Mobile App Developer's Point Of View

As a mobile app developer, there are a few things to be kept in mind:

1. Your primary goal is not finishing/completing the app,
    It should be:
  - How to make users download your app, What makes your app unique that is gets downloaded more.
  - If your app is one outta 10 downloads for a user, What makes it special that user uses your app most                        
    out of the ten which are already downloaded.
  - A mobile phone user may not use a phone for more than 2-3 hours a day for leisure time, Your app
    must be addictive enough to make the user engage a particular window time everyday.

2. Your app's code need not be very complex.
  - The more simple the code, the less to debug & less number of crashes.

3. Your app MUST be user friendly.
  - If it is a game, user is not going to spend time learning the different controls.
  - The user may spend a max. of 1-2min to figure out controls else he moves on saying it is too    
    complex to understand.
