5. Qualities of a good App

What makes a good app compared to a poor one? Consider this list of qualities

  • Clear purpose. It should have a well defined purpose and not try to do too many things.
  • Simplicity - the user should not need any or very little instructions on how to use it.
  • Multi-platform. The two key platforms are iOS (Apple) and Android. To reach the most amount of people it should be available on both.
  • Good performance. Fast loading and swift response.
  • Security - it should not leak private information
  • Offline - there isn't always a connection so relevant features should also work offline
  • Support and updates - a good app improves over time with regular updates
  • Feedback - customers should be able to provide feedback to the developers
  • Personalisation - it is nice to be able to adapt the app to your own preferences, for example themes and colours.
  • Search - should be fast and accurate, if it is relevant to the app.
  • Social media links should be easy to use, if relevant.
