[RANT] Best way to make an app
Share on:

Hello.

Forgive me but this is getting on my tits.

If you are going to ask 'how can I make an app' or 'whats the best way to make an app' or 'whats the best software to make an app' then can you PLEASE state what platform you want the app to run on and what you want the app to do FFS.

You may think 'yeah whatever dude' but without this information you won't get a meaningful answer. If you want to develop for IOS then you need to develop on a mac and submit to the App store at $99 a year. For android you have more options then there is windows, blackberry, bada, webos...

Then there is the question of what does the app do, 'I want to make an app for a restaurant' is a common question. So what does it do? allow the customer to book a table, see the latest menu, take a picture of their meal and share it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest? Does it have push notifications so the restaurant owner can run a sort of loyalty scheme. Then you find out what they mean is a mobile site that shows the location of the restaurant on a map with a 'tap to call' button.

Bah I have ran out of T-Bags and have to go and fetch some, maybe I should ask the shop keeper 'whats the best way to make a cup of tea' then when they have told me say 'what I mean is a pot of coffee'...

Good advice.

However, I would bet that most people that ask such simple questions expect simple answers.

Most likely, they don't realize there are different platforms when it comes to apps.

They are probably only interested in "making an app" to make money fast.

There's my rant.
