What are the Stages of Creating Mobile Apps?
For a successful mobile application to be created and reach a wide segment of users, it must go through several well-studied stages.
These stages are not theoretical; they are a methodology relied upon by professional companies like Athr to build effective and scalable applications. When you understand these stages, you will know how a single application can move from a simple idea to a smart platform that attracts users and generates profits.
The Design and User Interface Building Stage (UX/UI Design)
The process of creating mobile apps begins with design because it builds the first impression and determines the ease of application usage. In this stage, we focus on:
1. User Experience Design (UX)
- Analyzing the user’s journey within the application.
- Identifying points that must be simple and easy.
- Drawing user flow charts to ensure smooth navigation.
2. User Interface Design (UI)
- Selecting appropriate colors and icons for the application’s goal.
- Designing clear and responsive screens for all devices.
- Paying attention to small details that make the application professional.
🔍 According to a study by Adobe, 38% of users leave an application if they find the design unattractive or disorganized.
The Programming and Development Stage (iOS – Android Development)
After the design is complete, the programming stage begins, where designs are transformed into an actual, efficiently functioning application. This stage depends on:
- Programming iOS and Android applications using modern technologies like Flutter and React Native.
- Building a fast and secure database.
- Adding essential functionalities such as login, maps, electronic payment, notifications… and others.
At Athr, we rely on writing Clean Code that is scalable, which makes it easy to expand the application in the future without the need for a complete rebuild.
The Testing and Performance Optimization Stage (QA & Performance Optimization)
No application can be launched without rigorous testing. This stage prevents problems before they appear and includes:
- Functional Testing
- Compatibility Testing with various devices
- Security and Data Protection Testing
- Measuring and optimizing application speed
The existence of this stage is what distinguishes the creation of professional mobile applications from ordinary apps that crash under the first user load.
📌 70% of applications that fail in the first 90 days could have been saved by good testing before launch.

Reasons for Application Failure Before Launch and How We Avoid Them?
Many applications fail despite having good ideas. The reason is not a lack of idea but the absence of the correct experience before launch. The most prominent reasons for failure:
1. Not testing the application on different devices
The solution: We test the application on dozens of devices (iOS + Android) to ensure full compatibility.
2. Weak application performance and slow loading
The solution: We use performance optimization tools like Firebase Performance and JMeter.
3. Complex user interface
The solution: Adopting a simplified UX design that increases user retention within the application.
4. Ignoring security and data protection
The solution: Implementing OWASP Mobile standards to ensure complete security.
5. Launching the application without an update plan
The solution: We set a monthly development plan to improve features and add new updates.
Designing UX/UI Interfaces for Mobile Applications—How to Achieve a Professional User Experience?
Designing UX/UI interfaces for mobile applications is one of the most important stages in the journey of creating mobile apps because it determines how the user interacts with the application, how easily they access information, and their ability to complete tasks without complication.
If you are wondering: “How can I make my application interface easy and attractive?” or “What is the best way to deliver an ideal user experience?” you will find the precise, practical answer here.
At Athr Company, we rely on the latest global design standards, based on actual studies and results that showed improving the User Experience (UX) can increase user retention by 40% within the first 30 days of launch.
What is the Importance of Design in Application Success?
Design is not just visual aesthetics; it is the number one factor in determining whether a user will continue using the application or delete it after the first minute.
Why is design essential for creating successful mobile applications?
- 80% of users decide to stay or leave within the first 5 seconds of experiencing the interface.
- A clear interface significantly reduces errors and increases the probability of achieving the application’s goals.
- Good design enhances trust and gives a strong professional impression of your company.
- Global companies like Apple and Google embrace the philosophy that simplicity is the key to success—and we at Athr adhere to this principle.
Principles of Designing Easy-to-Use Interfaces
Athr Company relies on the concept of “User-Oriented Design,” a methodology that focuses on making every step easy, fast, and uncomplicated. Here are the most important principles we apply:
Speed of Access to Information
In a fast-paced world, the user does not want to search for long to reach what they need. Therefore, we rely on:
- Intelligently distributing elements within the screen.
- Using colors and contrast that help attract attention.
- Providing a clear and easy-to-navigate menu.
- Adding a smart search bar that relies on automatic suggestions.
Research indicates that applications that provide quick access to information achieve an increase in usage time by +25%.
Simplifying Steps and Reducing Errors
The user will immediately leave the application if they face difficulty logging in, performing an action, or completing a purchase. Therefore, we focus on:
- Reducing the number of fields in any input form.
- Providing explanatory messages to the user in case of error.
- Using smart actions such as auto-completion and learning from user behavior.
- Designing clear and prominent buttons for essential tasks.

How Do You Guarantee Your Application’s Success After Launch?
After completing the creation mobile apps and officially launching them, the most important stage begins: maintaining the application’s success and continuously increasing the number of users.
Many applications may succeed initially, then collapse due to a lack of attention to what happens after the launch—a mistake avoided by professional companies like Athr through a continuous support and development plan based on improving the user experience, analyzing behavior, and updating features.
📌 According to a Statista study, 25% of users delete an application if it does not provide a good experience within the first 3 days of use.
Improving User Experience After the First Use
The first impression determines whether the user will continue with your application or not. Therefore, it is essential to improve the experience after the first use to ensure their retention and return.
How is this done with Athr?
- Analyzing the user’s entry path within the application and identifying the points where they exit.
- Optimizing interfaces to be faster and clearer.
- Personalizing content based on user behavior, such as product or section suggestions.
- Adding motivational elements such as smart notifications, rewards, or progress levels.
💡How can I increase user loyalty to my application?
The answer: With a strong user experience that doesn’t need explanation, and by providing a clear benefit to the user from the first second.
Periodic Updates to Maintain Application Performance
An application that is not updated… dies. Updates are not just for fixing bugs but also for adding new features that maintain the growth rate and support expansion.
Updates we usually implement at Athr:
- Periodic performance and speed optimization to ensure faster responsiveness.
- Launching new features that increase the usage rate among users.
- Supporting new devices to ensure compatibility with iOS and Android updates.
- Addressing security vulnerabilities to ensure the protection of user data.
🔧 Applications that receive an update every 3 weeks increase their likelihood of remaining in the market by 45%.
Periodic updates are a fundamental step in creating professional mobile applications that remain successful for years, not months.
User Data Analysis Tools to Increase Interaction
Data analysis is the fuel companies rely on to boost user interaction and increase profits. Without analyzing your data, you are working randomly.
At Athr, we rely on the strongest analysis tools such as:
- Firebase Analytics
- Google Analytics for Apps
- Appsflyer
- Mixpanel
What do these tools give you?
- Knowing the most visited pages within the application.
- Discovering the points where the user stops or exits.
- Analyzing the age group, interests, and geographical location of users.
- Measuring the success of advertising campaigns within the application.
- Daily monitoring of the Retention Rate.
