1: A Name of the App

Wait, what? The name of the application should be trendy, thoughtful and tenacious. Second thing, it should be short and sweet. Third thing, it should be relating very closely to the genre of the mobile app. Check it out with an illustration: Messenger is succinct, related, looks cool when spoken, and uncommon.

2. App description in App Stores

"This app is very good. It has many features.It's free.'

"This app is made just for you, having fascinating features and marvelous interface. Moreover, it's free, free...'

Can you guess about the specialty of above two apps? Umm, both are same. Funny, isn't it? Yes, it is. When the user comes to "Play Store' without having any knowledge of your application, it's the app description that will lure him/her to click on the "Download' button. Well, they say it right "Content is the King'. It's not the matter of what you write; it's how you write. At any rate, you should write it right.

3. Videos and Screenshots

Sometimes, the app description doesn't explain the user what the application is about. Then, it's time for some pictorial representation. Of Course, Video, and Screenshots, to be precise, vivid video and salient screenshots will captivate the users to get the exact idea about the application. This is how an application is made unique. Phew!

4. Reviews (Genuine)

The question is "How can you purely judge an app on video, screenshots, and short description?'Here comes the answer. Users, directly or indirectly, always like to share their feedback whether the app was helpful or a complete nuisance. You can check the comments of "Genuine' users, I repeat, "Genuine Users' in the Review section below the app description. 1,2,3,4 or 5 Stars? The caliber of the mobile app is measured by the stars it gets.

5. Last updated

Some application starts well, gets more download but the consistency is not maintained. Obviously, there are few bugs and minor errors in every mobile application.

12. Change Over: Browsers to Downloaders

It is probably one of the toughest tasks but you have to do it? How? Usually, visitors are surfing always, looking for their benefit to get something expensive for the modest price.

Note: When they will download the mobile app, they are eager to see those features and specs; if they are not given what they were promised, you will lose him/her incessantly.

13. Price Tag: The more is not the merrier

The app analytics firm Distimo analyzed the impact of price changes across the top 400 apps globally. It said that 90% of users go for free mobile apps even though the paid app of the same category has plenty more features in it. This surely puts developer to think about it. In order to solve this hurdle, they have come up with one new strategy. Pro-theory. Primarily, the app is given for free but for more features users have to buy pro version. Hence, the user if satisfied with the free service will then think over to purchase the pro.

14. Brainstorming Promotional Strategy: Promote your app across several traffic sources

There are a lot of stores except the giants-Apple and Google. Doing that will not only increase the traffic but also enhance the brand awareness. This is one of the strategies marketers are applying to get the benefit.

15. Peeking into post-download activity

This is exigent. After the application is downloaded by the user, is it sitting idle on the home page or not even used once per week? That's sad, isn't it? Of course, with this scheme, the analysis can be made and the engagement can be increased resolving the weak pin-points.

It's apparent that SEO is a challenge to all the marketers and developers but it's the primary source to get their app on top.

18. Competition: Little fish in a big ocean

Totally: This point is advised/tip/suggestion under the category mobile app development.

Large markets have lots of competition which mean your burden to a position you as uniquely is quite high. Not insurmountable but a challenge nonetheless. What are you going to do to message appropriately? What tactics can you employ that drive enough customers to your door and not to your competitors? Your mobile app should strive hard and toil plenty even though it's unique and unparalleled. There are lots and lots of fishes (competitors) who are ready to replace you. You will never know; it's an ocean (market).

Everyone wants to be disruptive; but it's hard to make yourself stand out when your app designs look just like everyone else's i.e., wearing the same clothes as your neighbors.

In the first place, when you scroll through apps in photography, music, utilities, you will definitely see replicas of single apps. Imitation is the surest way to bore potential users. It's like asking anyone "Would you like to be drowned or burnt alive?' Either way, he is going to die. Similarly, copying, duplicity, and imitation don't last long.

At any rate, it's the unicity that matters. Are you contriving a way to make such unique mobile application? Don't think about how and when? Now is the time. And, that's how, my friends, you make your app stand out in a crowd. Haven't mobile app development reached a new level?
