  • In this video, we look at the most common app-building mistakes that app builders make. We look at the top 8 mistakes and how to avoid making them.
    These mistakes include: thinking a software product is ever truly finished, not having a go-to-market plan, relying too heavily on paid marketing, making the app a copy of a website or desktop app, focusing on too many platforms at the same time, prioritizing downloads over retention, not making an MVP, and not focusing on solving just one problem with the app. The video emphasizes the importance of constantly improving and updating the product, having a diverse marketing strategy, keeping the app simple and focused, and building an MVP to test and improve the product.
    We have two guests on Jakob Brøgger-Mikkelsen and Jacob Harboe Kristensen they co-founded Reflectly, but also run a total of 25 different apps with over 50 million downloads. They’ve seen and tried it all, we can learn a lot from them.

    Great video! One insight we've had when developing our app is the added benefit of including an extra language in the MVP version. By doing everything in English, you're competing with all the big and well-developed apps. In our case, we added Spanish to our pre-MVP and it really boosted our numbers drastically in South America. It suddenly unlocked a huge portion of the population who did experience the problem, yet they didn't have any competing apps to help them solve it. The feedback from these users was super useful to further develop the app, especially so early on (and we could easily communicate using DeepL).

      Thanks, that is a great point, a good way to niche down and make it even more relevant for a smaller more specific group. If I was going to challenge it a bit I would say, sure you can do that, but then you skip English. No MVP with multiple languages, pick the ONE that gets you to where you want to go.

    What certainly helps is to have somebody on your team who actually has the problem you're trying to solve for the user. This makes a much faster feedback cycle.

    This video was incredibly informative, and I love your content and insights on these topics. I honestly think your content is very underrated!
    It would be very interesting and informative if you made a video on how you actually started to launch your app, what the costs are for hosting, and keeping it up and running, and how you went from the idea to the finished app in a more technical sense!
    Thank you for the videos and much love!
