If you want to make a very successful application, one of the best ways that you can work at making an app better is with elements that are quite addictive. Elements of your application they continue to draw your audience back into the application will help to ensure the future success of your app. Here are some of the top elements that you can introduce into your application to make sure people are consistently checking it:

Keeping it simple: An app that is simple yet fun to use will have people opening it up constantly. Apps like flappy bird and Tinder are so popular because they can be opened in a flash and used with very little effort or instruction.

Make it casual: remember that a large number of people today are using applications while they are on the go and as a second screen experience. Building an application that requires only a casual amount of attention can help to make sure your app is regularly opened.

By introducing time-sensitive elements in which the user has to login to maintain greater control over the app will help to make sure they are consistently logging in.

Introducing game application in applications can spike the competitive nature of users and ensure they regularly check in on the app.

If you have a great idea, sometimes this can be enough to help you create a quality application. Most application development tasks require an extensive investment up front but the good news is that with the right idea, you can actually build an application with zero capital up front. Here are some of the top ways that you can raise money for your application and cover development costs in a step by step process:

Start with your pitch: without a quality pitch it can be very difficult to help other people understand your application. Remember that there's a good chance you're going to have to share your idea tens or even hundreds of times before someone will step through with the funding. Create graphics and build a simple explanation of your app that you can use to captivate investors. Even with little experience in app development, you can build a pitch that will get people on board.

Study the marketplace: If you are building an innovative app with a market that desperately needs it, you could potentially even get your application crowdfunded. By looking deep into a marketplace and understanding the need for an app and how much users would enjoy having it can be a fantastic way to build trust and get your app funded.

Save your ideas: one of the first things that you should invest in is saving your intellectual property. If you have a great idea for an application, you need to do what you can to create a brand and to patent that brand as soon as possible.

Invest in a demo: if you are having problems gathering investors, sometimes a quality mockup or wireframe demo of your application can help them to truly understand your intentions.

Consider some of these affordable first steps that you can use to garner investment support for your application development.
