5 Factors to look over to make your mobile app Super-Perform

87% of C-Level executives say they have a formal mobile strategy but it seems that more than 75% of the mobile apps that are uploaded everyday fails to gain the momentum and ultimately fumbles somewhere. I am talking because mobile applications have dominated the way online commerce world works. Not only the commerce world but the other sectors are affected strongly because of this. There is only one thing you can do about it- Take Action. Yes, if you don’t do anything now, then there is a 90% chance of your business going down.


Let’s talk of the other side. The business which had mobile applications developed as their startup-need or a catalyst, also failed to maintain the acceleration. Why? In this article, we will talk about the other side- the factors that are responsible for downgrading the mobile apps and eventually the business.  Everyone has a smart phone and wants to perform every action using their phone.

Let us get into the details of these factors:

Incompatible to Cross platforms

You refer your friend to download the mobile application you loved but the only problem is that he has iPhone and when he installs it, he  doesn’t feels the same about the app. That is not good. Why would this happen? It’s because the application is not made compatible for all platforms. You can’t just make the mobile app for android or iOS, at least looking at the cut throat scenario today. You will directly cut down the half of the ocean since today’s e-ocean is made of both largely. Thus, if you consider this element in mind and use it as shield, there is no way your mobile app will downperform.

Lengthy Beginning Process

The sign up, sign in or log in should be simple and easy. It says ‘Not Lengthy’. Some applications ask for birth date, birth place, etc. Is that necessary? People don’t have time for such silly things. The developers just need to keep in mind that this is definitely not going to work. For instance, if there is only 4-6 empty box to sign up, anyone will be willing to do it rather than making it 2 page bundle full of questions.

Intuitive Design

First impression is the best impression. You enter into a new house, be it of friends or guest, and you judge it from the first inside look when you step your feet. It’s all about the design when the users have entered your house. It’s upto you that you want them to be their house or home. Design, to be precise, Intuitive design, that means how the user will like to have your home to be in, plays a very important part in super boosting the leverage of your business.

Marketing Strategy

Your application is multi platform, excellent designed and has the simplest sign up process but the promotion is not up to the mark. You know that the movie to be released will be worth watching once but what if you don’t know at first place that the movie is releasing. Well, that is the part where you can’t blame anything but the marketing strategy.

Security Breach


When there is a risk of your personal data to leak, would you even consider it for any bargain? Then, it’s clear that it would be the same with the mobile applications. No user would like a security breaching. Thus, this is also one of the vital and significant factors which if used positively then be it any season of the year, your mobile application would roll over the audience totally.

Now, you ought to be aware about these factors if you want to dominate the app development market and be the pioneer of the app development company.

Why Most Mobile Apps Fail?

Why Mobile Apps Fail
Market of mobile app is running thick and fast. Many apps are launched day-to-day but all these apps do don’t get success in the market. WHY? Building a mobile app is not just sufficient for the company. They must try to build a business in the market.

Target Audience - “Adapting From The Influencers”
Firstly, the target audience of the mobile app has to be fixed. Promotional strategies are not pre-defined so as to get the app run longer. Moreover, mobile market research of previous apps is not done to examine the significance of own product. Keeping it simple and straightforward is another task that most mobile app developer does not follow. With the intent of making a hi-fi app, mobile app development companies deliver such complicated product that it seems a burden to the user. Trying to inculcate everything in a small package of app towards other apps because same featured app are available in plenty.

Features - “At The Cost Of Actual Usability”
Shorter battery life, graphics and visual effects that are not appealing, high storage space in mobile are some of the other reasons which lead to mobile application failure. Mobile app developer needs to think as a user before developing the app and understand demand of the user. Adapting the new things may not be easy for the user so by studying the competition in the market, try to give them something that may have edge over the others. Stick to only one concept for which the app has been developed. Irrelevancy of the app ruins the sustainable development of the app in the market after its publishing.

Marketing - “Strength Can Turn Into Weakness”
Marketing is another most important aspect that most mobile app development companies fail to do. Mobile marketing is a crucial in this vast ocean of app world. When you have worked months over to some design, formatting, UI and other aspects of the app, then why to shadow the marketing part of it? Give one prominent reason to the user to enhance the utility of mobile app and market accordingly. The best way to achieve this is by offering them free app or making them one time pay. Regardless of the fact that mobile app developer gives classy features and marvelous display, if the product is not marketed properly it will surely fail.

Mobile App Development Company thus needs to ensure that developing an app as well as framing its future resides in their hands. So better to keep an eye on ever-changing market and let the user distinguish yourself from others.
