Scale Your Business and Deliver Value-Driven Solutions Through Mobile Applications

There’s no definite cost to develop a mobile app. It can vary largely based on your requirements such as the features and functionalities, customization of visual elements, choice of platform, backend infrastructure and more. Here are some determinants which play a role in deciding the cost of app development:

• Is it an android app or an iOS app? Or do you need both?
• Do people have to log in? Does it require users to have profiles?
• What monetization and engagement strategy does it require?
• Does your mobile app need to connect with your website?
• What is the level of customization required in terms of gestures, buttons and transitions?
• How many design elements do you require?

Depending on the size of the app and its features, the time for development can vary from 2-3 weeks for a simple app to 10-12 weeks for a complex app. Also to consider here is the fact that as a part of the development process, some app development companies follow recommended practices such as the delivery of PoC every few weeks and iterative enhancements on the way to ensure the delivery of a robust deliverable, which might extend the timeline, of course.

Theoretically, a mobile app development process begins with ideation and prototyping, and continues with wireframing, development, design and deployment. At [x]cube LABS, we take a different approach where we begin with strong research to validate the app idea and based on the insights we strategize and formulate a well-defined roadmap in the initial phase itself. The process is complemented by agile frameworks and best practices such as DevOps which strengthen the outcome of each phase while leaving flexibility to make changes or scale as required.

Simply put, avoid complexity. From having a simplified sign-up process and replacing loading screens with engaging content to placing important features in the right order and considering all the right customer journey points, you must ensure that the app stays easy to use, relevant and visually appealing. Additionally, avoid cognitive load by eliminating irrelevant actions, too much content or too many choices for a simple task. These are just a few of the many UX/UI designs considerations to begin with.

Frequently updating your mobile app shows you care about user feedback and are constantly looking to provide a better experience to them which further drives customer engagement and loyalty. An app that's not been updated for weeks or months is likely to become obsolete.

Despite having a potential of scaling to a million users, your mobile app may not achieve the desired results if it isn’t optimized on the app store. Just like marketers use SEO to get their web pages rank higher in Google’s search results, similarly, app developers must use App Store Optimization techniques to get their app to the top of app store search results. You need to use a descriptive title, choose keywords wisely, provide an apt description, use high-quality screenshots and videos, focus on icon design, encourage positive ratings, and a lot more to rank higher in the app store’s search results.

There’s no limit to different ways you can create engagement strategy for your mobile app. However gamification seems like a great way to achieve it, especially when in the current times, the average screen time per user has increased. Irrespective of your industry, you can leverage engaging gamification to achieve brand awareness, launch new products, create interactive ads and much more.
