Let’s imagine that your app is already at the app store, helps people, resolves their problems, and you celebrate the success. Sounds nice, don’t you think? It’s time to turn this vision into reality. Although a start is easier when you know what to prepare for. So let’s dive into the details. We will explain what you need to know before you turn to a development company and show you how the development process looks like.
The best apps’ ideas are those that make real change or resolve a common problem for a lot of people. Therefore, you should ask yourself if your idea brings new value, brings change.
After that, think about the audience. Remember that your app’s success moves around users engagement. Your audience may be from a particular industry, gender, age group, income group or profession. Who are they? Answering these questions, you can create a User Persona.
Next step is to do the market research. Firstly, find out if anyone already created a similar app. If yes, look at their reviews, ratings, search for users’ feedback. Secondly, seek for what is missing and what can make your app stand out. Focus on how your app can be more attractive to your audience.
Now it’s time to define your apps’ features based on audience and market research. At this stage, you need to polish up your vision, define your story and mission. What is more, you should identify your monetization strategy. How do you want to make money on your app?
Moreover, you need to think about the platform you want to launch your app on. You can choose a native app on iOS or Android but also decide on a cross-platform app development or a Progressive Web App development. The last two options are cheaper if you want to create two apps. The development is faster so you can quickly get ahead of the competition and expand your reach.
The last step you should take before turning to mobile app development company is creating documentation. It should present all your ideas and research in shareable form. You have to prepare yourself for a briefing phase. Creating specifications, features list or user stories makes it easier to communicate your vision to developers.

After choosing a company, you still actively participate in app creation. Although your main responsibility will be to give feedback and assess every step in the process. Here’s a short outline on how this process looks like.
At first, a designer works on wireframes based on your features list and user stories. Sketches represent how a user can navigate through the app and what information is on each screen. After that, a designer produces mock-ups to make the app look and feel good.
Once a design is ready, the development process starts. You should know that mobile app development is an iterative process. In other words, an app is built in a series of cycles, according to Agile methodology. After each stage, developers present you with the progress, and you can give feedback to a team. This is also how we organize our work at Appstronauts!
After each stage, an app should be tested. QA tests let you and the team make sure how the app runs, and if it has any bugs. QA helps control the quality, cost, and timeline.
It’s time to share your mobile app with the audience. App stores have different policies regarding adding a new app. Android does not review newly submitted app but iOS reserves the right to review and approve your app before it goes live. Now you also should market and promote your product.
After the launch, your app will require some updates regarding functionalities and design. Make sure that mobile app development company you chose provides proper technical support and maintenance services after the launch.
If you seek the mobile app development company that helps with creating documentation, crafts user-friendly designs, has skilled developers and provides support after releasing an app – you came to the right place!
