Questions

The barrier of entry to the app market is very low. Any semi-experienced coder can replicate most of the apps we see at the top of the best sellers. What makes apps successful and maintain their success if they are so easy to clone?

To a large extent, the skills required to develop an app have become commoditized over the past few years. Also available, are a large number of templates to kickstart app development (specially games). That being said there are some key issues which differentiate successful apps:

User Acquisition:
- Organic
- Paid (at a price that gives best ROI).

Sustained Development:
- Ability of the developer to consistently make changes based on user feedback. I think that app development really starts after the first version is released to the market.

Customer Support:
- How well can the developer interact with customer and build a community.

These are my immediate thoughts.
