A 5 Step Guide to Designing an App with Little or No Technical Skills


Method #1: The Remix Technique

One method for concocting an extraordinary application thought is to place a curve on a current thought or attempt to consolidate components from different applications that you like.

This happens constantly and produces extraordinary outcomes!

For instance, Words with Friends, a well-known portable game from Zynga is fundamentally Scrabble however online with social and multiplayer highlights that make it simple to remember the big picture in short pockets of extra energy.

This is none more clear than with the huge number of dating applications out there. Each month there is by all accounts a pristine dating application coming out that objectives an alternate crowd or with a bunch of highlights (generally not new) that aren't in "other" dating applications.

This is the way you can do it for yourself:

Consider a couple applications that you utilize all the time. Is there a way that you could take the most valuable elements and merge them together to shape another kind of application?

Got your application through juices streaming? Jump to the subsequent stage!

Strategy #2: Scratch your own tingle

I love this strategy in light of the fact that generally, the easiest thoughts produce the best outcomes. These basic thoughts seldom emerge from a talk for application thoughts.

Rather they're brought into the world from an issue that you face yourself throughout everyday life. Odds are assuming you have this issue and you're attempting to observe an answer for it, others are too.

On the off chance that the issue can be tackled with an application, that is a truly valid justification to make one!

Record any of these thoughts regardless of whether you know an application as of now exists to tackle this issue in light of the fact that as you'll find in the subsequent stage, there might be a chance to make a preferred application over what presently exists.

Procedure #3: Improve a current application

Have you utilized an application and thought, "It could be such a ton better if this would do X"? Assuming this is the case, that is the inventive flash of a great potential application thought!

There's a dependable opportunity to get better so assuming you believed that an application was woefully deficient with regards to a valuable element, odds are you weren't the main one to imagine that.

On the off chance that the first application creator isn't continually refreshing and working on the application, then, at that point, there's a chance for you to make a shockingly better application.

One method for sorting out if you're correct about this is to check the audits and evaluations for the first application.

Are individuals griping about exactly the same thing? Could it be said that they are whining about something else? Is the application creator paying attention to the criticism?

As you will see, paying attention to client input and working on your application in view of that criticism is presumably the solitary main thrust to the outcome of an application.

A missing application creator is condemning their application to a sluggish passing of a client wearing down.

The following stage is to approve your plan to ensure that it gets an opportunity to flourish in the application store.

Stage 2

Do cutthroat statistical surveying

Presently we really want to sort out whether or not the issue that your application addresses are being tackled by other applications.

**NOTE** If your motivation to make an application is to get some past involvement simultaneously (and not duke it out with different folks) you can jump to the subsequent stage 🙂

Try not to be dispirited assuming you see other applications in the App Store that as of now tackle the very issue that your application does. Recall what I said before, there are no novel thoughts and there is consistently space for upgrades.

All things considered, this can be something worth being thankful for on the grounds that that lets you know that your thought is practical and there is a genuine requirement for it. That is the reason there is a contest!

The key is to reveal HOW WELL the need is being met by these other existing applications.

Possibly, these applications might be outdated or the application creator might have quit refreshing them.

Or on the other hand, perhaps not a single one of them meets the characteristic of what the crowd REALLY NEEDS and WANTS.

Application Store Reviews

Picture source

Look at the appraisals and surveys of any contending applications you find. Observe the accompanying:

Application Name

Highlight set

Cost/adaptation conspire

Application distributer

Last refreshed

Appraisals and Reviews

Downloads

You should make a grid or calculation sheet to monitor your outcomes. This examination that you're doing right currently will make the beginning stage for the elements to remember for your own application and which ones to zero in on first.

You're searching for this:

Application Name

This is basically only for distinguishing proof purposes to monitor the different applications you'll investigate. Certain individuals really do put watchwords as a feature of the application name too. As you go through the rundown of the contending applications, check whether you notice particular words that continue to come up in the title of the application and consider involving such a catchphrase for your application title.

Include Set

Record every one of the highlights for each contending application. Make note of:

What are the center elements that all the contending applications have

What are the elements extraordinary to every one of the contending applications

What highlights may be totally missing from any of the current applications

Later on, when we take a gander at the audits, you'll likewise attempt to check whether clients notice explicit highlights that they love or disdain.

Cost/adaptation

Is it a one-time expense for the application? Is sans it however adapted in another manner? The explanation it's essential to observe this is two overlap:

How do the clients like how it's adapted? For instance, certain individuals disdain advertisements and would prefer to pay for an application than manage promotion standards inside the application.

You might possibly adapt your application in an unexpected way. For instance, if the application is great however excessively costly, you can track down alternate ways of adapting your application.

Application distributer

Who distributed the application? Is it an individual or an organization? (Or then again is it a one-man organization?)

The point is to see who you're facing. Enormous organizations have huge spending plans for advertising groups and regularly have a group of individuals simply dealing with a solitary application. It would be difficult to contend head-on. I'm not saying don't contend however we could have a novel point with our application instead of attempting to fight it out including for highlight.

On the off chance that it's a singular's name, it's regularly a solitary individual and that provides us with a smidgen of consolation assuming you're intending to approach this by itself.

Now and then if the application distributor is an organization name, it could simply be the organization that the individual has enlisted. Visit the organization site inclined to attempt to sort out whether or not it's a solitary individual or a major organization.

You'll frequently find your solution by visiting the contact or about page. On the off chance that there's a whole group on the about page or then again assuming there's a location for a place of business on the contact page, it's likely a sizable organization.

Last refreshed

You need to sort out how well this application is being kept up with. In the event that the application creator hasn't refreshed in quite a while, there's a chance for you to take the portion of the overall industry. Anyway, on the off chance that the creator is oftentimes refreshing the application, you'll need to make a note of this since this application will contend with you effectively.

Appraisals and Reviews

How can clients rate this application? If the application is appraised gravely, attempt to sort out why. Is it an absence of elements? Is the application broken? This knowledge will assist you with staying away from those traps.

On the other side, if the application is evaluated exceptionally, download it and give it a shot for yourself, really focusing on the list of capabilities and client experience. You'll need to filter through the client audits to see the reason why clients like this application to such an extent. This will direct you by the way you configure, plan and focus on the elements for your own application.

Whether the application is evaluated inadequately or profoundly, there's something to learn here. Filter through each and every survey and sort out what individuals are talking about and why they're saying it. This is important client criticism that you didn't need to pay for (regarding dollars or blood and sweat) to find out!

Downloads

The quantity of downloads for an application isn't composed on the App Store application posting yet there are instruments out there to "spy" on applications and get this data as a gauge. For instance, SensorTower is one such instrument that we should see the assessed number of the number of downloads of an application for nothing.

For instance, here are Netflix's details:

Approve your thought

Presently on the other side, while perhaps not much rivalry exists for your application thought, it may be the case that it's such a new and clever thought that nobody has at any point considered it or it may be the case that the thought isn't suitable.

Begin by deconstructing your thought a smidgen so you can concisely convey the thought, crowd, and reason for the application in 30 seconds to somebody. Then, at that point, work on conveying that brief presentation to yourself in the mirror so that you're open to saying it.

It would be miserable for somebody to excuse an incredible application thought since they can't comprehend it or the informing is obfuscated.

At the point when you have an unmistakable portrayal of your application thought and you've rehearsed your clarification, have a go at pitching it to your nearby loved ones. These individuals will not hold back to come clean with you. Request that they argue for the other side and attempt to punch holes in your application thought.

That might uncover something you hadn't pondered or it could drive you to address something you neglected in your energy.

On the off chance that you're getting great energy about your application thought from this progression up until this point, we should continue on!

The more individuals you test out your plan to, the better. Outsiders, companions of companions, individuals on the web, and so forth. Feel free to convey your thought. Simply recall this knowledge from Shark Tank Investor Chris Sacca - "Thoughts are modest, execution is everything." If you've gotten this far, you most certainly adopt a sober-minded strategy to your objectives which is something to be thankful.
