By 2018, less than 0.01% of all mobile applications out there'll be successful commercially. With the proliferation of mobile app development tools & the rise of Citizen developer initiative, building mobile software has never been easier. Code quality & application performance aside, the main reason why companies fail to crack the App Store and Google Play charts is poor marketing. Whether you have a fantastic idea for a program, you would better forget about Rovio's overnight success and - - invest some time on marketing. In case you're a startup & barely raised funding through Kickstarter, your app can still be a hit - as long as you choose the right marketing strategy.

He was no stranger to mobile application development: his Grades application produced positive reviews from both technology experts and the general public. Jeremy's team went a substantial way to validate the application idea, determine desirable performance and make good UX.
Nevertheless, the first thing they did was define client personas. Jeremy and his confederates were very knowledgeable about the translation encounter, so they did not have to speak with prospective users in person. Creating a buyer's persona is a key success factor in launching & promoting a mobile app - and most marketers still keep personas in a closet for whatever reason or simply don't know how to use them, Flappy Bird.
