We have just launched a campaign on Indiegogo website. About our new project which we really think is going to change the world. It’s a mobile app for restaurants,
a kind of social network but not limited to that! You may learn more about it here: igg.me/at/kindchef/x/4836930
Honestly, there are two reasons why I am talking about it here:
1) we have introduced some perks(gifts), that you mau find very useful and profitable.
2) the second reason is to spread the word about the campaign because we won’t be able to change the world if people are not supporting the idea… so if you even
just share it you have helped us a lot.
I hope this post is not looking like a shameless self-promotion. I never do that it’s just that the idea is so big and revolutionary that I think it does sound
righteous to talk about it and may sound very interesting.
Please visit the link above and find more information about it for yourself.
The most important way that you can help us, is by sharing the campaign link with your friends.
Please feel free to ask any questions,
Best,
MyFlashlab team.

Hello,
Now a days, mobiles are really helpful devices in any industry. People use mobile phones to surf the internet or shop from online store. It is useful to grow your business via using different applications. Is it good to develop mobile application for business or not? There are too many companies available who develop mobile applications. How to choose best mobile application development company from all of them?
Thank You,
Calvin Hewitt
It is ofcourse possible to develop an app for a business and it is generally not very expensive unless you want the app to do a lot. Not knowing what business you are in, if I were in your position I would do the following:
1 - Figure out what you want the app to do (provide a service or provide information)
2 - Have similar functionality on your corporate website with maybe a mobile version (ability to place orders, or track them, or view information)
3 - Search for app developers online in your country/city so that you can personally meet them for the next step
4 - Contact some developers with what you have in mind and ask for a quote for developing and maintaining the app, at the same time you will figure out what they can and can't do + see examples of apps they have done in the past to judge their capability
5 - If you feel confident you can try and search for and contact app developers in other parts of the world like China, India, etc who may do the job cheaper and as good
Good luck Calvin!
I think android development has huge potential of being a viable business but there is a lot of competition. From making my own app as a hobby and releasing it getting the download isn't guaranteed. I putting all eggs in one basket hoping an app will be a great busies is a risk one of the main reasons it is a sideline project/hobby for me, and maybe there is a slim chance of something i make gives the security to make it my own job.
Hello,
I would like to understand how free social mobile applications make money?
Take for exemple Tinder: it is worth millions of dollars, the designer of the app has made millions, but how since the app is free? I do not see any ad when using the app.
Thanks!
It doesn't.
Investors can be quite patient. They want a business model to grow first and find a revenue stream later.
Google for "how does Tinder make money" and you'll see a few articles on this.
Mr.Koala is right - for the most part they don't. Even some extremely popular tools valued at millions (or billions) have never made a dime. Ideally, someone will be able to retroactively monetize the property, which is what the valuation is based on - potential monetization. However, the cynics among us will point out that certain historic economic bubbles have been burst based on the misplaced hope of future monetization.
Google itself originally was free service. Once you have user base you can always add paid functions.
when they collect big user base it is possible to sell ads and other users information for 3'th parties
And then you have mobile ads on top of that... But like said before, it's usually the investors that pay all the money.
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!!

Hello everyone,
We're trying to create a new open-source app distribution platform named Spheris, using blockchain technology. We are really interested in your thoughts – both devs and users. We're also open for possible collabs for those who are interested.
We’re utilizing Ethereum’s blockchain technology to build Spheris as a decentralized platform. This makes a lot of cool things possible:
No registration and transaction fees, as opposed to traditional app marketplaces who charge up to $100 for registration and 30% per each transaction. No technical restrictions or censorship. Optional anonymity. Forget about the need for credit card companies or banks – you will be able to buy and sell apps using our digital currency (Spheris tokens), with the option to exchange for other digital currencies (such as Ethereum or Bitcoin).
Customers will be able to purchase apps without going through registration and without credit cards. We’re also trying to accommodate devs whose apps have been removed from Google Play for questionable reasons.
Your Feedback = Extremely Important
We are in the early process of gathering valuable feedback from devs, and see if this is a platform that devs would like to be on. For users – do you guys see this as a platform you would buy apps from? Would love to start a discussion! For devs - have you had bad experiences with app stores (de-listing, ranking issues, not being accepted etc)? Does the concept of decentralization sound like something you might want to be a part of?
If you need more info, have a look at spheris.io or just ask me here.
Your questions and feedback are much appreciated,
Thanks
PS - apologies if this isn't the right forum for this topic!
