How to Create a Successful App in 10 Steps

In this video, I’m gonna explain how to create a successful app in 10 steps.

This is a follow up video from my other video “How I Created a Successful App & Quit My Job” where I explain how I created a successful app called Fudget to the point where I was able to quit my job.

And based on that journey & years of experience with app successes & failures, here are my 10 Steps for Creating a Successful App.

Fantastic video and channel! Lots of great value. First video I watched was customizing the terminal prompt and that led me to your amazing story on creating Fudget. So incredible!

Informative as always, Danny.
I enjoy the way you code and describe things, it's very matter of fact. A lot of other channels tend to over complicate themselves whereas your simplicity really resonates with how I learn and think. Really appreciate your content, my man!

[maskman]

I like the way you inform users to upgrade to pro version, you allow users to use pro features for one day with video instruction, this is a great approach to promote the apps !!!

Thanks again for making another awesome video! I'm surprised your channel doesn't have 100k+ subs yet, but I'm sure you'll get there soon. Still deciding what I am going to go with to create my app. I'm leaning Quasar, but I haven't seen too many examples of Quasar apps that exist. I think Quasar will make it easier to not have to recreate the app for both iOS and Android. But I also want to make sure it will still look and function as good with Quasar

Great video Danny! You're an inspiration!

[warligh]

Again a great and useful video from you. And thank you again.
I am also looking forward for the AdMob part of your "Real world Quasar App" so if it's not too much to ask: Are you using some cordova plugin (if yes - which?) for AdMob or you are handling it in some other way?
Anyways... keep up the good work.

Awesome, I'm taking notes, you are really good. I like all the tips, including them on my app plan from the start

[oziocb]

Great video! Btw, cloud you do one about adding AdMob to a quasar project?

[jensluck]

Once again a great video Danny! Lots of important and useful tips. In one of my projects (mpu-easy.de) I am also using the freemium model. In the future I have to get more involved with App Stores and App Store Optimization. Your suggestions in this area have been really insightful. Thanks a lot!

Very inspiring, I am an iOS app developer myself, I am working on my own app. Thanks for the tips.

Super cool video
I like the way you explain things you are great

[dragos_stancu]

Great video! That's available for ANY startup as well.

Great as always, Danny! Thanks. I'm wondering if there is a way to help one decide what programming languages, frameworks, etc. to use? I want a website that is also a mobile app. I have learned that by making a Progressive Web App I can code once and it works on every platform, but I am still trying to decide what frameworks and languages and backend platforms and tools to use out of the myriad of choices. ~ I know, you will probably say, "Hire a company", but I don't have the money and I love doing it myself. Also, do you have a way of outlining the app functions and development steps? All that would make a great vid!

When do we get a first release of fudget 2?
Did Quasar made the development of fudget 2 easier?
Keep going !!

Hi Danny! Super helpful. Did you create your own app or did you hire an app developer? If you made it yourself, do you do freelance work?

[whitegraymatters]

Thanks for this. Questions: So if I do not know how to program myself what would be a good site to use to make an app? I have found one but I was curious about your opinion. 2nd question what would it cost for me to pay someone to create 1 that's custom? Thank you

[SergioYT]

Danny, muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia para lograr que tu app fuera exitosa. Ahora miraré tu serie sobre Quasar para desarrollar una aplicación real.

[dekebaoe]
