So without wasting even a single minute let us discuss it in the step by step format so that it will be easier for you to understand properly.

Let’s Talk!

What are the common mistakes that you often do & allied solutions?

Mistake:

1. Either miss similarity or uniqueness :

I am not saying this because of my personal perception only but I encountered too many clients that wanting a clone dating app only and here I am not saying it is wrong means our app should similar to the best performing one into the industry space.

See it is not a big deal to build any type of clone dating app provided a mobile app development company having a dedicated team of professionals means then it can be done very easily.

Yes, you should go for similar app development too otherwise it will be another mistake but if it is possible then add some unique points into it.

Solution:

Actually, our common mistake is that we always been in to hurry while taking any decision with limited R&D and limited information.

We should not do so.

Must check out the current trend means nowadays community to community dating is so popular but the available platforms are few.

For instance,

1. Sportsperson to Sportsperson dating
2. IT Professional to IT Professional dating etc.

So here, is the demand and supply gap that your future dating app can fill it.

These are just examples that means here I am only trying to make you understand that how can you make your unique ideas.

Further, it is one of the common and big misconceptions that most often people consider dating as in the sense of sex only but this is not the case at all instead it is just creating a casual or friendly relationship.

You can meet other people and spend some awesome time or share your knowledge on a date. That’s it.

See, now you can go for similar functionality and usability like Tinder but I mean you should have a unique or demanding idea so that you can create a unique brand i.e. benchmark at the marketplace.

There are numerous benefits of unique or demanding ideas as indirectly it will be going to minimize your incurred costs like marketing cost, etc.

These kinds of ideas trend mouth to mouth as well as digitally too fast because of the demand and supply gap and that you even can’t imagine the trend of these and so on.

I think amalgamation & instances of these pinch of ideas let you understand the mechanism for generating new ideas.

Mistake:

2. Never go to develop it using clone websites/online free tools

First of all, let me clear you one thing that there is nothing free in this competitive era means at-least they ask your contact details, etc. and later sell it to others or use their own purposes as per their policy that you check-in or agreed while making an account.

See if you are having a nice idea but going for making an app for the same using available online free tools then you are committing a blunder.

Other things can happen like your idea might get cheated as well.

An app is just like a cycle having two wheels. In the same way, an app also has two wheels & these are as follows:-

1. Unique or Demanding Idea
2. Functionality & Usability of the application

Free kinds of applications that are made using online free tools are not having important functionalities that surely going to damage your end-users usability experience as well as a brand name at the marketplace in the long run.

First of all, we need to understand our human psychology that we often rely on free things but it does not necessary that it will be going to work in all the situations.

Investing in something will give you results and spending for the application is an investment, not a liability. You must understand it.

Only fully-featured tools having capabilities of retaining the clients by increasing their engagements through the application.

Solution:

If your idea is too great and unique then only go for the professional development of your app instead of building it with the online free tools.

Or find such ways through which you can get developed your application in a low budget that I will discuss with you in the end paragraphs.

Is it the right decision to get into the dating business?

The total world population is 7.7 billion and from which 5+ billion people having smartphones it means approximately 65% + people having smartphones and this count is increasing gradually with the passage of time.

Now you can imagine the potential of your decision yourself that you can target around 65%+ world population with just your mobile app idea pertaining to dating concept.

How to select the right company for dating app development?

So for checking out that the company you are going to approach is genuine enough or not, you need to confirm all these points that are written below:-

• No Charges for Consultation 

Yes, if a company letting you know all about you want to know then what goes into that and it also gives you some conformity that it is genuine.

Or ask whether they are providing a free consultation or not.

• Rates or Prices

There are lots of companies that ask fat amount in return of their products or services i.e. charging higher than the industry averages.

Now the problem is how you will confirm the same or come to know about the range of prices for a particular service.

Here is the solution!

Just approach different companies and ask about their rates and all then automatically you will have the rough idea about whole the price ranges.

• Free-Demonstration

So if you are a new customer or even familiar then you may feel some insecurity of mind in approaching for a new company but if the company showcase some work to you as per your requirements then you will not feel so at all.

You should ask for the free-demonstration of work pertaining to your future requirements.

If they provide it then they are trying to provide you the value and this is one of the checking parameters.

• Post-Sale Assistance

The professional kind of concern provides all kind of support even after selling their service to the clients.

It does not mean that once the service is given the work is over.

• Partnership Facilities

There are very few companies that do partnership if you are having some good idea and wanting to convert it into an application but you might lacking budgets for the same but to solve this issue some great companies do a partnership with you and helps in launching your dream into the reality.

Must ask if the company ready to do partnership or not if you are lacking the budget or having some financial issues.

• Reminder Services 

A professional kind of concern always provide this assistance to the clients through emails, calls, etc. so that in case any client forget something important regarding availed service then it can be reminded on time.

Must ask if they are providing the same service or not.

• Quality 

After seeing all the above mention points now the picture of the company gets clear to you.

They must provide quality service or product instead of talking other things all the time.

Some even provide full one-year free assistance. Hence, they are genuine enough.

• Common Mistake

Firstly, never approach such kind of companies that only provide partial services.

For instance,

Some companies may bait you by saying that they will complete your specific task in cheap prices like only designing portion of your application.

It means they are not having a proper team of experts and if your app not made in sequence wise then you will fall into trouble for sure.

At the later stages, your money and time going to waste.

Tip:

Only Approach End-to-End mobile application development service providers like Appther – Top Mobile Application Development Company India.

Means these kinds of companies provide a full solution from beginning to the end that is until your launch of the app.

Last but not least, must do open talk regarding the app development cost as some companies ask low but later somehow bait you and then ask the higher cost for the same.

Approach many companies through calls, emails, etc. and try to confirm rates and all before taking your final decision.

As many giant brands ask too higher rates only in return of their brand name etc.

You just need to check out company portfolio and all before making the final decision.
