It's only interesting mobile apps that work. The uninteresting ones are ignored by potential users, who are looking for only those applications that can interest them for a sufficient period of times. Whether iPhone apps, or BlackBerry apps or for that matter any other apps is interesting or boring is decided at the apps development stage itself.
Here are 3 tips that can help you make your mobile apps more interesting.
CAPTIVATING VISUALS
You might have gone through reams of literature extolling the virtues of content and concept when it comes to developing an app that can definitely interest the user; but the age old tried and tested method is still the way to go when it comes to capturing the imagination of the user. While going through the mobile applications store, the first thing that they are going to notice about your apps is the visuals. Whether they are going to choose to download your apps is determined by the quality of the visuals and whether they are able to generate interest in the minds of the potential users. Even when they are using their mobile apps, its visuals that determine their interest levels in a mobile app. Everything else is secondary.
ENGAGING USABILITY
Say for example you are looking for an iPhone application and don't have any particular category in mind. You just want an app that helps you pass some time. Which amongst all the iPhone apps will be your choice? It will be an app that not only is extremely usable but engaging as well, in fact its usability needs to be engaging. What this means is that that the movement of all features of the iPhone app must work seamlessly and manage to engage you. Such mobile apps offer intuitive user interface that is not only easy to use but helps users interact with the app in a highly satisfying manner.
SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY
You might wonder what simplicity has got to do with the interest quotient of the application. Well, the fact of the matter is that it is only the simplest of apps that work. Apps users aren't too interested in using mobile apps that are difficult to understand and which have a whole set of instructions that need to be adhered to if they are to optimize the use of the app. What they are looking for is a simple to use apps that require zero explanation in order to be used. It's important to note that the interest quotient of any app is determined by its simplicity. To think that is only complex applications that have the ability to interest user is wrong. Its only simplicity that works big time.
