How Long Does it take to Develop an App

The app development has different stages to it.  At the same time there is no rigid answer for the question time taken for app development. It is because it depends of the complexity of the app. A very complex app might even take month for competition.

For example if you developing an app for an on demand service it will definitely need navigation services. But that is not the case if you developing other kinds of apps.  Before stepping into the development territory you must be aware of what are requirement of the apps. It is more like a road map that will guide you and help you to have a proper structure. 

UI/UX Development

No doubt about the fact that your idea and you product/service is the core. But next in the list is the UI/UX of the app.  If the users are finding it difficult to use the app you will out of the competition long before you know it.  It is one of the processes that would consume a considerable amount of time in the development process. It is not just about making the app look appealing to the users. It is also about make the users feel no difficulty in using the app. Keep in mind that there is a there are at least a hundred other apps that are offering the same services.  What would differentiate you from them is what you are offering them and how easy you are making it easy for them to use. So make sure that UI/UX is given utmost importance. 

Development

The entire development process can be classified into frontend development and back end development.  The front end development is the part that consumes the majority of the time. It might sound simple. There are thousands of coding lines that goes behind the easy usage of the app. The complexity that is involved in the coding is something that cannot be explained in words. What meets the eye is just the tip of the ice berg. Both frontend and backend has to hand in hand. It is something that you cannot afford to have confusions. As mentioned earlier depending on the complexity of the app the development phase will vary. 

Testing

It is absolutely impossible for any app to hit the market without going through testing. There is no app that is going to 100% flawless. As the name states the app will be run through various tests to find whether there are bugs. This will again hit the development phase if there is a necessity for bug removal.  This cycle will continue till the point of time where there are no bugs.

Beta Version

Before the actual app hitting the market a beta version will be rolled out. The beta version will give a clear cut idea of the response of the app that it has among the users. If any changes have to be made it will be taken into consideration. It is after this the final app will hit the market.
