Brilliant Mobile Apps

Over the last few weeks, there have been some interesting things happening around the mobile app market. iPad app market has started growing steadily to match the respective growth rates of Google Play marketplace (formerly Android Market) and the iPhone/ iPod touch section of the App Store. As the app count rises, it simply becomes more difficult to find good apps. Let me introduce a few today.

In My Own World: This app is loaded with an inspiring tale for Autism children to let them escape into their own world. In My Own World has two sections - 'Read Myself' launches a book with images and related text that can be read by kid while 'Read to Me' is a video that has all the pages of the ebook and a background voice to read out them for the kids. However, after launching the Read to Me section, users can't stop it to reach the home screen. Apart from this small downside, In My Own World is really an appreciable effort. In My Own World is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad running iOS 4.2 or later and is available for free.

Solitaire Double-Deck HD: If you love Solitaire, you would have heard about Solitaire Double-Deck HD, as this application is available across Apple, Android, Amazon and other platforms. Solitaire Double-Deck HD has all the typical options users expect to see in Solitaire games such as Undo, Redo and Hint. This app presents King, Queen and Jack with different looks. Design is the impressive feature it and the card movement effect is also pretty smooth. Generally Solitaire apps are available at free of cost, but Solitaire Double-Deck HD costs USD 0.99. Solitaire for iOS is compatible only with the iPads. As I said, it is also available for Android devices from Google Play and Amazon appstore.

Ways To Effective iPhone Game Development

Apps can take up much of your time and money, especially games. This is an app-friendly world that we live in. Even businesses which create innovative apps can reap fantastic revenues. It's just that it is up to the developers to create apps which are worthwhile to buy and give time to.

By just throwing apps online, chances are they will never be found. One needs to have a specific plan for development and then marketing to reap value. App development is a tricky word since it can make or mar a company's image. Here are some tips which one can integrate within their iPhone game development process:

1. Using the location-based discount feature, one can offer special pricing for those who are buying the app from a specific location. With the "directions" feature, you can even guide them to the location, no matter where they are, at present. Get them to contact you, at will. This is a good strategy to attract people to buy your gaming apps.

2. Create Special Promotions to get more sales by developing an in-app system that discounts the gamers who play the game more often. Special deals and discounts will attract passionate gamers while driving your sales upward.

3. Provide massive value to the user by developing a useful gaming app and also invest significant money for online marketing purposes.

4. Partner with LivingSocial-type social sites and Facebook Places to drive traffic.

5. Create a gaming app which also solves a problem thus providing entertainment and value for money. Even joke apps and entertainment apps provide value to people.

6. Encourage mobile payments for the games that you are selling. The payment method will be unique and drive users to try it out.
