4 Ways to Build a Mobile Application

2. There are a few options to help you decide the approach required for
building your first mobile app
Bring Idea to Reality
This is the most popular form of mobile app development. If you have
an idea and if it is something which has not been done before, you can
develop that into a mobile app. You can do it yourself or ask a developer
or mobile app development companies to do it for you.
Pros
 Free Hand – You can develop and make changes as you want it to
be. Everything is under your control.
 Ownership – The IPR of the app resides with you. You are the
owner of the app. If the app gets popular, the source code and
publishing rights can be sold to other companies/individuals.
Cons
 More efforts – Since the idea is new, challenges to implement it
are unknown. More efforts will have to be put to implement the
idea. You have to take care of every aspect of design and data
flow.
 Risk – Risk is more in building an app from scratch. All the efforts
may go in vain if the idea could not be implemented or users do
not like the app.
Clone IT
This is another form of mobile app development where developers
emulate popular apps. The idea is to take a pie of market share from the
popular app by building a similar app.

3. Pros
 Less Surprises – Since the idea is already implemented, the
challenges are less. Hence the time to develop is also reduced.
 Less effort – Since the app is already present, you have to emulate
the functionality with same or extended features. You don’t have
to put effort in conceptualizing it.
 Less Cost – The cost of developing the app will be low as less
effort is needed. Also, this app can be offered to users at a low
cost. If everything is identical, the market share can be easily
captured.
Cons
 Clones vs. originals – The experience tells that clones have not
been able to emulate the features and success of the original app. If
you want to sustain in the market, the cloned app should be bug
free and feature rich.
 Competition– There will be other developers cloning the popular
mobile app to get the pie of market share. In this case, your race is
not against the original but the cloned apps. The shelf life of
cloned apps is usually less. To be popular, you need to be unique
from the other cloned apps.
 Less Returns – The returns on investment will be less in
comparison to original ones.
App Flipping
App flipping is a popular concept in mobile app development. It consists
of 3 steps
1. The developers can buy source code for popular app
2. Give a makeover to the app by redesigning skins and adding new
features

4. 3. Publish your app in the app store
Pros
 Only design change is needed – Since the source code is purchased
for already existing app you need not have to write the
functionality again. You just have to redesign it. Change the skins,
graphics and icon and you are good to go.
 Less effort – Less effort is needed as you just have to do design
work.
Cons
 Coding Skills Needed – Since you have bought the source code,
you have the control now. Any change needed to be done has to be
done by you. So, you need to have some knowledge of coding.
