“The Value of an Idea Lies in the Using of It.”

Thomas A. Edison

Nothing is more important than a clearly defined Idea before you start any kind of project. Whether it’s a simple or complex App, the very first thing to do is define it in one sentence, just like pros do. What’s the “differentiation” argument? What’s the product? For what audience? As an example, App Cooker may stand as “a professional / Mockup editor / for iOS creatives”. Remember that the more you want to do at the start, the more likely you are to end up overwhelmed and get the opposite result. Keep it simple and straightforward. Users don’t necessarily demand all of the features at once, so focus on the most important ones and wait till you get feedback. With a better visibility, you’ll be able to decide if you want to continue or not. THIS may be the most useful keys to successful Apps.
