How To Develop Your Very First Mobile Application?

Mobile applications are the new way to conquer the market and in case you are new to  this, here is your guide for developing your first mobile application. However, we must remember that mobile application is a tough job to perform and one may need extensive practice to become a good developer.

Start with an idea:


Like everything else, Dubai mobile application development company will also start development with an idea. You have an idea, then sketch it on paper or create a testable prototype.  You may think that you have almost finished with your mobile application but honestly you have just created a prototype (the initial step). There is a complete cycle of development that a top mobile app developer usually follows especially when they have to work on agile projects and they all start with a testable prototype (sometimes they develop more than one). 
 

Develop the back end:


After that, your app finely has some idea to work on, the next step is to develop the back-end of your application. Your developer needs to set up databases, APIs, storage solutions and servers. Another very important that must be performed at this stage is to register with the app marketplace or developer account as this may consume much time, so cannot be left as a last minute task.
 

Design the application:


Skins or individual screens that developers develop for your application must be designed after doing the back end planning. At this stage, you need to develop the highest quality version of the application which you have designed previously as  a prototype. It is vital to include every single comment you have received as a feedback as it will help you in determining what your audience want from the actual version, so add appropriate comments (UI- user Interface to support customer activities and feedback).
 

Test Again:


After which skin design goes back to testing, yes again, it is really important to test your application after every major development to check whether you are going on the desired path or not. After skin design, you will have a physical version of your app that have graphics, text insertion capacity, so now it is really important to check how it will really look and work. Test the application using appropriate testing tool (which are different for different mobile application development). These handy application testing tools will allow you to link different screen together to check the flow from screen to screen.
 
Developing a mobile application will eventually bring lots of benefits to your business or to the business of your client. In case you are a business owner and want something innovative to interact with your customer, the mobile application is the smartest way to communicate directly with your customers. A well-designed mobile application will also help a business in reaching  masses and help in getting higher ROI (Return on Investment).

  1. I'm on the fence about this, while more customization is good, I have a feeling this is a "in-progress" update, it just feels incomplete and half-way there.
    We use badge layout for apps on design approvals (visual projects), so the image being displayed is important. Old layout "feels like" it had larger images,
    maybe because the images were cropped more loosely so it's easier to tell which project it was at quick glance. Now the image is cropped closer, making it
    harder to scan thru at quick glance. I find myself needing to click into the project more often than usual. Which makes the whole user experience less
    efficient.
    I have a couple suggestions that might make it work better:
    1. Increase the height of the window the cover image is being displayed.
    2. Let us to choose which image to be displayed as "cover" (like how Pinterest handles cover images of each board, was hoping for this for a long time)
    3. Let us adjust which part of the image to show and how tight or loose the crop is (with a fixed window, let us move the image around and maybe enlarge or
    shrink it to control what shows thru the window. Pinterest does a limited form of this, which is very useful in making the cover image relevant)
    4. Allow Cover Image to be ordered in different hierarchy (currently every element can be ordered differently except the Cover Image, it seems to be stuck
    in the 2nd spot, would like the option to set it on another spot in the layout. This one seems like an easy fix, since you guys allow that for every other
    element already)
