25A – What’s Next?


Existing Market
1 After finishing app my next step would be to listen to feedback for my customer on how to improve my app to be more helpful to them. Along with looking for feature that feasible for the app that help the user do better in classes that they have not though off. This will be done through more market research.
2
Interviewer # 1
This interviewer say they used app like forest to help them focus in the classes. They said that my app needs more feature or further specialization to get them move to my product. They suggest thing like making app give recommendation to website to study for exam or classes along with the feature that I had already plan
Interviewer # 2
This interviewer has not used a productivity app but have used their phone alarmed system to try set up scheduling for study. Though they occasionally get distracted and fail to meet their goal with this app. They were willing to try the app if it was cheaply price.
Interviewer # 3
This interviewer was already satisfied with their productivity app and was already graduating so she said they were not interested. Though they personally only pay for the initial fee of app. They did suggest looking for way to add in app purchase that have not function like different wall screen for phone lock-down method. As it will give extra payment revenue while keeping customer who wish for one-time payment still attracted as all functional feature would be giving to them with the one-time payment at such, they will not feel like they have been given an incomplete product.

I was surprise that two out of my three interviewers were already diligent worker even before using the app. As I expect most consumer would be people who are doing bad in their class.  Also, for the first interviewer I always had idea to add more feature to my productivity app specialized in online class, so I was already planning for that. But I never though of adding feature to help guide student to website that provide study material due to my focus on app being set on developing a diligent work ethic for the user to help do well in their online classes.
 For the last interviewer I was surprise to be given suggestion on finding an extra payment method. But they said it was due to fact that this kind of app would require constant improvement that are free to their already existing consumer base to get more publicity and grow it market share. At such way to get a little bit extra money for minor cosmetic thing or from more supportive consumer who want to give out money to help development of this app. While not pissing off those who only want one-time purchase for this kind of app. They also suggest donation option in the app with note saying money goes to improving the app.


New Market
1
Another Market to considering going after though it a lot more competitive would be productive app specialized for those who wish to get fit.
2
 My new take on the app will work with integration with local community gym, along with reusing feature from my previous app that are more neutral. I could also make it have integration with my university online app to make it so that time schedule for schoolwork and for exercise collide with each other making you must choose one over the other due to poor planning.

 Interview 1
They were not online student, so they did not see value for the app integration aspect with my other app. He did say that integration with the local gym will be helpful, if it could tell him how fill the gym is to know the chances that certain machine is available.
Interview 2
They were not online student so saw not benefit with the integration aspect of this app. They were interested with general feature of the app due to not being a constant gym goer. They said would pick the app if had integration with the community gym due convenience. But he does no know much about exercising productivity app, so he does know how my app compare to them.

I am surprise there were not a lot of exercise app productivity user in the local gym though that may be due to limited number of people at the gym. At such I had to used interview of people who where interested in the app. This gave a lot more limited information regarding how this market function.
I was also surprised with how different the attitude of gym goer is to those of UF online student. In that UF student were more willing to used productivity app. Through this analysis I could guess that exercise productive app may be used more by those who do not want to go to gym, but still get fit and live a healthier lifestyle.  I feel due to lack of market information along with more intense competition for this market based on how many exercises on app store are available. This market is much less attractive compare to the market I am aiming for.
