Your users’ motivations for downloading your app matter more than your own. You need to make sure that the offerings of your app is something that can trigger users at a deep level, rather than “it just looks good”. Think about something that can emulate the real world/subject or category that your app represents. A mobile app development services are human-centered and that can really make someone’s life convenient delivers a rich user experience. Design with your user in mind, always put yourself in their shoes and you will have something that they will want to have.
2) Cover as many platforms as possible

We have a desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc. If you have all of these, chances are you access all these platforms in a single day. Let’s not mention the different available operating systems as well (Android and iOS being the most popular in mobile). Due to the many ways one can access apps, you have to make sure that it is available, functional and attractive across as many devices and platforms as possible.
3) Design
More than making sure that your mobile app looks aesthetically attractive, you also have to think about its ease of use. Even though almost everyone has a smartphone, not everyone is quite adept at using them. Design your app simply that even a newbie mobile user can navigate it effectively.
4.) Testing kineme
After developing your mobile app, comes the most important part before launching. You have to test it. It’s a great idea to have a wide variety of people test your app so you have an idea of what any kind of individual would be thinking of it. Getting feedback from many individuals before release can alert you to some things you can improve on.
