It's not enough to create the next "killer" mobile app. Great apps have great support ecosystems, and publishing your application is only the first step in generating buzz, earned media, and positive reviews. Discussion will be based around developer strategies and tools for tracking bugs, communicating with users, and creating positive reviews for your institution's mobile applications.

- Zen and the Art of Application Maintenance
- Misspelled words… skewed content… terrible graphics… fuzzy images… constant crashes.All point to a lack of attention to detail, execution, and above all else, quality.Spend the extra time to polish your application. You get only one first impression.Apple’s iOS Human Interface Guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/Introduction/Introduction.htmlApple's 6 Simple Rules for Designing a Killer iOS App: http://mashable.com/2012/12/20/spun-ios-design/----- Meeting Notes (1/30/13 10:38) -----The great gothic cathedrals are beautiful, in part, because they are lovingly detailed. They didn't sprout up over night, excruciating attention was paid to detail, and represent multiple generations of builders and craftsmen who lovingly added unique elements to the finished whole.Great apps are like great cathedrals. The whole is kept in place by an extensive edifice of arches, buttresses, and supports.
- Questions?
- Write your application so that language localization is designed in from the start, and not an afterthought. Design with internationalization in mind. Separate text from arts and assets so that this is a straightforward process.Using Location Based Features, your application can interact with your user in ways that trigger a call to action (check in, take advantage of a local special, see friends who are in the immediate vicinity).Apple: Build Apps for the World - https://developer.apple.com/internationalization/
- Applications that plug into your users’ social networks are “stickier” and allow them to share content with their friends, families, and colleagues. By leveraging existing personal networks, you enable your application to be adopted much faster than if users had to discover it by word of mouth alone.Socializing your application also enables you to use features of the various platforms – messaging, photo sharing, status updates – that you would otherwise have to develop on your own.Another advantage of integrating with an existing social network is using those platforms as your application’s logon identity. This can also be a big drawback as well, since not everyone is a member of Facebook, Twitter, etc., despite the seeming ubiquity of these platforms.
- Words are powerful.ASO – App Store OptimizationGive your application meaningful names, names that relate clearly and directly to the form and function of your app. Make sure that meaningful keywords are chosen, so that when users attempt to find your app in the app stores or marketplaces where you are offering your wares, they see it first among the other apps vying for their attention.http://www.apptamin.com/ASO_Cheat_Sheet-v2.pdf
- Use your existing personal networks to help get the word out about your application. Actively seek out the constituencies that your app is target toward to build “real world” relationships with various segments of your user community.Cultivate relationships with media outlets (TV, Radio, Print) that follow education and technology, and engage them not only with what you’ve finished, but with what you are working on, to begin building buzz.
- There’s no shame in asking for a review. Happy customers often aren’t the ones writing reviews – but are usually more than willing to give a great review if you simply ask them.There are many frameworks available for iOS and Android to help manage the task of asking for and directing users to write reviews.This is a great feature, and one that you find in most successful mobile apps.
- Questions?
- Questions?
- When I speak of communication, it goes beyond simply listening and responding. It also entails the timeliness within which we act. Our timeliness - or lack thereof - belies the importance of what we say we will do, against the backdrop of how quickly our corresponding actions materialize. If you wish to communicate care - be prompt and empathetic. If you wish to communicate indifference - delay, and be distant.When communicating with your application communities, but present in the moment, and treat them as is they are your only concern in the world.
