Mobile apps are leading the digital trend. Consumers find content and services consumption through mobile apps convenient and flexible. Multiple apps are available for an activity, and consumers are looking for an all-in-one app. So, the concept of a super app evolved to solve this all-in-one problem for consumers. Moreover, entrepreneurs are already exploring more information on building super apps to develop their own super apps and lead the market.
The following article discusses super apps, how they work, and how to build a super app.
What is a super app?
A super app combines several apps from multiple industries inside one main app. For example, PayPal is a payment app, and messenger is a communication app. Imagine that an app provides both functionalities in one app. My Jio app is an excellent example of a super app that offers services from multiple industries, from E-commerce to streaming shows and finance or games.
How does the super app work?
A super app packs several services from multiple industries instead of focusing on one, i.e., one app for all user needs. Super apps deploy multiple small apps inside one app. For example, if you open the finance tab in a super app, it will run another app inside the main app to serve financial activities to users. The same follows in the food delivery, games, streaming shows, and other tabs of a super app. WeChat is a perfect example of a super app that started the emergence of super apps, attracting entrepreneurs for super app development.
How to build a super app
Super app development is complex since you will target multiple apps in one app. Here is how to build a super app.
1. Identify the mini apps you want in your super app
Since a super app contains multiple small apps, you must identify your target industries. Be it finance, restaurant, games, travel, bookings, etc. Before starting the development process, you must be clear about your mini apps to make the final super app. To determine the mini apps, it is a great idea to research the user base and know what industry apps are trending around you.
2. Identify the UI/UX design of your app
3. Determine your platform and understand the basics of the tech stack
4. Pick your mobile app development partner
5. Discuss deployment and maintenance policy with the mobile app development partner
Once your app is ready, it's time for deployment. Before deployment, ensure that you have tested the app by sharing it with beta testers to remove even the slightest of bugs. Also, consult about the maintenance of your app with your app development partner because you must keep bringing modern updates to existing mini-apps or might have to add new mini-apps in the future.
