We love seeing the apps that are being created using our Android app builder tool platform but we have also seen that some of our users are missing some of the most important steps in ensuring that their app is built for success. In today’s post we are going to have a look at some of the steps that are required to help ensure your Android app success.

1: App name and description – Let us start with the basics. If you want your app to be found organically in any Android app store you need to give your app an appropriate name. Make sure you research which keywords are being searched for and name your app accordingly. It is also vital the description of your app is clear and concise to ensure that the potential user will know what to expect when downloading the app. If users repeatedly download and then discard your app this will affect your app ratings drastically and could result in your app being placed further down the search fields.

2: Screenshots and icons – First impressions definitely do count in the app world. The Android app market is bursting at its seams, competition is high. It is important that if a potential user is on your download page that they see the best of what you can offer. Using high quality screenshots and icons can either be the make or break of your app.

3: Marketing – Let us face facts, if your app is not being advertised in any external form, the likeliness that it will be noticed in any highly competitive Android app store, is tiny. Start off your marketing campaign using social media. It is important is for you to become engaged with your audience and potential audience so that they will be enticed to download your apps and continue using them. Social media helps you communicate clearly with your audience.

4: Monetizing – Not all of you are not monetizing your apps. The first and easiest way to monetize your app is through affiliate marketing, once your app hits the required usage and download ratio you will automatically be eligible for revenue. In addition to affiliate marketing there are many other ways in which you can earn an income, from banners to internal private ads.

5: App Empire – Although it has to be said, many of you are doing great and are creating an app empire, some of you are not. Apps that are situated within an app empire are 10 times more likely to be downloaded than an app that sits alone. App empires brings credit and security to your brand which encourages potential users to download your app and then come back to try another of your apps.

So there you go, when you create an app using the Android app builder tools follow our simple rules to success.

Build an Android App and Remember the 4 Ways to Prevent Copyright Issues

Everyone wants to get their ideas onto an Android app, but what many people are doing, they are illegally taking content that does not belong to them.

There is so much information on the web, but that does not mean that you have the right to just take it and use it as your own, someone has put in all their hard work in creating that content and you should consider this before you create your app.

What is copyright?

Copyright means that you are the owner of the content that is being presented. It’s the same as being a legal owner to your home, or your car. The content is something that you have produced. Remember though you can’t claim copyright for a fact or an idea unless the idea has been patented.

Follow our 5 points to help you avoid copyright issues

1: Create your own content – Best advice ever, do it yourself. Creating your own content is not as difficult as you may think. There are many website creators that you can simply input you content and you simply fill in the text and images.

2: Give credit – It is always decent for you to contact the website that you would like to use content from. The majority of sites will only be too happy to let you use their content as long as you link to them, for example; if you are creating an App based upon local theatre productions, request permission to link to theatre websites.

3: Public domain – Many people believe that because the internet is considered public domain, it gives you the right to use material freely. This is not the case. The internet is a software is in the public domain, but the content within is still private entities.

4: Fair Use – It is possible to use parts of an article as a quote or for use to clear a point that you are trying to say within your content. As long as you are not copying the complete material and can prove the reason why you are using these quotes you can always claim that the usage is within fair usage policy. Even so, we would suggest you request permission and give credit to the originator.

I hope that you aren’t all angry with me for pulling up this issue with you. We really think it’s important to respect our fellow content creators and this will help you build an Android app that is unique and successful.
