10 Steps in Making an App for Beginners

  1. Choose your app name.  It should be catchy and easy to remember.
  2. Select a color scheme.  You should be consistent with your brand as your app can be a complement of your course.
  3. Customize your app design.  Make sure it’s unique and standout.
  4. Choose the right test device.  You can experiment with different devices then launch which your target market can easily use.
  5. Install the app on your device.  You will get the feel and look as a user and not only a creator.
  6. Add the features you want (Key Section).  What do you think the features your prospective students want?  It’s always student or client-oriented so you can make a pulse survey to know better the marketability of your app.
  7. Test, test, and test before the launch.  This could take a lot of patience and time but it’s worth it once your app is running and being patronized by students and other people.
  8. Publish your app.  You can now optimize your app.  You may upload on various sites.
  9. Promote your app.  You can maximize your social media in promoting your app.  It’s good to belong to different groups so you can market your apps.  It will become a word-of-mouth advertising if your app is indeed useful and worth their money.
  10. Ask your users for feedback.  As the saying goes, “Customers are always right.”  You try to adjust to their suggestions or explain why your app is different from their expectations.  A kind word of explanation may win their support and they can be your loyal supporters.

Education apps are here to stay. Every day more schools, universities and other learning centers use tablets, phones and computers to teach. Education apps are the new books available for everyone with an internet connection. There are apps for kids to teach them how to read, or how to calculate; and there are also apps for teenagers to learn how to cook or even how to develop an app. Apps meant for the education industry have to be clear and simple, with colors for kids and music or audio (since some of them cannot read). Other features that can be found on an education app are: games, profile creation, social media sharing, rewards, great UX, settings for parental control, etc.
