A brief of idea

Thousands of apps are added to Apple App Store every day. With around 80 percent of U.S. adults owning a smartphone, it’s no wonder that so many app developers can find new ideas to build. You can get in on this booming market regardless of whether you can code. If you have a background in web or software development, you should easily be able to pick up on the nuances of coding an app for Android or Apple iOS devices through books and online learning. If not, you can outsource the work, either online or to local developers in your area. App developers make money either by selling the app for a basic price, as “freemium” — which is free but has additional features a user can purchase — or for free but supported by advertising.
