Building an app for your business is a great way to stay ahead of the curve. It shows forward thinking in a digital market, and it’s a great way to meet your customers right where they are. After all, a push notification or two can bring a huge increase in sales your way!
However, building an app and ensuring it’s ready for release are two very different things. It can be hard to be quite sure your app is capable of going public, thanks to just how severe the reaction can be to something that’s badly built and hard to use.
But throwing those worries out of the window for now, there are also some clear signs you can look out for that’ll tell you when your app has the legs it needs. Here are the two top ones to keep in mind.
You Can Measure the Performance
Before you do anything else, you need to be sure you can measure just how well your app does on the market. And that means you need to come up with a few key KPIs to track – these will ensure your app is doing what it needs to, and is perfectly made for the customers to use it as is.
But what key performance indicators are essential here? Start at the base level with indicators that watch the way your app loads and what causes a crash. From here you need to keep an eye on retention most of all: how long are users spending on your app? And you need to be measuring for these metrics from day one; the moment your app is working as intended, the moment it’s being tested by beta users, you need to have an analytical eye over the way it handles itself.
You’ve Perfected the Basic Modules
If you’ve already put together a requirements section, this is going to be an easy one to monitor! However, even if you don’t and you’ve got a bit of experience in app building, you already know what it takes to get an app to function. And if you know what modules are necessary to get the host of basic features ready for use, it’s time to check on how well they’re working.
As the best aglie certification programs will show you, it’s very easy to put some lines of code together and get a start screen out of it, but how far can the user go from here. Do a test right now – is your app easy and fun to use? If so, it’s ready to hit the market. You can always add in more features with update patches later on, as it’s the basic functionality that’ll impress in this very early beginning stage.
Your app is ready to go live as soon as you’re confident it can do its job. Be sure to keep points like these in mind throughout the process; they’ll help you pick the perfect date for launching your app.
