Let’s face it, who needs yet another tip calculator or flashlight app? Coming up with something no one has seen before can obviously set you apart. But coming up with the next big thing isn’t always easy. The first thing you’ll want to do when launching any type of app is study your competitors.
With droves of apps already in the marketplaces, Apple and Google aren’t starving for new apps, meaning they can easily delay acceptance of an app if it doesn’t create a compelling experience.“Focus on delighting people and making your product usable,” Varghese says. “Fancy animations and graphics are fun, but if they serve no purpose, eliminate them.” Study how people interact with your app and make improvements as necessary.
