Defining The Feature Set: The Elementary Step In Transforming Idea Into App
Building an app may sound easy, but there is a lot that goes into actually developing one. It takes many rounds of developments, amendments, and constant modification and evolution. Every thought, every change in the idea or introduction of a new idea opens a way to a number of amendments and modifications in the app.
And in the process, you may even start working an idea more appealing and totally different than the first.
We at Xperge are open to all sorts of experimenting and creating as many modifications to create a final product that will succeed, earn and trend all at the same time.
While experimentation is important but knowing what exactly you want plays an important role at the same time.
Let’s see how
Feature set and its importance
Putting it simply, Feature set is what you want to include in your app. By definition, Feature set is a detailed description of the features that you want to include in your app. It is important information that suggests the importance and relevance of certain features in solving problems that customers may come across.
Let’s understand the importance of feature set through an example. For instance, a person wants to develop an on-demand beauty app. The features that should inevitably be included are a list of all the services offered with their prices, an option to book an appointment, an option to choose your own beauty personnel, an option to view all the offers, etc.
The list should not be just a mere collection of features that you think are cool or relevant but also should be useful to the users and should increase the value of the market you are targetting.
The truth and the underlying basis of any product
With the ever-increasing amount of competition in every field, the app industry doesn’t lag even a bit. The users have millions of apps to choose from and their probability of choosing yours depends totally on your app.
If your app is capable of connecting with the users at a personal level and bring about a change in their lives for the good, your app is here to stay.
Consumers should be able to distinguish your app among the hundreds of apps out there. Find out your USP, sell it and sail through smoothly.
There are plenty of ideas floating in the air it’s you who has to figure out if yours is the one that can bring about a change and modify people’s lives by in-depth knowledge and demands of the current times in your industry.
Points of prime importance
1. Well defined structure
The structure of an app is the first thing that creates an impact on the minds of the audience. A well-structured app which is easy to navigate and is self-explanatory is what appeals to the audience the most.
A skeleton must be prepared from the perspective of how the feature set will impact the audience.
2. Follow a Stepwise approach for solving issues
This doesn’t ensure that there will be no hurdles if the skeleton is well structure. There may be issues that surface when the app is practically used and must be dealt with in a stepwise manner keeping in mind the aim of improving the usability of the app for the user.
3. Don’t be weighed down by negativity
While you may have put in a lot of effort in developing your app, there will be some who will always be there to pull you down. Do pay heed to genuine negative reviews as they might help you in improving upon your app but don’t get too affected by people just there to spread negativity.
4. Be open to feedback
Judging your own app can become quite tricky as you will never be able to point out anything wrong in a product you have spent so much time and money on. And this is why feedback from users becomes important. Keep on asking for feedback and be open to useful and meaningful changes that users might suggest.
Well along with all the opportunities that the app industry offers it also brings along its share of competition. MAke sure your app has all that it takes to thrive and excel in the industry.
