app?

Like Time, Cost is another factor that depends entirely on the number of features you are planning to have in your mobile app. Getting a quote on the price range from different app development agencies will help you form and fix a budget. 

To make it easier for you to estimate the cost, we have created a guide titled – How much does mobile app development costs, which would help get you a range that you must keep aside.

Meanwhile, here are the factors that compose the complete cost of the project –
⦁    Designing
⦁    Coding
⦁    Development
⦁    Testing
⦁    App Integration with existing systems
