Biggest App Building Mistakes [in 2023]

[@mariaotworowska9804]

Great video! One insight we've had when developing our app is the added benefit of including an extra language in the MVP version. By doing everything in English, you're competing with all the big and well-developed apps. In our case, we added Spanish to our pre-MVP and it really boosted our numbers drastically in South America. It suddenly unlocked a huge portion of the population who did experience the problem, yet they didn't have any competing apps to help them solve it. The feedback from these users was super useful to further develop the app, especially so early on (and we could easily communicate using DeepL).

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, that is a great point, a good way to niche down and make it even more relevant for a smaller more specific group. If I was going to challenge it a bit I would say, sure you can do that, but then you skip English. No MVP with multiple languages, pick the ONE that gets you to where you want to go.

[@Ps_Arnold]

Wow this is a great point indeed. Thank you for sharing! All the best as you continue growing the app!

[@RaviprakashHegde]

​@@RawStartup is app publishing without English language possible?

[@jeromecloetens5433]

Hi Heini! We LOVE app-specific videos! Please keep them coming! Thanks!!!

[@RawStartup]

Great, I will keep them coming!

[@mxv456]

What certainly helps is to have somebody on your team who actually has the problem you're trying to solve for the user. This makes a much faster feedback cycle.

[@RawStartup]

Very true, thank you

[@valentinf3949]

This video was incredibly informative, and I love your content and insights on these topics. I honestly think your content is very underrated! It would be very interesting and informative if you made a video on how you actually started to launch your app, what the costs are for hosting, and keeping it up and running, and how you went from the idea to the finished app in a more technical sense! Thank you for the videos and much love!

[@RawStartup]

Thank you very much for the kind words. I can promise you one thing, a lot more videos coming on how to build and launch an app!

[@BobbyTasikj]

Hey do you need help launching your app?

[@maximilianomongeok]

This is very valuable information guys! Thank so so much! I just sent today my first app review to the app store, so hopefully I won’t fall into any of these traps 🙏🏻

[@donhesse]

Hi Heini! Loved this video. Super inspiring and it really hits the nail on the head in terms of many of the app-related discussions I find myself in 🙂 Thanks!

[@RawStartup]

Thanks Morten, very glad it was helpful!

[@catherinel8839]

Awesome!!! Thank you. Im terrified of someone with more money and soeed ripping off my idea. How can we protect ,and should we do this before creating the MVP?

[@kahel3874]

Straight to the point. Excellent stuff. Thanks

[@RawStartup]

Thanks yes will not be wasting your time, no BS 😎

[@DarrenL97420]

Hi wanted to say, Thank you for this great content. Actually i'm building a MVP version of my App, your advice will boost the development of my App ;)

[@RawStartup]

You are very welcome and good luck!

[@smac3068]

Love your channel! Amazing how you’ve achieved such success and give us your valuable insights. Now I’m going to stop typing and go build something. 😄

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, yes Go Build Something!

[@islandliving3745]

My product is perfect. Been building for 10+ years and the niche market is growing rapidly (retired astronauts). I just need to meet one now.

[@RawStartup]

That is funny 😂 Good Luck!

[@jubjubapp]

Do you do reviews of decks and go to market strategies? I would love your thoughts and feedback on the app we are building

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, I'm afraid I just don't have the time to do so.

[@Uncool-vn5vz]

Interested as well!

[@Cruzzzzz1988]

I am a first mover on my app concept and its getting funding but. I do need a quick Q and A with you. Do you meet other online professionals? Id love just 5 minutes on a zoom call.

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, it is really hard for me to find the time to meet with people that need help.

[@RawStartup]

Thanks, I will add that to the list and you just gave it a bump up.

Another mistake for builders is putting the tech first before the problem. If nobody is buying don’t build a freaking backend that scales

[@RawStartup]

Classic mistake!
