KEY Considerations
There are several influencers at play, which impact the making of a mobile app. Here are some key
thoughts to be pondered, before starting the process:
Make sure to factor in the compliance requirements, and terms and conditions of the AppStore,
PlayStore or platform where the app will be launched. For instance, Apple (iOS) will reject apps that
incentivize based on social sharing and video views.
Factor in legal considerations, especially if the app collects “Personally identifiable information” (PII)
from users.
Be aware of copyright and IP property involved in the development process. Sign a Non-Disclosure
Agreement (NDA) for designs and copyrights.

The effort that goes in to developing an app is underestimated at times, but the rewards
at the end of the line are well worth the effort.
