Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Custom Mobile App Development

A successful custom mobile app development process involves the collaboration of various professionals who excel in their respective fields.

At Crownsoft, our mobile app development team is divided into specialized groups for iOS, Android, React Native, and Flutter. We have a talented pool of over 100+ experienced engineers who contribute their expertise to create exceptional apps.

In addition to developers, our team includes mobile managers, tech leads, app designers, project managers, UX/UI designers, quality assurance specialists, backend developers, and machine learning engineers. Ultimately the composition of the team depends on the project’s scope and the specific requirements of our clients.

Determining the most suitable software for mobile app development depends on several factors, such as the nature of your app, personal preferences, and expert advice. As a team of experts, we can guide you in making the right decision.

Ultimately, the choice of technology is critical, whether you opt for a platform-specific native app (utilizing Swift and Objective-C for iOS and Kotlin or Java for Android), a cross-platform app (making use of React Native or Flutter), or a hybrid app.

To ensure a smooth and efficient mobile app development process, we assign a dedicated Project Manager who oversees the development team. In addition, the Project Manager acts as a central point of contact and provides regular updates, ensuring effective communication and collaboration between the team and our clients. Accordingly, we also involve Quality Assurance and DevOps experts from the very beginning to guarantee a flawless app, both in terms of back-end functionality and front-end user experience.

The timeline for developing a mobile app depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the app and the current stage of the project. Each stage of the development process requires a different amount of time. If you have already completed certain stages, such as writing the project brief and conducting research, it can expedite the overall timeline. Generally, it can take anywhere from three to nine months to transform an idea into a fully launched app. However, with our team of experienced full-stack developers and experts, we can expedite the process and ensure your mobile app reaches the market without unnecessary delays.

These mobile app ideas have the potential to generate revenue streams in 2023 by catering to users’ interests and providing valuable and engaging experiences.

If you’ve invested significant resources into developing a mobile application, it’s natural to expect some financial return. However, it’s important to remember that generating revenue shouldn’t be your sole motive, and it’s unlikely for any app to earn billions overnight. By employing the right monetization methods, you can turn your mobile app into a primary source of income. Let’s explore some monetization methods you can integrate into your app:

1. In-app Purchases:

Offering users the option to make in-app purchases is an effective way to monetize your app. This strategy works particularly well for free apps, as it enhances the user experience while generating revenue. Many gaming apps employ this monetization model. Before implementing in-app purchases, consider how they can enhance the user experience and provide additional benefits. Striking the right balance between a great free app and enticing in-app purchases is essential.

2. Freemium Model

Even if your app is free to download, you can still monetize it by offering a freemium model. This allows you to provide different experiences for paying users and those using the free version. When implementing a freemium model, consider offering various tiers of value based on your app’s offerings. For example, you may provide free services, a basic subscription, and a premium option to cater to different user segments.

3. Advertising

Running in-app advertisements is the most common method of monetizing mobile apps. This approach serves as a significant source of revenue for apps that remain free in app stores. However, it’s important to familiarize yourself with industry terminology and best practices for advertising monetization. There are three types of in-app advertising models: Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM), Cost per Click (CPC), and Cost per Action (CPA). Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring ads align with your app’s purpose, are efficient, and provide relevant content to your users.

4. Collaboration:

Collaborating with sponsors and organizations, also known as influencer marketing, can be an effective monetization method for your app. If you have a large user base or have created a niche audience, brands may be interested in leveraging your app to connect with their target audience. Allowing users to engage with sponsors and trusted partners can be mutually beneficial. This approach not only monetizes your app but also provides users with valuable recommendations and increases brand awareness.

5. Paid Mobile Applications:

The most straightforward monetization method is offering your app as a paid download. However, this approach may not be suitable for all app ideas, especially if there are existing free alternatives with similar features. A paid app should offer unique and exceptional features that justify the cost. For example, apps like PhotoPills and SunSurveyor provide exclusive details and functionalities specifically tailored to photographers, making them worth the investment.

6. Subscriptions:

Implementing a subscription model allows you to offer premium content or features to users who opt for a recurring payment. This method works well for apps that provide ongoing value or access to exclusive content. You can offer different subscription tiers with varying benefits to cater to different user preferences.

7. Sponsorships and Product Placements:

Collaborating with sponsors and featuring their products or services within your app can be a lucrative monetization strategy. This approach is particularly effective for apps with a specific target audience or niche market. By integrating sponsored content seamlessly into your app, you can generate revenue while providing relevant recommendations to your users.

8. In-App Currency or Virtual Goods:

Creating a virtual economy within your app can be a successful monetization method, especially for gaming or social apps. Users can purchase in-app currency or virtual goods to enhance their experience or progress faster within the app. Offering exclusive items, power-ups, or customization options can entice users to make purchases.

9. Data Monetization:

If your app collects user data (while adhering to privacy regulations), you can monetize that data by anonymizing and selling it to third-party companies. Market research firms or advertisers may be interested in purchasing aggregated data to gain insights into user behavior and preferences.

10.Affiliate Marketing:

By partnering with affiliate networks or individual brands, you can earn a commission for driving sales or leads through your app. You can promote relevant products or services within your app and earn a percentage of the revenue generated from referred users.

11.Crowdfunding or Donations:

If your app provides value to a passionate community or addresses a social cause, you can explore crowdfunding or donation-based monetization. Platforms like Kickstarter or Patreon allow users to contribute funds to support your app’s development or ongoing maintenance.

By considering these monetization methods and tailoring them to your app’s target audience and value proposition, you can generate revenue while providing a valuable user experience.

After the mobile app development team delivers the final working application, the responsibility of maintaining and preserving its user experience falls upon you. You may wonder why app maintenance is crucial, so let’s explore how it can benefit you.

1. Nurturing the Target Audience:

By actively listening to user feedback, addressing pain points, and implementing suggestions, you show your users that their opinions matter. This fosters a sense of value and loyalty, leading to positive word-of-mouth promotion. Building a precise and devoted user base ultimately contributes to the long-term success of your mobile application.

2. Improved App Store Rankings:

Regular maintenance demonstrates your commitment to users, which app stores like Google Play and Apple App Store acknowledge. This commitment can result in higher rankings, increased downloads, and greater revenue for your app.

3. Prolonged App Lifespan:

If your app remains well-maintained and up-to-date with industry trends, it stands a better chance of being favored by users, even in a competitive market. Conversely, neglecting to maintain or update your app will lead to its decline and eventual abandonment.

4. Enhanced Security:

As mobile apps often collect personal and financial data, it is crucial for app owners to prioritize data security. Regular maintenance helps protect your app from malware attacks and ensures the safety of user information. Moreover this boosts user trust and encourages more downloads.

5. Business Growth:

By incorporating new innovations and functionalities into your app, you can expand your target audience and stay ahead of competitors who neglect maintenance. Additionally these improvements leave a lasting impression on users, ultimately benefiting your business.

However, it’s important to note that maintaining your app does not mean updating it excessively. Frequent updates can confuse users and potentially harm your app’s development. It’s essential to avoid small mistakes that can negatively impact your mobile application.

If you believe that investing in a mobile application guarantees success on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you are mistaken. Many mobile apps not only struggle to rank well on app stores but also lose their entire customer base. We share this not to discourage you, but to warn you about the potential mistakes that can lead to the failure of your app idea. Here are several things you should avoid with your mobile application:

1. Inappropriate App Idea:

Most mobile applications today are mere replicas of popular ones. Users already have existing apps that offer the same services and fulfill their needs. Failing to come up with something innovative leads to disappointment and loss of trust. Your app should offer a unique idea that attracts users and addresses their issues. Prioritize solving a problem rather than focusing solely on making money. Conduct market research to understand user requirements and align your app development accordingly.

2. Unclear Understanding of Target Audience:

Neglecting to have a clear understanding of your target audience can be detrimental to your mobile application. Failing to define your target audience properly can result in missing your actual user base. Consider factors such as age, location, and characteristics when identifying your target audience. Create an application that offers user-friendly features for each age group. Ensuring your users feel connected to your app is vital; otherwise, your app development idea can backfire.

3. Failure to Consider Different Mobile App Platforms:

Thinking that only iOS and Android are the only platforms available will hinder the success of your app idea. Even if you choose to target one platform, carefully consider the alternative platform and have strong reasons to ignore it. While global Android user numbers are high, iOS remains immensely popular. Additionally, some users prefer web applications for Windows or Mac systems.

4. Mobile App Features:

Mobile app features can win over users, but offering too many or too few features can lead to disappointment. Your app should provide necessary features without overwhelming users or leaving them wanting more. Assess the usability of your application and the devices it will be used on when determining the number of features to include.

5. Ignoring User Experience:

Mobile app developers often make the user experience unnecessarily complex. In a fast-paced world, users don’t have the time or patience to figure out how to use your app, especially when there are user-friendly alternatives available. Analyze your target audience and adapt to evolving trends to ensure an effective user experience.

6. Neglecting the Essence of the App Idea:

The essence of your mobile app lies in its unique features and functionalities. Focusing solely on functionality without incorporating essential features can diminish user interaction. If your app lacks methods of communication or feedback, users will be less interested in using it.

7. Underestimating the Importance of Backend Support:

Stability is crucial, especially for eCommerce or gaming applications. Robust backend support is necessary for your app to function properly. Embrace cloud technology for faster and better support and storage. Failure to handle traffic influx can impact your business for an extended period. Consider scalability when choosing a backend solution.

8. Eliminating the App Marketing Process:

One common mistake is neglecting app promotion after its development and release. Engage in social media marketing and encourage users to share their thoughts and suggestions. Generate excitement before the app launch to create a ready market and ensure your target audience is aware of your app’s features and functionalities.

9. App Performance Ignorance:

Unoptimized applications have little chance of succeeding among the influx of new mobile apps. Optimizing mobile app performance is crucial to avoid being overlooked or discarded.

10. Ignoring User Feedback:

Your mobile application exists for your users. Failing to understand their needs and concerns can result in app failure. Actively listen to user feedback and address their issues to keep them engaged with your app.

By avoiding these mistakes and prioritizing user satisfaction, you increase your chances of creating a successful mobile application

Types of Mobile App Development:

1. Native App Development:

Native app development involves creating mobile applications specifically for a particular operating system, such as Android, iOS, or Windows. These apps offer a superior user experience, as they are optimized for the platform they are built for. They provide faster performance, a familiar look and feel, and enhanced security. Native app development is suitable for gaming apps, apps that require the full utilization of device features, and high-security applications.

Examples of Native Mobile Applications: Scan To Go, WhatsApp, Spotify

2. Hybrid App Development:

Hybrid app development combines elements of web applications and native app development. These apps can work on multiple devices and operating systems, saving time and cost. They offer improved user experience and interface consistency across platforms. Hybrid apps have shorter development time compared to native apps and deliver high performance. However, they may not match the speed of native apps for graphics-intensive applications.

Examples of Hybrid Mobile Applications: Gmail, Evernote, Twitter

3. Web App Development:

Web app development refers to mobile applications that users can access directly through a web browser without downloading or installing anything. These apps are compatible with various platforms and require a stable internet connection. They are more manageable to update and maintain, and they offer secure access to live data. Web app development is suitable for content-heavy applications and applications that require frequent updates.

Examples of Web-based Mobile Applications: Google Apps, Microsoft Office, Netflix

4. Progressive Web App Development:

Progressive web apps (PWAs) utilize web technologies but provide a more advanced user experience similar to native apps. They can be installed and launched on devices like native apps and offer features such as push notifications and offline mode. PWAs combine the benefits of websites and native apps, offering a native-like experience, offline accessibility, and faster updates without the need for app store submission.

Examples of Progressive Web Applications: Starbucks, MakeMyTrip, BMW

These different types of mobile app development offer various advantages and are chosen based on factors such as target audience, desired features, development time, and budget.

When selecting a mobile device, many people consider the operating system (OS) it runs on because the OS greatly influences the device’s appearance, functionality, and capabilities. When developing a mobile app, understanding your target audience and the devices they use is crucial in determining the type of app to create, whether it’s native or hybrid.

Let’s explore some of the most popular mobile operating systems:

1. iOS (26.53% global usage):

Apple’s iOS powers the iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch. It is a multi-touch, multitasking operating system known for its seamless integration with Apple devices. Users can download a vast range of applications from the App Store, covering various categories such as entertainment, productivity, and gaming.

2. Android (72.93% global usage):

Owned by Google, Android is an open-source operating system that provides developers with extensive flexibility in creating applications. Android allows for a wide range of software development and offers users access to a vast selection of free content. It is currently the dominant mobile platform, offering customization options, convenient widgets, and multitasking capabilities. The Android Market, equivalent to Apple’s App Store, hosts millions of apps, including many free options.

3. Other Operating Systems (e.g., Blackberry, Microsoft Windows Phone):

While iOS and Android dominate the market, there are other operating systems like Blackberry and Microsoft Windows Phone, although their global usage percentages are much lower.

When choosing a mobile operating system, it’s important to consider factors such as user preferences, app development capabilities, available features, and market reach. The choice ultimately depends on the target audience and the specific goals of your mobile app development project.

The main difference between a mobile development framework and a programming language lies in their roles and functionalities:

Mobile Development Framework:

A mobile development framework is a collection of tools, libraries, and predefined functionalities that provide a structured approach to building mobile applications. It offers a set of pre-built components, templates, and APIs that simplify the development process and enable developers to create mobile apps more efficiently. In addition frameworks provide a higher level of abstraction, allowing developers to focus on app logic rather than low-level implementation details. Moreover frameworks often include features like UI components, networking capabilities, data management, and more.

Programming Language:

In contrast a programming language, is a formal language with a set of rules and syntax that allows developers to write instructions or code to control the behavior of a computer or mobile application. In particular it provides a way to express algorithms, manipulate data, and interact with the underlying system. Programming languages define the syntax and grammar rules that developers must follow to write code correctly. They provide a set of instructions that are executed by the computer or mobile device to perform specific tasks.

In summary, a mobile development framework provides a structured environment and pre-built components to simplify the development process, while a programming language provides the syntax and rules to write instructions that control the behavior of a mobile application. Subsequently the framework complements the programming language by offering a higher level of abstraction and ready-made tools to accelerate the mobile app development process.
