But the question remains the same ? How can you make your app stand out of the crowd that will make it unique ? Below are some points which can help you to stand out of the crowd .

Name Of The Application

The name of the application should be trendy , short and sweet . Secondly it should be closely related to your app . For instance , Facebook is something that denoted a social app showing faces and status to all people . Adding ” Z ” at the end is the latest trend in name choosing .

Logo Of The Application

It is really really important to have the best logo for your app . So always focus to get it designed in most unique way with simplicity . Whatssapp , Facebook , Viber has logo that has been imprinted in our brains .

App Description In App Stores

When user comes to app stores , they don’t know your app , so it will we your app description that will help them to get an idea that what is app all about . So the description of the app will lure him to download the app . We must have heard that ” Content is always the king ”  and the same strategy applies over here . Simply writhing app is very good and you should download it , does not really make sense nor user will be guided what all is app about .

Videos & Screen Shots

Sometimes the description does not describe what a video can . Video can give them the real time experience of app even before downloading it .Your video should contain the best features that your app is having as well as uniqueness . On the other hand app screenshot will attract more downloads to your app .

Reviews

User feedback play a important role in making your app a success . The caliber of the app is judged by the stars it gets . None of the video , screenshot will tell about your app performance , but users feedback do .

Last Updated

Some application starts well , but consistency is not maintained later . They are not getting regular updated and thus user gets bored by using same functionality over months without any new addition to it . Also the errors and bug have their own right to get arises after app launch , and it can’t be ignored . So always keep an check on bugs and try to solve them on next version update , otherwise even if you are performing well , you could not do a lot .

Number Of Downloads

It is thumb rule that more the downloads are more your app more will be user engagement . Obviously 1 lakh download for a particular app can’t be fake download . They all will be genuine user who have used the app and can given their feedback accordingly . If your app has a good download , it is single enough to show your app is standing out of the crowd .

Size Of The Application

Size of the application matters a lot . Everyone has a limited space in their phone with a limited data pack . So if you are having a application of say 29 MB , user will hesitate to download it , and if you have 5 MB application , user will surely try it once .
For instance Teena fonds your application on app store , even if she does not have a data pack , she can tell her friend to open up the hotspot to download the same in phone if it is off smaller MB’s .

Other Factors

Developing neat and clear application with no ads will create no irritation for the user . The best UI ( User Interface ) should always be focused on , making it as easy to use as possible  . ” First impression is last impression “. So always tries to focus on home screen ease of usability . Make sure your app should run as smooth as butter .
So at any times , it is unicity that matters. So try to make it as unique as possible applying your own brain and try to get feedback before launching from your friends and family .

Notification – and specially push notification makes s curious to make open the app , as soon as we see the beacon of red signal pending notification in our phones . But companies like twitter is approaching different kind of approach wherein they are promoting direct engagement of people with other people thus making more personalise environment , and thus users are pushing back from push notification . Trend of muting activity updates , notification , tweets about important topics are pushing back web movement .

From Inbox Zero To Today

I still remember , gone are those old days when we use to visit internet cafe to check my hotmail account , outside of cafes we don’t have any idea about whether we got any new emails or not . Even after logging into our account , the only way of indicating new mails arrival is bolded subject line in email box . But in todays world , when we download gmail app , along with default iOS app , we receive double push notification on phone . Now the count of unread emails are almost none , even if they are junk or spam , i click on them to get than number off on my screen .

Show Me Less Of This

Many of us has left our email id’s to departmental stores and social networking sites , to spam out inboxes. Even after google giving sorted mail boxes  ( Primary , Social , Promotion ) , we left ourself desensitised to mess .
The idea of introduction behind social media is is to give you more curated experience , where you can only see the post or can be contacted by person who are friends in your dashboard . But social media got noisier and noisier , and the problem has increased . The only way to silence someone was to unfollow them , but that was something like antisocial .

Pivoting To Videos , Muting Said Videos

2017 was all about video . Many new media companies and editorial staff started offering video with sounds and motion everywhere onto their sites .But video was creating frustration for user , as they are getting autoplayed with sound . But after than , when complete evolution of video was taking place , Facebook was the first to introduce autoplay of videos with mute button , and the rest other companies follows . In August , Google Chrome added its own mute button for video ads .
This surely depicts many of the muting features has rolled out in the market , with the feature to mute or disable feature .

What Really Do User Wants ?

Day to day , apps are offering me ability to see more . I can now see , when other person has seen my message , and can even customise the setting accordingly . On Twitter , Instagram and Facebook , we can even see what is trending topic and other are liking on social media , even though we don’t have anything to do with that .Facebook has added a green symbol for the persons who are online .

How Can You Make Experience Less Intrusive For User

  • Consider the timings of popups and notification . We recommend that if you want user to give feedback for your app as soon as they download the app , that obviously don’t do it , until and unless they experience it . Its better to monitor the actual usage of your app for how your app performs .
  • Flodding your app with lots of features won’t work .Some of the most popular products are being loved by user they have limited but great pathways and thus provides simple experience .
