you through the app idea generation process.
Warning: If you’re looking for a quick answer, seek it elsewhere. We will not be able to
provide you with a definitive answer as it differs highly for each individual situation. The
purpose of this post is just to help you start thinking critically. It’ll probably bring up more
questions than answers.
The first thing you have to do is take a critical look at your company and figure out if there
are any problems that need to be solved. Is there a communication issue in-house?
Do
you have a problem sending or receiving

2. shipments? Is your customer satisfaction low? Every company has room to improve, you
just have to be honest about where your company is lacking.
Once you’ve figured out the problem you need solved, ask yourself who the app’s audience
is. For example, if your problem is in-house communication, then your audience is going to
be your employees. It’s crucial you get this step right because apps are handled differently
depending on who they’re meant for. An app meant for one person isn’t going to be created
the same as one meant for a specific workforce, which is going to be a lot different from an
app meant for clientele.
Now that you know the why and who it’s time to
start thinking about what and how. What’s the most ideal way to solve the problem you’re
facing? What steps need to be taken to reach your goal? How can these steps be put into
motion through technological means, i.e. an app?
The what and how are really where our App Geniuses come into play and shine but the
more you already have the better. Get your answers together and contact an App Genius
