It\u2019s a common knowledge that the mobile app market is evolving and expanding at an astonishing speed. The number of users of mobile phones and mobile apps is exploding all over the world. Mobile app developers focus on developing better apps that can stand out from the crowd. There exist several misconceptions concerning mobile apps that you can find in this article. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As of March 2017, Android users were able to choose between 2.8 million apps. Apple’s App Store was the 2nd largest app store with 2.2 million available apps, <\/span>according to Statista<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>The competition in the market is fierce.<\/b> According to Gartner<\/span><\/a>, less than 0.01% of consumer mobile apps will be considered financially successful by their developers in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n What are some common misconceptions, myths or uncertainties regarding mobile apps that developers should know?<\/span><\/p>\n Generally, app development requires at least 4 to 12 months. Games take longer to develop because of graphics and other things. <\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not a good idea to charge for your new app. The majority of users are on the lookout for free apps. If you aim at generating revenue, start with in-app advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n If you believe \u201csmaller the app, smaller the cost and faster to make it,\u201d you aren\u2019t right. \u00a0Any mobile app is associated with complexities concerning its development.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s important to apply the right marketing strategy. Marketing plays a major role in motivating users to try out the app.<\/span><\/p>\n Graphics aren\u2019t the only important things that attract users to download the app. The success of your application isn\u2019t only based on graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n You should develop an app that can work both on iOS and Android devices. \u00a0Otherwise, you\u2019re risking to lose customers.<\/span><\/p>\n There is no need to add extra features that aren\u2019t necessary at all. Your purpose shouldn\u2019t be making your app stuffed with unimportant features. Instead, focus on making your app easy to use and operate. <\/span><\/p>\n Acquiring customers takes a lot of time and efforts. You should be patient because customers won\u2019t come at once. You should use the right marketing strategy, and it takes a lot of time and effort to build a strong user base.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, updating your app is necessary. Don\u2019t fail to update your app regularly. By the way, if consumers don\u2019t update the app, they aren\u2019t likely to return to your app again. <\/span><\/p>\n Even if you have finished the development of the app, it\u2019s not the end. You still have a lot of work to do after the release of the application. This includes bug fixes, responding to user concerns and putting them into implementation. <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s consider <\/span>Pinngle<\/b><\/a>, an instant messaging (IM) app<\/b> developed by Zigma Telecom SIA and launched in October 2016. Thanks to its great calling and messaging features, as well as the right marketing and development strategies, Pinngle has already been installed by almost 5 million people worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\n Pinngle<\/b> is <\/span>free<\/b> and is developed as a <\/span>cross-platform<\/b> instant messaging and voice over IP (VoIP) mobile application. The company provides <\/span>regular updates<\/b>. Pinngle is developed with <\/span>simplicity, ease of use, affordability, speed, high-quality, and security <\/b>in mind. That\u2019s the reason why this fine chat app has turned into a great <\/span>alternative to even the most popular messaging apps<\/b><\/a> available these days. <\/span><\/p>\n Avoiding the above-mentioned misconceptions or uncertainties about mobile apps will help your mobile application reach the masses and cement its place among the other apps already available in the market. By taking the right steps and following a sound strategy, you can build a strong foundation for future growth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s a common knowledge that the mobile app market is evolving and expanding at an astonishing speed.
