Get into the shoes of end-users

Most developers make this very basic mistake of thinking as a developer, and not as an end-user. Give some time to understand the purpose served by your app, and how end users are going to use it. There are different factors which can help grab end-user’s attention to your app. For some it might be simplicity, for others it might be the functionality of app. Before starting your app, you must understand the mindset of your end-user. Define your target audience, create and app that they won’t only like, but love.

Experience is also very important

Having good functionality in an app is important, bit what is more important is overall experience of using it. Many mobile app developers make this mistake of concentrating only on functionally while ignoring the experience part, you shouldn’t do it. Experience has come to be the most intriguing factor these days, that define the success or the failure of the application. If you understand the mindset of your end users well, giving a good experience will be easy. Giving a visually appealing interface which requires minimum inputs from user can be a good example of app with a good experience for en-users.

Don’t overload the app with lot of features

More features do not necessarily mean a better user-experience, and it is true most of the times. Though as a mobile app developer, you would like to have as many features as you could incorporate, at times this is not what end-users want. Do not get carried away and use all the latest features in the application to build a highly feature rich and modernized app, you might end up losing the comprehensibility and usability of the app, and that too for the features that were not even necessary at the first place. Don’t over load the app, think before incorporating any feature, do it only if it is required.

Security is very important

Many developers make mistake of ignoring the importance of security in their app, you shouldn’t make this mistake. Make security a priority: From the beginning, you must address app security and data integrity. Any glitches in the security department of the mobile application only shows the lack of sincerity and effort being put in the entire application development process. The three main facets of the mobile application development, which you just have to make sure are perfectly secure are – work flow, data and functionality. Any technical fall out at any of these three levels can prove to be really devastating.

Test, test and test again

Testing is another very important part of any app development process. Before releasing the app, you have to ensure its functional attributes are up to the best levels. Do the functional testing and make sure it can respond to different mobile screen sizes. There should not be any broken or obsolete code in your app. Also, make sure that you perform user acceptance test(UAT) on your app.
