Have you got a great idea that you would like to make into an app? Here are some tips about how to do it yourself.
- Create a diagram of how the user moves through the app – consider apps you’ve enjoyed and found easy to manoeuvre through
- Test the flow with peers
- Be flexible with development and design ideas
- Use online app creators (search in google and consider reviews) and do it yourself or get someone who is computer savvy to do it.
- Make sure finger hits area has a 2 cm range
- Keep it simple and fast
- Keep the user in the loop if something is loading or connecting to the network
- Consider gesture functions as well as full function options. An example of a gesture function is the back arrow function to go to previous screen.
- Test on all platforms such as android and iphones
- Test the app with people after development and make changes, test again before re-developing
