  2. Introduction MVP app is a minimum viable product; that is released in the market before the final app launch. It offers the basic functionality of the final product that solves a core problem for the users. An MVP acts an essential way to test a platform business model with a minimum amount of custom coding and complex functions involved. Even today’s immensely popular apps such as Uber, Instagram, Snapchat started out on a much simpler level. Years of iterations, development and a significant amount of capital makes these apps seem effortless today. (Source)

  3. Some of the main advantages of building an MVP app

  4. Study Market Demand The MVP allows you to test your business idea by getting a version of your product to the market. By offering the core set of features rather than a full-blown, feature-heavy product, you can test key hypotheses, gather user information and intelligence to reduce the time to market and save on costs.

  5. Gain Trust With your MVP app, you can demonstrate the market validity of your product and build a strong case for investment in your app. When stakeholders see potential in your app backed up with facts, they are much more likely to invest in your app.

  6. Evolutionize your App An MVP allows you to build up a user base and gain useful insights about your app, as to what works in the market and what doesn’t. Using this information, app developers can mould the app according to user needs. They can also make decisions on which features to add or remove, what aspects of the app will boost ROI more etc.

  7. Cost Effective By starting out with an MVP, you can distribute the app development costs over a period rather take a huge risk altogether. As you become more informed about the market demand and user needs, you can invest in features which are more in use.

  8. Less Time It takes much lesser time to build an MVP app rather than designing an app with fully loaded features. Once the MVP app is designed, developed and tested, it is helpful to gather user feedback from testers while creating the final fully featured product and for adding additional features. The traditional methods of a big app launch are long gone. Coming out with an MVP first is the way to go about these days. The road can be a bumpy one as you might have to get rid of certain features and add some new ones.

  9. Common Pitfalls of MVP Your MVP must be better than any other product that your potential customer has used. If your product is too minimal, then even that could create a problem. Make sure you are adding the requisite number of features to your MVP app. You need to understand the value addition the market would be expecting from your product. If you get the right picture in the beginning, then creating a full-fledged product will become a cakewalk for you.

  10. Examples of Successful Products That Started As MVPs

  11. Dropbox :- It started off as an easy to use file sharing tool. The team started small, created a simple website and added an introductory video, explaining the application. Ultimately they would have to do a lot of work on the product and integrate it with platforms like Android, iOS and Microsoft, but what they were able to do with their MVP was to quickly gain acceptance for a product that was unique back then in 2007. Airbnb :- Airbnb was another unique concept that was unheard of when it started. It helped people find reasonably priced rented accommodation across the globe. In fact, it connected with those who had accommodation and those who needed accommodation while travelling. The concept started off when Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky it founders, gave their flat on rent for extra income. The app was first built on an MVP model, and all the initial work was done manually.

  12. Buffer :- Buffer is another remarkable product that was launched in its MVP form first. Joel Gascoigne came up with the concept this social media automation tool at a time when social media marketing was picking up. The tactic used by Gascoigne was to develop a landing page and to work on building subscribers for the business. Buffer soon got widespread acceptance, and everyone knows the results. LinkedIn :- The product’s initial version was launched in the year 2003. The product, back then had a few features, like profile creation, searching for users, inviting users to connect and a summary page of your connections. LinkedIn initially allowed you to send connection requests to only those people whose email address one knew. The endorsement feature too was added a little while after the product was launched in its MVP form.

  13. How to Develop a Successful MVP?

  14. Strategise It is important to have a strategy in place for your minimum viable product, to be able to get the best of the results from it. Yes, you surely need to go fast, but the planning has to surely be in place so you can ensure you are in the right direction. You need to write down the most important features of your product first. Understand your target audience and then prioritise those features that you know your audience would buy in.

  15. Create a Landing Page A landing page is crucial to promote your Minimum Viable Product. You can redirect the landing page visitors to the app download page. You can run a paid campaign on Google and Social channels to promote your MVP landing page and get your initial downloads from there. You need to highlight the USP of your product on your landing page with a compelling headline and call to action. You also need to explain why your product will be useful to your audiences and can even add a short video that talks about the product and your vision going forward.

  16. The Product Should Not Feel Minimal You, as a business owner knows that you are a creating a Minimum Viable Product but, the end user should certainly get the experience of a full-blown user-friendly product. You should ensure that the service provided manually, is impeccable and there are no bottlenecks in the product usage. The success of the product largely depends on how well it can add value to delight the users. You need to ensure that the core functionality of the application connects with the audience and gives them something unique.

  17. Analysing the Feedback and Validating The Idea Validating the product idea is crucial to the success of your product and its future iterations. You need to examine the market feedback on two levels – the idea, that is the core functionality and the usability and the experience. If the MVP version of your app is not getting positive feedback, it does not always mean that your app or business idea is flawed. There may be chances that you can improve upon the usability of the application and go back to the users with some significant tweaks to start getting positive results.
