Why do apps fail?

There are several common reasons why apps might break or fail to function properly. Here are some of the most frequent causes:

  1. Poor Market and Audience Research: Failing to understand the target audience's needs can lead to developing features that users don't find useful
  2. Lack of Originality: If an app doesn't offer something unique or better than existing solutions, it may struggle to attract and retain users
  3. Choosing the Wrong Platform: Developing an app for the wrong platform or not optimising it for multiple platforms can limit its reach and performance
  4. Bad User Experience (UX): Complicated navigation, slow performance, and frequent crashes can frustrate users and lead to high uninstall rates
  5. Improper Testing: Insufficient testing can result in bugs and performance issues that weren't identified before the app's release
  6. Poorly Executed Launch: A lack of marketing and promotion can result in low visibility and user adoption
  7. Hardware or Infrastructure Failures: Issues with servers, load balancers, or network devices can disrupt app functionality
  8. Software Bugs: Coding errors, compatibility issues, and security vulnerabilities can compromise the app – see below section
  9. Network Connectivity Issues: Problems with routers, switches, or firewalls can affect the app's ability to connect to the internet or other services

Addressing these issues involves thorough planning, user research, rigorous testing, and continuous monitoring and updates.

Getting stuck with a no-code app-building platform?

You started building an app on a no-code platform and these are a great way to build an app, but you can end up stuck at 90%.

Bridging the 10% gap can involve expensive technical advice that can wreck your plans and leave you stranded.

There are lots of stories of companies who invested all their time in big platforms that couldn’t / wouldn’t help them.

Some nearly collapsed as a result – see No Code App Development is a Trap (youtube.com)
