1. Keep tracking new Apps
Keep tracking the new apps specially of your interest, keep digging, good bad and try your idea to add something or remove something to make the app lighter, faster and more to deliver to users. You can use their source code or get some basic codes for your own too. Don’t forget to appify your dream and make your dream apps and introduce something new amazing to this world.
2. User Open source
Android and most of its code is freely available to download, you don’t need to develop new module every time, enjoye code library and re-use the most stable version of modules and kernel from the vast library of Android. Don’t forget to check if the code you are using, support latest android OS.
3. Testing is important
If you are one individual or small team, alpha testing is not upto the mark, better you select some of your geeky or curious contacts and send the apps to them for beta testing. Beta testing is basically testing the application to large and real user community. Collect the bugs and pitfalls from their use and give some more time to fix them before you submit it on Google play or make it available for world.
4. Maintenance and automatic updates
Its good idea if you implement services in your apps which collect and assist the bugs in it. It should send this to you time to time, you need to check/fix these and update the application for better and more stable use.
5. Sustain for future
Being open sources, Android grows very fast. Newer version launches frequently with small and larger changes. To sustain your app in future and how you implement newer version of your apps, don’t forget to study the changes between different versions of APIs of android and plan accordingly.
6. Vast community for you
You can use the Android community to distribute the builds of your app for specific devices and test them to get feedback. The XDA forum is a great place to kick start.
7. Interact with the users need
Google play has implemented the amazing feature in it, now developer can replay to individual comments on the apps page. This will help every developer as well as user to better understand each other and of Corse this will let you develop application with wider ideas.
It’s great to get the instant feedback for developer and don’t have to wait for weeks and weeks, so hoping you just not get aware single apps but you need to create an amazing strategy to your better app so it should rock the store. And I’ll provide review to your app on my Blog too. Go ahead.
