I have an app idea that I think is going to be HUGE!! I mean, the potential of this thing is way beyond any small time fart app or app to sync contacts. I'm talking growth.
I've started reading and soaking up the Android language, but by the time I could learn something on my own and do everything needed to market it, someone else may come along with the idea.
I want to assemble a team of a few developers, artists, and web builders to form a team. I have a narrative of the app, a general idea of marketing it, and a well planned out idea map. I just need to assemble the team.
I want people I can trust though. To me, the potential of this is likened to a winning lottery ticket - so I'm not going to just start blurting things out. I want to get interested people, talk, get to know each other and then I'll drop this killer idea.
If you're interested, please contact me! [email protected]

So a while ago, I decided I would get into java, for the purpose of building a personal assistant/concierge type of app, but after a few days of learning, Siri was released - an app for the iPhone which does everything I was thinking of doing, and they stated that they had the goal of releasing for other OSs (Android, BB, WM) so I quickly abandoned that idea, my decision based on the fact that I, an amateur and a real novice, could not create an app that was nearly as robust, and that it would never be able to compete with theirs.
Well as some may have read recently, Siri was bought by Apple

And here is their page, which can probably explain what they do better than I can

This has got me thinking about it again, and was wondering what people would think about this sort of app, whether it would be worth my while trying again?
Would there be any call for this, and would there be any other devs willing to lend a hand to a noob?
My knowledge of Java is limited, but I am certainly willing to learn (preferably as I go).
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
There is a small company called google which kinda does the same thing.
Please enlighten me, in what way does Google provide a service which allows people to, in plain (spoken/colloquial) english find cinema times and book them, book restaurants, order taxis, find out about events happening in the local area and generally manage your life, all from one application, rather than sifting through lists of search results yourself? Sure anyone could go to the separate websites of all the aforementioned, but might it be easier to do it from one app?
I may be wrong, and if I am then I apologise, but I have not heard of a service like this from Google.
If you have used google voice search then you would already see that it does most part of it.

In this era of smart phones, apps have made our life easier. We have apps for almost everything like Whatsapp for messaging using, Instagram for sharing pictures, Zomato when looking for restaurants, etc. But, Don’t we need more apps? Of course, we do. We have endless requirements when it comes to apps. They have become an inevitable part of our lifestyle. And while doing some daily chores, we feel like there should be an app for this or that. So, whats stopping you from making those apps live and working, don’t know where to start, don’t know how to code or don’t have money to invest.What if I tell you there’s a way that can solve all these problems and get an app you desire not only for yourself but for others too and even add some dimes to your pocket. Isn’t it exciting?

Developing a good android application is not an easy task (neither impossible ) especially if you have small or no team. It requires many skills and talents, such as coding, designing sense, music sense, marketing skills and list goes on. You have to keep an eye on everywhere since lack of any aspect can result in poor response form users (which is the last thing an android developer want).
Recently I have developed an android game (Fruiteria) in my spare time and launched it recently on Google play store (see link at the end of this post). It took me about 74 days to build it from scratch. It was a challenging task but I learned a lot from my experience. I would like to share my experience with you today!
Let's discuss what are the things one should never avoid while developing application :
1. Concept and implementation of application
As I said above, there are many aspects to application development. But no matter what you do, You will not be successful by selling poor quality application. So, first thing everyone should think about is a good concept. Your concept can depend on your goals such as business advertising, social work, marketing or simply making money! Also, having a good concept on paper is one thing but it's implementation need patience and constant efforts. If you have a nice concept and willingness to put efforts into it, then consider you are already at the half way!
2. Grow your concept with time
Second point I would like to mention is try not to be stubborn!! If you think that you have the best concept in the world, but the world thinks the other way, then you are in big trouble. After all you are building the application for people. Take suggestions from users and your friends to change and grow application concept. Believe me, it works like magic!
3. Research
Before building your application, try to do some research on what is the market for your application, who are the competitors in market and why they are successful (or unsuccessful), who are your target audience and what do they exactly want. Working on such things will give you a better idea on what needs to be done exactly.
4. Marketing
This one is tricky! If you are an individual, or a small company with almost no capital, then it is hard to put much money in marketing. Especially when there are already giant companies present as your competitors. But that is not the end! Think about creative ways to make your application popular. For example Give it to your friends to use, and tell them to spread it. If you are in college, then sponsor a small event in exchange of application publicity which will not require much money. Make discount coupons and distribute them. In essence, do every little bit of thing that you can. You might not see the effect on first sight, but over time it will accumulate on large scale.
5. Keep in touch
Last thing I want to share is don't leave your application after launching! Keep updating it regularly by adding exciting new features and fixing bugs if any. Respond to user comments and reviews. It gives personal touch and they will start thinking that you care about them. It will definitely increase the user retention and hence the growth of your application..!
I personally have been implementing these principles in my application since the idea came to my mind. Finally I succeeded in development of a good android game (or at least I think so!). But as I said earlier, my success depends on how you respond to it! I am sharing the link for game in case if you are interested in checking out my game. Please let me know how you find it by reviewing it on Google play store!
All the best for your android endeavours. My best wishes are with you!!

I have an idea for what I think is pretty rare, a new a unique android app. My problem is creating it is way beyond my skill set. Was looking for someone with the skills to write the app. Even though it is not a game the most likely path would be a multi-player dev platform like AppWarp.
What I'm hopping find is someone with the skills to do the job in exchange for equity but I don't expect you to commit to a full blown project unless you me and more importantly kickstarter thinks it's a good idea.
So to start I would want to create a mock-up android app to demo the concept. Then I would need some input on costs and timelines put together a business plan and kickstarter campaign, then it's up to the crowd to decide if the idea is good or not..
Thanks for reading pm me if you are interested..
PS: I would need an electronic non-nondisclosure (eSign PDF) before sending out details..
Can u pm whats its the goal of an app or write a little bit more ...
We are building a team for a new tech project that will hit as big as Uber and AirB&B...how do we know? Simple...it solves a big problem, it employs people and allows them to make money from their home, and it is a global market! It isn't creating a better mousetrap, it is the evolution of society and how we access convenience.
You would hate yourself for missing out!
What we are looking for is developers who are next level genius types. Who can take the Uber apps, and not only understand them, but recreate and/or improve upon them. We want the best!
We will be building a working prototype before going after funding. Once the VC's hear of this idea, they are going to back our seed and A round... guaranteed, no 2 ways about it!
