App Optimizer

Do you have an idea for an app that you want to validate and develop?

Are you launching an app and want to avoid any mistakes or surprises?

Maybe you already have a team and you want to ensure your resources are spent wisely?

The thing is, it can be hard to get the desired results for your app because:
  • writing quality software is challenging, time-consuming, and expensive
  • the app store is a crowded place
  • expectations are super high
  • users are not just unforgiving, they’re vocal with their criticism

The success of an app is determined by a constellation of many factors,
and all these stars must align for it to get noticed.

To position an app properly, we should:
  • get fully informed and expose any existing blindspots
  • audit the app to gauge its health and predict its success
  • create a solid go-to-market strategy, development workflow, launch, and support plan
  • prepare for the best- and the worst-case scenarios
  • tap into the knowledge of someone with lots of experience launching apps
