How to write effective specs for Android games

Android holds around 60 percent of the total market share and with such a huge market demands for more and more android apps are coming into play. Making an app is not about coding and designing the app but also about how useful it was to the users and how much it has been approved by the users. Once you hire Android game developers in India, make sure you train him on the following skills.

Define the purpose of the app:
The first thing you should take care while making an android app is to think what kind of an app is it going to be. Is it going to be a mobile website or a native application for a business organization?  It is very important to understand the audience’s needs and make your app accordingly. 

In case there is a budget concern then go for the android website based app rather than making a native app as native app need much more coding and various programming skill sets and this gets costly.

Devices you are planning to target:
Make sure that the compatibility guidelines are mentioned in the spec of the android app. If an app is built for a particular kind of mobile phone running on android then care must be taken that it is well mentioned in the specs as sometimes a user might download the app and then find it incompatible with the device.

Take care of technical specification:
Make sure you know for what devices you are making the app for. You should be aware of the technical aspects on which the android app is going to run. Know about the screen resolution the android app is going to support and mention about minimum resolution and screen size the app is going to support. The android SDK is developing everyday and so as a developer it must be kept in mind that the app doesn’t go obsolete to much of the android users.
 
Where can you use it?
Think about the purposes that are going to be served by the app, whether it is just a general informative app or it must have real time interactions.  Make sure you jolt down everything on the spec of the android app for the users so that they are aware of the resource utilization. If the app is using an accelerometer of high memory space that it should be mentioned in the spec so that the users knows the consequences of using the app.

How secure is your app?
Make sure your app is secure enough if you are asking for a password or credit/ debit card numbers in you android app. If the app is not secure then chance are that the user might lose valuable information related to them via the android app. Make sure you highlight the security aspects of the app in the specs of the android app. The customers get relaxed once they know that your app is secured from intrusion and so more customers will prefer to use the android app.

Make sure the app is well tested:
Before rolling it out to the market make sure that the app is properly and rigorously tested. Make sure that there are no bugs or irregularities on the android app developed by you as if the app rolls out in the market with bugs in the app then that brings bad image for the app as well as the developers.

If hiring fresh talent isn’t a choice then the experienced candidates ought to possess these skills. Thus, hire Android game developers in India who can complement the latest trends in writing specs for Smartphone app development.
