How to create my own app, and launch it on Play Store

Here are the simple steps to create a mobile app and put it on the Play Store:

1. Define Your Objectives with a Mobile App.
2. Layout Your App Functionality & Features.
3. Research Your Competitors.
4. Create Your Wireframes & Use Cases.
5. Test Your Wireframes.
6. Revise & Test.
7. Choose Development Path.
8. Build Your Mobile App.
9. Test Your Live App.
10. Launch Your App.
11. Put It On The Play Store.

Phase 1: Defining your priorities with a Mobile App

Two goals your app will fulfill:

1. The goal of your target users
2. And your target for the company

Start by putting these questions to yourself:

• What areas of your business need improvement?
• How does the question affect a mobile app?
• What is the likely outcome?

Phase 2: Map out the design & features of your app

Such features may include:

• Integrated eCommerce
• Contact us
• Forms
• Integration of YouTube or Vimeo
• Chat
• Push notifications
• Social sharing

Phase 3: Test your competitor's App

Look at their features, app layout and functionalities and take notes of anything that stands out to you or anything that you feel is missing.

Phase 4: Wireframe The App & Build Cases

That is your rare opportunity to:

• Understand your use cases and the thought processes behind them
• Optimize the number and order of screens to reach each goal
• Create multiple screens flows to find which one works best
• Save hundreds of development hours later on

There are two ways to create wireframes: offline and online. You can only use a pen and blank paper if you prefer offline, or you can use templates like the ones from SneakPeekIt.

Possibilities of online include:

• Adobe Suite templates
• Specialized devices such as the Fluid UI, Balsamiq Mockups, Gliffy and Mockflow

Phase 5: Check Wireframes in your App

You should use a device like Invision to make your wireframe interactive, to test your wireframes and use cases. Using Invision, you can connect screens and link actions to simulate the experience of your app.

ask your testers to write down the answers to these questions:

• When you have opened the app, is the main menu control obvious?
• Can you easily identify all the tasks you can accomplish with the app?
• Have you ever had to press 'Home' because the direction wasn't intuitive for any of the tasks you wanted to achieve?
• Were you looking for an option that wasn’t there?
• Are there any options you found redundant?

Phase 6: Revisiona la tua App di Feedback

Una volta che tutti i tuoi input sono stati raccolti, hai bisogno di raggrupparli per somiglianze. Costruisci la tua lista di lavoro dei cambiamenti e degli aggiornamenti che devi fare al tuo wireframe quando gestisci tutti i feedback di conseguenza. Poi incorpora questi miglioramenti e rendi il tuo wireframe pronto per essere testato di nuovo per assicurare l'eliminazione di tutti i punti di attrito.

Fase 7: Selezionare un percorso per lo sviluppo dell'app

In questa fase dovrai scegliere la direzione per lo sviluppo. Ci sono due alternative chiave:

• Scegliere un linguaggio per codificare la tua app
• Sviluppare la tua app utilizzando uno strumento per la costruzione di app mobili, come BuildFire

Questa decisione dipenderà principalmente dalla tua tabella di marcia per il budget - ecco le nostre raccomandazioni:

• < $10,000
• $10,000 - $50,000
• $50,000+

Fase 8: Develop a Mobile App

• Choosing plug-ins
• Home Screen & Branding
• Book your classes
• Certain Features

Phase 9: Check your live App

To support you in this phase, you can use some of these device testing tools:

• UserTesting
• Ubertesters
• TestFairy

If you've chosen to build your app with BuildFire, our BuildFire Previewer software allows you to preview and check your project completely free, fast, and simple. That will allow you to:

• Try the app in a practical environment, just as it was downloaded from the app store on your phone
• Interact with your app to see and hear what it provides
• Check the functionality of your app and make sure its layout is intuitive
• Implement some suggestions, and change the specifics

Phase 10: Start your App

• Please email your customers to
• Update the Site
• Encourage on social media

Phase 11: Put the app in Google Play?

1. Go to your Play Console.
2. Select All applications > Create application.
3. Pick a default language, and add a device title. Type the app's name as you want it to show up on Google Play.
4. Build store listing for your app, take the questionnaire on content ranking, and set pricing and distribution.
