Socialo - Interview with the developer of a fantastic app

Did you have any prior development or coding experience?

No, I'm just 17 years old and although I have developed many apps, it was the first app I published on Play store.

What was the most challenging aspect of developing mobile app?

The most challenging aspect was assessing user needs and deciding the direction and figuring out what to develop. There is a vast competition in the mobile app industry in the market and it is a tough task to get the stand and noticed by users. The app developers are always working to create innovative apps that users want. So, I had to figure out many other things before starting like: What is the purpose of the application? What are the functionalities needed to be addressed while developing the app? Does the idea make me stand out from the crowd? Will the app be easy for the users to use? Does the app get into the market according to the users' need? And so on.

_{Vivek Kabra}

Hello, I'm Vivek Kabra and I'm 17 years old. I love to travel to a lot of places and I'm also a fanatic of developing mobile apps.

Name a few of your favorite apps and reason you love them.

Few of my favourite apps are Quora, YouTube, and Chrome. I really love them because they are some of the most productive apps in the market. They also feature a simple yet intuitive User Interface and serve their purpose perfectly.

How long have you been working on this app?

I've been working on this app since almost 2 months.

What need of the user did you have in mind when developing this app?

With this app, I tried to solve the issues of the users who struggle with storage on their phone. Moreover, by making all apps available at a single place, I think it really eradicated the need to download numerous apps and also made it convenient to use many apps together.

In what way do you think your app is better than similar apps on the market? Please describe in detail what innovation you think you bring and what you are proud of in your app.

I think my app is better than similar apps on the market because I've added more features in it. Most importantly, I've focused a lot on simple, yet attractive User Interface so that my users get the most out of it and do not feel it complex. I've also implemented quick actions bar to simplify control, which I didn't find in other similar apps on the market. Moreover, I've made it in such a way that users can easily switch between apps with just a swipe.

What are your future plans and expected features of the coming new versions of this app?

In the upcoming versions of the app, I'm looking forward to add a lockscreen feature to my app. I will also try to increase the quality of UI. I'll try to make content more accessible and add even more platforms on the app.

Assuming new users of your app are reading this page. What do you want to ask them to do (contact you about X, Share the app, etc.)?

I want them to please use the app and provide me their honest feedback about what was good and what can be improved so that I can meet my user's expectations.
