What Are The Principles Behind Creating An iPhone App

March 12th, 2010

Creating an iPhone app sounds like something a developer could do in his or her back room, in almost complete isolation. But according to Brook Lenox at www.howtomakeiphoneapps.com, there’s much more to the process than that. Because if an application is ever to see the light of day and have any success outside of that developer’s room, then he or she will need to become a marketer too. That’s one of the lessons Lenox teaches about creating top iPhone apps that people will want to download.

But that’s getting ahead of the game, because creating successful iPhone apps begins several steps earlier. Possibly the next most important tip Mr. Lenox gives people is that their app should be simple. If you create something really complex, then it’s going to take a lot of effort to learn to use, and most people won’t be willing to put in the work. And not everyone who does download iPhone applications of such complexity will understand them even if they do try to learn. So keeping your app straightforward and fairly easy to use is paramount.

Lenox also reminds people that it’s not enough simply that the iPhone app works really well; it must have visual appeal too. If the graphics are blurry or amateurish looking, then people will be turned off before they even get the chance to try it and see how great it is. And enabling search engines to “see” the application is just as important, so researching just the right keywords is also crucial. Do whatever it takes to make your iPhone application reviews positive, and show people that using your application is a good idea.

And when the iPhone app is accepted and on its way into the online store, the real marketing push starts. Putting both a free and a paid version into the App Store will be another way of creating interest, because if people like the free version, they’ll be more likely to pay for a version with more features. It will also provide you double exposure in the store. Finding successful marketing strategies is as important as creating a well-crafted application. If nobody knows about it, they’re not going to download it no matter how great it is.
