Mobile app development has proven to be a profitable industry for every business that invests in it. Many businesses spend 50 percent of their marketing budget on mobile ads because a large number of people rely on their mobile phones daily. Developing a mobile app is not a walk in the park. It takes a lot of time and resources to get the design and final product ready for your target audience.
The last thing you will want as an app developer or as an app owner is for your app to fail after you launch. If your app fails after launch, it means all your hard work has been for nothing. The reason some apps fail can be because of some of the decisions you took before you launched the app. We are going to talk about some of the mistakes you have to avoid if you want your app to succeed in the various app stores.
Pre-launch Mistakes
Beta Testing
Mobile app users hate it when they have to continuously use an app that crashes or glitches during use. This is one of the main reasons why some apps fail after they are launched because they crash too much. Beta testing helps you to access your app before you launch it for your target audience. It helps you to identify some of the problems your app has during the final stages. You must take beta testing seriously because it helps you to provide a better user experience. Most developers don’t carry out enough beta testing on their apps before they launch, which is a risky thing to do.
Missed Pre-launch Opportunities
Most app developers or app owners spend so much time investing in the development of their app they forget about pre-launch marketing. Pre-launch marketing helps you to advertise your app for your target audience to take note of you before you finally launch your app. You might have a great app ready for the public but without pre-launch marketing, no one will know your app exists. Investing in pre-launch marketing campaigns exposes the app to your target audience. It also alerts your users to prepare for the launch of your app. The use of social media is one of the best ways of marketing your app especially if you are running on a tight budget.
Poor App Store Optimization (ASO)
App Store Optimization is similar to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The main difference is that SEO is meant for websites while ASO is meant for mobile apps. When you go to either Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, the apps with the most downloads are mostly the apps that rank higher and are more presentable. ASO is one of the best ways of increasing the visibility of your app on the various app stores. Making sure your app has a simple title and page design helps users to find your app among competitors. ASO makes it easier for your audience to find your app on the various play stores.
Post-launch Mistakes
Ignoring Reviews
Some app developers forget to consider reviews after they launch their app because they think it is not necessary. On the contrary, reviews play an important role when it comes to how successful your app will be in various play stores. Positive reviews help your app to rank high among its competitors. It also shows that you care about your users. Most users check the reviews of an app before they download it. So, you must maintain positive reviews on your app. It does not mean investing in fake reviews because users have a way of finding out if your reviews are legit or not.
Not Fixing Bugs
Mobile apps gradually build in the number of bugs as more users continue to use them. You must constantly check your app for bugs and fix them immediately. You must also check the reviews of your app to check what users like or dislike about your app. This helps you to know the features you are supposed to keep or remove from the app. Doing all this shows that you care about your users.
Lack of Customer Support
Customer loyalty is essential for every business, and it is the same for mobile apps. Users like it when they can communicate with app developers because they know their views are being heard. Interacting with users shows how important they are to you. Replying to questions quickly helps you get closer to your customers. You can do this by creating a social media platform for your app or by creating a feature in the app that makes it easier for you to communicate with your users.
