This is mainly just for identification purposes to keep track of the various apps you’ll scope out. This research that you’re doing right now is going to create the starting point for the features to include in your own app and which ones to focus on first. You might want to create a matrix or spreadsheet to keep track of your results. Scroll through the ratings and reviews of any competing apps you find. The next step is to validate your idea to make sure that it has a chance to thrive in the app store. One way to figure out whether or not you’re right about this is to check the reviews and ratings for the original app.Īre people complaining about the same thing? Are they complaining about something different? Is the app author listening to the feedback?Īs you’re going to see, listening to user feedback and improving your app based on that feedback is probably the singular driving force to the success of an app.Īn absent app author is sentencing his or her app to a slow death of user attrition.
If the original app author isn’t constantly updating and improving the app, then there’s an opportunity for you to create an even better app. There’s always room for improvement so if you thought that an app was sorely lacking a useful feature, chances are that you weren’t the only one to think that. Have you used an app and thought, “It would be so much better if this could do X”? If so, that’s the creative spark of a really good potential app idea!
