Mobile App Design and Development 2
Introduction
Currently mobile application is the tool that is being used widely for selling, branding,
and stimulating customer loyalty. To incentivize users to download them, then mobile apps
ought to offer benefits and features which a mobile website does not. This ought to include
specialized functionalities and customized user experience. This report assesses a mobile app
which we developed. At first the report list the major steps which were taken in coming with the
mobile app. Second, this report will list the essential things that, I learned in the project. The
paper will also will reflect on some of the challenges which we encountered while developing
the mobile app and some of the enjoyable aspect of the project. Lastly, the paper will focus on
the areas that we succeeded, how we can make money from the app, and the best platform that I
would choose if required to come with the app again.
Major Steps during mobile app development
The first and the most crucial step before embarking on the process of mobile app
development is listing development goals. Our mobile app revolved around three major goals
which were; a mobile app which is user-friendly, an application which offers the best features
and functionalities; this included determining the features of the application, and an app which
will assist the app users in deciding where they can have lovely food; this objective emphasized
on customer engagement with the application of other exclusive services. The second step was
developing a class diagram; this is as shown by figure one below. The class diagram shows all
classes, attributes, and their operations (Hayes & Johansen, 2010, p. 37).

The third step is developing wireframes; this is a shown by figure two below.

This stage assisted every member in having a good idea of how the app would look like
and the major features that ought to be included. The forth step was defining the backend of the
mobile application. We used this step to solve challenge like scalability. The fifth step was
developing the actual app; this involved actual coding of the app (Rittinghouse, 2004, p.
102). Some of the sample codes used in this project is as shown below.
