1. Strategy
The very first step of developing an app successfully starts with building a strategy for it. This process would involve everything apart from the technical procedures. You have to:
• Identify the proper users for your app. You
have to look at the section of the population that would be interested in your
technology.
• Research the competition in the market and
learn from your competitors

vision
• Set a budget and try to bring quality within
the budget
• Select a mobile platform for your app
• Set a marketing strategy for making a success

This step can be overwhelming as your idea would finally start taking a real shape and you would be working without any days off. Plan each step of the development of the project and analyze the lacunas while developing each progress.
The most entertaining yet confusing thing is to decide the name of your app. Research the names properly to avoid any kind of plagiarism and remember that your name would represent your product. So, don’t just name an app, name your brand!
Then, move to identify the requirements of your app, the key usages to put in and other functionalities to include. Sometimes, price, time, or other factors might hinder you, so the best thing to do at that time would be to define your MVP (minimum-viable-product) and go for the launch! Planning would also need you to decide the most important factor for your project, the resources, the developers. You have to first decide the development technology stack (as iOS and Android use different stacks) and if you aim to develop an app for both iOS and Android platforms, you have to ensure a solid team of both iOS developers and Android developers.
3. UI / UX Design
An app should always be seamless to explore and easy to understand. So, a perfect UI/UX design is the key to it.
The more amount of time a user spends on your
app would decide its success and imagine the navigation of your app to be so
confusing that the user leaves your app and looks for an alternative!
So, the UI/UX design of the app should be
excellent enough to make your app interactive, intuitive, and user-friendly.
The design and navigation of your app should
be your top-most priority!
