I have a mobile app idea, what should I do next?


Building an app can be a great kickstart for your business sales and client outreach. If you are a newbie to business or have just opened up a start-up, considering going digital is the way to go.

But what is the next step? After coming up with the idea of an app, how can you turn a profit on it? Which steps would help you in making your app idea, a reality?

This article is here to guide you about all these aspects! So keep reading to find out what you should do

Step 1: Know the purpose of your app and why are you building it
Step 2: Knowing what core features you want in the mobile app
Step 3: Finding the right team for the development of your mobile app

Step 1: Purpose

Once you know the app idea, find out the purpose of the app. Will the app be used for socializing and connectivity? Would it be for information purposes? Would it be to generate profits? Will you run the app for your business? Is it going to be a personal branding app? Whatever the idea is, always be clear about the purpose of the app. This will allow you to narrow down and reach the right audience once you have created the app

Confused about the purpose? Contact Alphasquad Technologies and we’ll help you figure it out

Step 2: Core features

After knowing the purpose of the app, you need to know the core features you want in the app. There are many core features that can be embedded in an app but it all depends on the purpose and idea of the app. Let me explain it with an example:

Consider Bill. Bill is a small shoe retail store owner and wants to build a mobile app for selling and purchasing shoes. The purpose of his app is to generate profits for his business. Now Bill would know that this is a classic brand app and it should include the main feature of purchasing from the shop and adding items to the cart. So Bill would list his first feature as:

1- In app Purchasing (adding items in cart)

Now he knows that if someone is purchasing through the app, then they would have to pay through some means of payment, such as Payoneer, PayPal, or credit card. So the app should have payment integration. And he would list his second core feature as:

2- Payment integration

Then there are also factors such as how many items will be displayed on the screen and how should the user find what they want. So Bill would also add a search feature in the app so users can search for what they want. And his third core feature is

3- Search and filter items

Now he has some core features listed down and he can see the image of gaining profits by allowing his customers’ easy access to his shop with their phones and through the comfort of their homes. But how will the users start using the app? While Bill is pondering this, he comes up with the thought that users will sign up for the app and make a user profile to use the app! And from there Bill finds two more core features of

4- Sign up process and

5- Creating a user profile

Suddenly Bill realizes, what if a user needs to chat with him? How will they reach him? There must be a way they can chat with him! And the next core feature Bill lists down is

6- Chat integration

Bill also knows that he needs a main control panel, the admin panel of the app which will allow him to add products to the app. Otherwise, users can not find anything to purchase. So he adds an admin panel to the list of development

After some analysis, Bill now has the list of his main core features that he can use for the development of app. This includes:

1- Purchase in the app

2- Payment integration

3- Search and Filter items

4- Sign up process

5- Creating a user profile

6- Chat integration

7- An admin panel to control his app

There are many other features that Bill can add to the app, but he now has the core features he needs for the basic development of the app. In the future, Bill wants regular updates of the app so he can add more features and provide his customers with a better experience of his business digitally!

I hope with this example I have well explained how you can list down the core features of the app. Once you decide on the core features the app needs, you can proceed with the next step

Step 3: Idea development

Knowing the purpose of the app and finalizing its core features will give you a clear vision of your idea. Now the last step is to have your idea developed. This step itself includes many little decisions, such as, what language would you use to develop the app, and whether you want the app for iPhone, android, or both, or should it be a cross-platform app or not? But instead of boring yourself with technicalities like this, you can hire well-reputed and experienced developers for this purpose.
