AppsBazar brings the Perfect App Iteration Schedule

Frequent updates in the current version of a mobile application are a necessity. Updating the app is necessary because new features have to be incorporated in the app or a bug has to be removed. Sometimes, the developer has to introduce a new code. The biggest challenge in front of the app developers is the duration between successive app updates. The reason I am terming the iteration schedule as “problem” is because if iteration is done rather quickly, the user will get annoyed and there is a fair chance he/she will uninstall your app. So what should we do? Updates are required to keep the app going. If there are no updates or notifications on your app, your app will seem idle and the user will eventually lose interest in it. Again, he might just uninstall your app. [Also Read: How to manage Clinic with a Doctor Mobile App]

So what needs to be done is to plan a perfect iteration schedule. Let me help you in planning a balanced and probably best possible iteration schedule for your mobile app.

1. Keep track of the Frequency

The frequency for updating the app will vary with the type of app you want to update. For instance, the Retail App by AppsBazar will require rather frequent updates than the Real Estate App because of difference in their requirements. While updating the app, our developers ensure that your app’s performance is up to the mark, meets usability trends and the standards set by industry benchmarks and surely better than your immediate competitors.

2. Be aware of your Competitors

It is right that we should aim high and try to compete with the industry benchmark but to reach there, one has to win over the immediate competitors. These experiences can only take you to that level of expertise. Same is the case with iteration schedule. See how many times your competition is providing app updates and compare it with the industry benchmarks too. This will help you to find a balanced approach towards planning a perfect iteration schedule.

3. Analyze before initiating the iteration

Before proceeding for any iterations, make a rough plan as what features you want to change and how many team members will be required for the task. Also, the aim of iteration is not simply for doing it because the schedule says so, it must deliver the new market requirements and meet up with the standards. One must never release a low-quality iteration just to keep up with the market competitors because it may back fire. Before the final produce, check for the quality and performance.
